About This Card Design
This special fold card features a mini card that opens over the diagonal fold, adding a fun interactive element to your creation. I designed this card using the Stampin’ Up! Storybook Moments Suite Collection, which includes adorable characters and a whimsical theme.
or the front, I used the Storybook Friends dies to frame a sweet bunny scene from the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper. The soft, delicate look of the printed image adds a heartwarming touch that’s perfect for any recipient.
A Beautiful Color Palette
The background of this card features a subtle yet elegant pattern from the Classic Plaids Designer Series Paper Pack. The soft color combination of Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow ties everything together beautifully, creating a sophisticated and harmonious look. These colors are perfect for springtime and beyond!
