I have a fun card to show you today. My darling daughter just ended her teenage years! I thought it was a momentous occasion that warranted a gate fold card. She loves flowers, so I used the new Daisy bundle – Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy punch, Delightful Daisy DSP. “Everything’s comin’ up [daisies]!” (I hope someone remembers that song besides me!)
My card is a blend of new and retired products (and one non-SU embossing folder). I fussy cut the flower from the DSP and popped it up on a dimensional for a little added interest. To hold the card closed, I made a “belly band” that holds an extra sentiment. The back of the card also can be stamped upon and is where we signed the card.
It’s All in the Details
Measurements:
- Card Base: 10 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
- Scored at 3 1/4″ and 7 1/2″

I think this card should be pretty self-explanatory so I won’t give any details today. If you have any questions whatsoever, just ask me in a comment and I will answer you pronto!

I love the design of your card, and I’m sure Sarah will, too! Old Olive and Daffodil Delight are such a wonderful combination, and this card is really lovely. The tag on the belly band is just the beginning of the amazingness of this card…..love love love!!!
As I scroll though the Stampin’ Pretty Pals Paper Put class of the month, I am always drawn to your cards.
I don’t know why because the other submissions are just as nice.
