Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Happy Thursday!! Who is looking forward to a "long" weekend for Memorial Day??? Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee . . . . LOL And we're supposed to be returning to Spring-like weather (upper sixties; low seventies); instead of "July in May" weather -- LOL Hopefully we can putter on some projects around the house; and find some relaxing moments too!!
Back in February I showcased this Diagonal-Fold card showcasing the Parisian Blossoms suite of products!
You can see more about that blog post HERE.
I've been meaning to do a tutorial on this "fancy fold" but have been dragging my feel a little bit!
About a week ago I was perusing Pinterest and ran into an idea with the Free As a Bird bundle, and was reminded that I really loved this card fold and wanted to play with it again!
And so . . . . here we are today! With a "remake" of this fabulous "fancy fold" (or fun fold), remade with a different designer series paper and a whole new set of stamps and dies!!

I'm not going to go into too much detail today on how to make this card; or how I assembled it.
Join me next week, instead, for a Class With Wendy video tutorial, and I'll step you through how to create this fun diagonal-fold card.
AND . . . we'll use some brand-new product at the same time!!
I wanted to showcase the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper in this project today - sadly this DSP will not be carrying forward!
BUT, there's a new product tucked into this design -- can you see it ?? 😉😉😉
All the birds and leaves are fussy cut! A little time-consuming, but not too bad!
And there is plenty of Wink of Stella in all the right places for a lovely shimmer added to this card!!
Here's an expanded view of the card opened up.
I added some coordinating DSP on the back side of the flaps for some extra color and fun!
Do you love it?? 😉
And a close up view of the sentiment panel.
I hope you enjoyed today's CASE - and I look forward to sharing "Class" with you next week!
I Love to hear from you. Leave your questions or comments below!!
Hugs, . . .
