Tri-Shutter Birthday Card

I love, love the tri-shutter fun fold. This fun fold technique it a bit more challenging to do, but the final result is always breath taking. I made this card for a very dear, close friend for her birthday. Green is her favorite color so of course, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen were the first colors I thought of. Both of these colors are part of the 2021-2023 In-Colors. I will be so sad when they are replaced by the 2023-2025 In-Colors; get yours before they are gone! I really hope whenever Stampin’ Up! does a color revamp that these two greens are included into the Stampin’ Up! color family.

The base of this card uses a 12 inch by 5 1/2 inch piece of basic white cardstock. I used Evening Evergreen as the layer base for the Ever Eden DSP (retired) and the sentiments. Soft Succulent paper was used for my die cut layers and some of the stamped images. I went a little crazy with the DSP and used it on the reverse side of the card too. I used the retired Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Lasting Label punch, #158651, $19.00, AC p. 152. The stamp sentiments and leave accents are from the Framed Florets, #161815, $23.00, Jan-Apr MC, p. 65; Eden’s Garden, #157823, $23.00, AC p. 59; Happy & Heartfelt, #158005, Retired 30 Jun 2022; and Flowing Flowers, #157880, Retired 30 Jun 2022.
