My granddaughter turned 19 yesterday and this is the card I made for her. Actually, I made two cards for her, but I didn't like the first one, so it ended up in the bin.
This is a fun-fold card, which is why it looks a little cockeyed. I promise you, it's not! The center piece with the mushrooms is a tri-fold that is adhered to the 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" panel (with its 4" X 5 1/4" piece of DSP).
When I decided to use some cute pink mushrooms and tiny heart flowers for my main image, I didn't know if they would appeal to my granddaughter. She texted me, however, to say how much she liked it.
Of course, I also added a circle with her age, cutting the numbers from some glitter cardstock.
Because I didn't think that was enough bling, I added a tiny gem to each of the heart flowers.
This photo shows how the center card folds out. The pocket in the middle is where I added some cash for her.
The center tri-fold started as a piece of white cardstock that measured 4 1/2" X 9 3/4", scored on the long side at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2". Each panel can then be decorated and embellished as you wish.
I really enjoy making funfolds like this one. They're so much more satisfying than the usual side- or top-fold card. I need to make a few of these to donate. I think the customers at the thrift store would really like them.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Fabulous birthday card. The pinks are bright and and cheerful. Mushrooms seem to be predominate these days. I love the fun fold. I will be trying this for some of my money gifts for Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration.
