Hand-Penned Petals Fun Fold

Published on January 27, 2023January 27, 2023 by Michele Jutrisa

Today on my ‘Live’ I created this great Fun Fold, this is another interesting find on Instagram that I just had to try. I have used the Hand-Penned Petal Stamps and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies. The Designer Series Paper used for this card is from the Dainty Flowers 12 x12″ found in the current Sale-A-Bration. When you spend $90 or $180 you can earn a product for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. Links to Catalogues and my Online Store can be found towards the end of my post.

The sentiment was die cut using the Amazing Thanks Dies

I am now following a Blog called Pinkfresh Studio and this is from a post back in last November. They have called it Fun Fold Birthday Inspiration Card with a Pop-Up Twist. It is great to be inspired by so many wonderful card makers.

Below I have added the measurements I used in both Metric/A4 and Imperial/ Letter (this is a smaller size card to Australia A4)

Measurements Used…

Paper	Colour	Imperial/ Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Fresh Freesia	5½ x 8½”, cut 2 Score- 1, 1¾, 3, 4½	21 x 14.9cm, cut 2 Score – 2.5, 4.5,7.5, 10.5cm
