Stampers Showcase Blog Hop - Fancy Folds

Hello and welcome to the June Stampers Showcase Blog Hop!!

This month we are featuring Fun Folds. I have had this idea of creating this front panel on a card since purchasing both the Timeless Arrangements Bundle and Countryside Corners Bundle and coming across an old favourite stamp set called Apothecary Art. Some of you may remember or still have this amazing bundle.

I have to say it took a lot of time die cutting and using Glue Dots™ to get all the small pieces in the right position but it is so worth it! The fun fold base is simple and that afforded me time to fiddle around with the die cut pieces. I love Lost LAgoon with the Berry Burst and Bubble Bath.

Inside the card I kept it simple with just the sentiment and some Designer Series Paper. The sentiments in the Timeless Arrangements Bundle are perfect for so many occasions and speak from the heart.
