Hi Friends! Today’s card tutorial is for this month’s “Leaders Project Sheet Group”. I wanted to create a fun fold card with a summery/fall feel to it. I also use my “Block Background Technique” for the daisies. If you haven’t tried this technique you’ve got to give it a while – it’s so much FUN! You can watch my video tutorial for this technique here.
This fun fold card has a flap on the front that open up….
…ta-da! A little message behind the flap!
Here’s the tutorial for you, including a PDF printable:
I hope you have fun making this card:
