Modern Garden Fun Fold Card

The Fall 2023 Creativate Retreat was AMAZING, as always!!

If you have never registered for the Creativate Retreats, you're missing out! They are so full of creative inspiration! The videos are all LIVE, so you can watch and comment along. Prizes are awarded to three lucky winners per live event! How cool is that? I guarantee that once you attend one Retreat, you can't wait for the next one!

The Creativate Team consists of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Sharon Armstrong, Jackie Bolhuis, Connie Stewart & Brandy Cox.

This is the first year that I completed all the Pre-Retreat Challenges AND all 8 Challenges as well! And it was so fun to be able to accomplish all the challenges! So, you will be seeing all my projects in the next week or so. I can't wait to share all the fun... and in no particular order.

My next project was created for Sharon's Project 2 - a fun fold card. Sharon didn't have a specific name for this fun fold, but it is a "fun" card!

I created my "Birthday" fun fold card using Stampin' Up! Modern Garden Stamp Set, Modern Oval Punch, Irresistible Blooms Dies (for the leaves) and Garden Walk DSP.

For my card base, I used Pretty Peacock cardstock.

This is how the card looks opened up.

The Garden Walk DSP is so pretty! I had to add it on my envelope flap as well.

The sentiment was stamped using Pretty Peacock ink and die cut using the Modern Oval Punch, which was adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

The flowers were stamped with Wild Wheat, Poppy Parade & Pretty Peacock inks and fussy cut.

The leaves are from the Irresistible Blooms Dies. They were stamped using Mossy Meadow ink.

The embellishments are Blooming Pearls.

The ribbon is Basic White Herringbone Ribbon. I looped it once and adhered it to the card front before adding the sentiment/flowers.

This card doesn't open up flat, but it's a perfect card to display anywhere.

Inside my card, I stamped the flowers and leaves in the lower corner. The sentiment was stamped using Pretty Peacock ink and additional group of mini flowers were stamped using Poppy Parade ink near the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
