I offered my demonstrator Team, North Star Stampers, a random chance to win a product gift certificate from me. If they sent me a fancy fold birthday card, their name would go into a random drawing. Shari Ball, my direct Team member from Illinois won the drawing and has a Gift Certificate to ENJOY!! CONGRATS, to SHARI, who has been a demonstrator since 2004!!
Shari's floral card is an interlocking gate fold. Thanks to all Team members that entered!! I sure enjoyed getting your cards!! Hurray for handmade cards!!

Here is a FUN idea using Regency Park Designer Series Paper #160559. This fold shows both sides of the designer paper.
Working with designer paper is easy. The color palette is predetermined for you.
TIPS: These rectangles are cut 2-1/2 X 1-7/8". Cut the four rectangles as "one," so they are the same size. Cut one template the same size, and then cut off the corner at a 45 degree angle. This template determines the fold of the designer papers so they are all the same. The center opening can be varied to accommodate the focal point. The deeper the fold, the larger the center opening. This flower is created with the Petal Park Builder Punch #160576.
This mixed metallic paper combines metallic ink and foil with textural dry brush designs for a unique finish. You’ll love how it looks on your cards! This gorgeous product is Dry Brushed Metallic 12 X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper #160837.
This paper is cut with my favorite dies, Scalloped Contours Dies #155560.

HELLO crafty friends! Alphabet A La Mode #160750 is extremely versatile!! I love that this design is narrow and TALL!! That means more letters fit on a card front!! Yea!!
Handy Tip! To line up your letters, use any straight edge. Here I used a post-it note to create a straight line. Keep letters close together when creating a word. I like to use a pair of tweezers to hold the letters and position them. I ALWAYS use Adhesive Sheet #152334 on thin dies! Apply the Adhesive sheet to the back of the card stock BEFORE die cutting. This creates an easy to apply sticker!
This lovely black frame is Framed Florets Dies #160623. I also used the Adhesive Sheets when die cutting this frame. The bias plaid is the Country Gingham 6X6" Designer Series Paper #160388 in Mint Macaron.

Use the handy Adhesive Sheets #152334 on the backside of the cardstock BEFORE die cutting letters. They become stickers for a clean, quick application!

The lovely Regency Park 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #160559 creates a fun "FLOATING IMAGE" card! Simply attach assorted strips of paper to a Window Sheet #142314 leaving small regular spaces between papers. This layer was die cut with a Deckled Rectangle Die #159173. Run the die through your machine several times to cut through the Window Sheet completely. When you attach it to the card, dimensionalize it and it appears to "float!" Easy!!
I trimmed the waste and used it as an accent inside the card!
Have fun mixing your colors and designs! This is a great card to use up your Designer Paper scraps! Try it!
