The Casually Crafting Design Team is a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world, gathered together to share our passion for creativity with you. Our focus is to bring you inspiration featuring projects that are easy to create while still packing a powerful creative punch. The projects are made with only a few products, making them ideally suited to a beginner or casual crafter.
This month the Casually Crafting Design Team is featuring a Sketch Challenge. I made a simple Horizontal Gate Fun Fold Card.

I used the Best Day Stamp Set which has some awesome sentiments. The Favored Flowers Designer Series paper is a FREE item from Sale-A-Bration when you purchase $50 or more before February 28th. I also used the Handmade Tag Punch to create the focal point of the card.

To Make This Card:
- Cut a 4 1/4″ x 11.0″ piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and score at 2 3/4″ on each end. Use a bone folder to make crisp folds on the score lines.
- Cut two 2 1/2″ x 4.0″ pieces of Flavored Flowers Designer Series paper and attach to the two front flaps using your favorite adhesive.
- Cut two 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and attach them in a horizontal orientation on the front of the card.
- Cut two 1.0″ x 3.0″ pieces of Fresh Freesia cardstock and attach them in a vertical orientation on the front of the card.
- Use the Handmade Tag to cut out a flower arrangement from the Flavored Flowers Designer Series paper.
- Cut a 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ strip of Fresh Freesia cardstock and stamp with the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Best Day Stamp Set using Blackberry Bliss ink.
- Use the Handmade Tag to cut out the edges of the sentiment so that the sentiment will match the curved sides of the tag.
- Attach the cut sentiment to the center of the cut out of the Handmade Tag of Flavored Flowers Designer Series paper using dimensionals.
- Attach the left-side of the Handmade Tag Flavored Flowers Designer Series paper to the front of the flap of the card using your favorite adhesive.
- Cut a 4.0″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the inside of the card and stamp the “It’s the Best Day because it’s your Birthday” sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink.
- Attach the stamped Fresh Freesia cardstock to the inside of the card.
- Cut out a single Blackberry Bliss flower and green leaf from the Flavored Flowers Designer Series paper using paper snips and attach the cut-out flower to the bottom of the stamped Fresh Freesia cardstock.
- Tie a bow with Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and attach to the front of the card using a glue dot.
- Attach 3 Pastel Pearls to the front of the card.
