A special birthday card made using the Wild Bunch stamp set and the Mixed-up Patterns designer series paper from Stampin' Up!

Here is a pretty, fun fold card made using the Wild Bunch stamp set for a friend’s special birthday.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the wild bunch fun fold card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 10” by 5” scored at 5” on the long side
Mixed-up Patterns dsp – 4¾” by 4¾” x 3
Secret Sea – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½”
Flirty Flamingo – 3½” by 1¼”
Thick Basic White – 10” by 1½” – fold in half on the long side then fold each half in half again
Secret Sea – 2¼” by 2¼” x 3
Basic White – 2⅛” by 2⅛” x 3
Scrap Flirty Flamingo

 

I began by gluing the 3 panels of Mixed-up Patterns dsp to the Thick Basic White card base measuring 10” by 5”, one on the front and the remaining 2 panels on the inside.

The highland cow was stamped on the larger Basic White square using Secret Sea ink. I used Petal Pink and Crumb Cake Blends Pen to colour in the cow. A Soft Sea Foam Blends Pen added some ‘ground’ and I used a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of sky. The decorated panel was then glued to the larger Secret Sea square. I die cut the largest banner from the strip of Flirty Flamingo card using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  The die cut banner was cut in half and added to either side of the decorated panel. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

I mounted the panel on the remaining Secret Sea square and then added it to the long strip.
