April Paper Pumpkin Alternative and Hugs From Shelli Inspiration

You can write on the panel on the other side of the striped piece of designer paper

Today's card is bright an bold and beautiful! I learned this fold from Victoria Lozier, one of my fellow demonstrators in the Stampin' Pretty Pals. I recently swapped cards with her at On Stage and her card was folded like this one. I hadn't seen that fold before, so I had to make one!

I used the Distinktive stamp from the April Paper Pumpkin called Sentimental Rose. It's one of my favorite stamp sets since joining Paper Pumpkin years ago. 

The measurement for the Crushed Curry fold (base) piece of card stock is: 11" x 4-1/4". Then you score it at 1-1/2", 3", 
5-1/2" and 8". Add paper strips that are 1/4" smaller than each rectangular shape. The card base is one piece of Crushed Curry card stock (run through the Big Shot with the Subtle Embossing Folder) measuring 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". Making this card is a great way to use up scraps of (in this case retired) Designer Series Paper. Mix up your patterns and colors if you dare!
