Floral Boutique Birthday Wishes
Today's card features a fun fold called Double Dutch. This card opens like a Dutch door but with two bottom doors instead of one. So cute!
The Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper (DSP) is definitely the focus here! This is my Mom's favorite DSP. Floral Boutique DSP reminds me of a floral quilt she made a few years ago with the same navy and white color palette. It has such a sweet pattern!
Floral Boutique DSP is also part of the Designer Series Paper Sale! What a great time to give this fun fold a try!
The Double Dutch Fold was quick and easy to put together. Below are the measurements for each of the pieces. Cut each of the pieces before you assemble the base of the card.
After your pieces are cut, it's time to create the detailed edge on the bottom of the top fold. I wanted a scalloped edge but didn't have a punch or an edgelit die. I created one by using the circular motif strip from the Flourish Thinlits. By partially die-cutting the circular motif strip, I created a decorative edge that was still attached to the card base. Talk about double duty for your thinlits!
Partially die-cutting is not as difficult as it sounds. Place the card base on the Big Shot Precision Base Plate with the top flap up. Place the entire circular motif die just above the edge of the top flap of the card base. Secure the die and card base with washi tape.
Position the clear plate halfway on the circular motif die. Slowly crank the platform through the Big Shot twice, keeping the clear plate partially on the circular motif die. Take your time.
How pretty does this decorative edge look!? I think it gives a delicate detail that is certainly a wow factor.
Next take the 2" by 8-1/2" piece of Night of Navy cardstock, center it with the bottom of your card base and adhere it.
Add the DSP rectangle and squares to the front of the card. Tie a bow with the Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine.
Stamp the dear friend sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock. Punch out with a 1-1/2" circle. Die cut a 1-3/4" scalloped circle from Night of Navy cardstock. Adhere the sentiment circle to the scalloped circle. Add dimensionals to the back and adhere to the lower right square on the card front.
Stamp the happiest of birthday wishes sentiment and the small flowers on the inside layer and attach to the inside of the card.
Have you tried the Double Dutch Fun Fold? I would love to see how you would recreate this card!
