I needed a card recently for a lovely lady celebrating her 80th birthday. I chose to use some flowery DSP to make a card similar to the one demonstrated in this video.
It was actually a very quick and easy card to make and I was pleased with how it turned out.
The flowers on the white, arched rectangle are a vellum sticker with metallic gold highlights, so I heat-embossed my sentiments with gold EP, too.
When we arrived at the birthday party, I saw that the decorations (including the balloons) were in gold and white. My card coordinated nicely!
I have lots of older, discontinued designer papers, and this is a great way to use some of it up. Besides that, this funfold makes a very pretty card.
I stopped by a farmer's market on my way home from volunteering yesterday and picked up some fresh sweet corn. It is the first we have had this season, and it was SO GOOD! Minnesota farmers grow some incredible sweet corn, and I look forward to it every summer. The local crop becomes available in the markets around the middle of July. We will be enjoying it regularly for as long as the season lasts.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Gorgeous flowers and I love that fun fold. I've been trying different folds. I am going to watch that video.
Very cool card and a pretty vellum sticker. Happy birthday to your 80-year-old friend! I'm sure she loved the card.
Beautiful birthday card for your special lady - I bet she was thrilled with her card and celebration. We are enjoying sweet corn here in southern MO for about 3 weeks now - so good.
