Hey Y'all!
I wanted to share this very special card with you today. I made it for my "Aunt Madeline" who is really my cousin. She and my mom are Double First Cousins--sisters married brothers--today is her 100th birthday, and I am getting ready to go party with her, so I've got to get moving!
I decided on this Double Easel Fancy Fold to showcase that stunning magnolia...you know us southerners love our magnolias. I followed the measurements from TX Stampin' Sharon (Sharon Armstrong), a fellow demonstrator. She made a wonderful YouTube video showing how to do one of these.
The fold itself is very easy. You just start with a top folding card base (4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2), then add another piece of card stock, I chose Mossy Meadow cut at 4 x 10-1/4, scored at 2-3/4 and 5 on the 10-1/4 side. You will also need 2 pieces of DSP, one 3-3/4 x 5, and one 3-3/4 x 2-1/2. These designs were from the Magnolia Lane DSP.
I dug out a retired set, the Number of Years stamp set and Number framelits and gold embossed the 100 onto Mossy Meadow. I also gold embossed the large magnolia stamp twice, and cut out the center of one and popped it up on top of the other one to add dimension. I used Stampin' Blends to color the large magnolia. I also fussy cut a bloom from the DSP to add an accent to the bottom fold.
What is a special card without a special envelope? I used the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing folder for the design on the striped DSP, I love how that added to the look!
And here she is, the lady of the hour! Happy Birthday Aunt Madge! I hope you enjoyed your day, you are so loved by so many, and we are so thankful to get to celebrate 100 years of living with you!
