Looking for an interesting fun-fold card that will get you ooh's and ahh's?  Try this accordion-fold card front with the Stampin' Up! Flowers & More Designer Series Paper, a Host selection with a $150 order from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Select a pattern and print.  Use them on alternate fold on your accordion fold card front.  I also added a sentiment label from the Something Fancy dies and the open flower is from the Cottage Flowers Dies.  I added more interest to my card front by adding a dry embossed Whisper White layer using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.  The basecard and the matte for the sentiment label are both Starry Sky Cardstock.  The Thinking of You or Happy Birthday sentiment are from the Go To Greetings Stampin Set, and the Melon Mambo Opaque Adhesive Backed Gems add a little bling.  You'll love creating with these wonderful papers and stamps. 


Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Flowers & More Designer Series Paper


The basecard for today's card is Starry Sky Cardstock.  Then, a layer of a Basic White layer dry embossed using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.

Then I used a piece of Basic White Cardstock 4-1/4 X 11" and scored it according to the instructions below using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  Crease the folds with your bone folder to ensure crisp folds.  The I used a floral print and the geometric pattern on the reverse side from the Flowers & More 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper Pack, a Host selection from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, and cut them following the cutting instructions included below. I adhered them to the according-fold Basic White piece, and attached the accordion fold piece to the Base card with the Embossed layer.

I selected two of the dies from the Something Fancy Dies set and created a matte of Starry Sky Cardstock and a label of Basic White.  I stamped a sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set in Starry sky ink onto the label, and added two of the Melon Mambo Opaque Adhesive-backed Gems to the label.  I die cut a Basic White flower using the Cottage Flowers Dies and added it to the first panel of the accordion fold.
