Today is the third post of the week featuring the Sale-a-Bration Fruit Salad 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper for a WOW Fun Fold card.

Here’s how the card goes together.

• Card base either 4¼” x 11″ scored at 5½” or 5½” x 8½” scored at 4¼”.
• Inside can be matted with both colored card stock (4″ x 5¼”) and a piece of Basic White card stock (3¾” x 5″) added for stamping
• Designer Series Paper for the front, 5¼” x 6″, scored at 4″ and added to the front of the card

Add designer series paper to the card front and decorate as desired. Everyday Arch Dies and fussy cut pineapple and greeting added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Inside of the designer series paper adhered to the card front.

How about a side view of the card with matching envelope.

Inside of the card with images from the Birthday Celebration stamp set. This was a little difficult to take a picture of.

Next a second card featuring the Fruit Salad designer series paper teamed with the Citrus Blooms stamp set and Mediterranean Blooms designer series paper.

Finally, the inside of the card. Images from Labeled with Love Bundle.

Today I have a second card featuring the Sale-a-bration 6″ x 6″ designer series paper Fruit Salad.

Card base for the card was made with the largest die from the Everyday Arches Die Set. Whether you get the Everyday Arches Bundle (stamp and dies) or just the dies, there are so many possibilities.

Fold your 4¼” x 11″ card base at 5½” and when die cutting with the arch die, make sure not to die cut the fold and we have your card base. Additional arches where die cut for the layers.

Greeting for the card is from the Round We Go Bundle and die cut with banner from Stylish Shapes die.

Next, the inside with additional arch die cuts and the pinwheels from the Round We Go Bundle. Pinwheel is made from Pumpkin Pie card stock and both a small and large pinwheel glued together.

In case you did not know, today is not only my birthday, but my friend Cindy. Same day, one year apart. Happy Birthday Cindy!

I’m celebrating by sharing a card made with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle.

The bundle includes a stamp set, hybrid 3D embossing folder and dies. Since there is not a Happy Birthday stamp in the set, I’ve used one of my favorites from the Labeled with Love stamp set, part of a bundle with either dies or a punch!

Looking for color combos? Pulled these from page 32 of the Mini Catalog, I’ll list them below.

Color Buddies:

• Summer Splash and Pool Party
• Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath
• Pumpkin Pie and Peach Pie
• Calypso Coral and Petal Pink

Happy Hibiscus stamp set includes both an outline stamp and filler stamp (two step stamping) for both the flowers and leaves.
