Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
This stunning interactive fun fold card features the beautiful Gallery Blooms Bundle with vibrant peonies and florals stamped in rich Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce inks. The card showcases an innovative folding design with multiple panels that create visual depth and movement when opened. Each panel is adorned with the gorgeous Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper, which perfectly complements the stamped blooms with its painterly watercolor style florals in coordinating colors. The Basic White embossed background panels feature an elegant geometric pattern that adds sophisticated texture without competing with the bold floral elements.

The focal point displays beautifully colored peonies with intricate details, showcasing both full blooms and buds that demonstrate the versatility of the Gallery Blooms bundle. The flowers are expertly shaded and colored, with the Poppy Parade creating rich coral and red tones while the Shaded Spruce provides natural green foliage. A delicate “celebrate” sentiment is positioned on a clean Basic White banner and adorned with an elegant white satin ribbon bow, adding a touch of refinement to the vibrant design. Small pearl accents are strategically placed to enhance the overall elegance of the composition.
The card’s unique construction allows it to stand upright when opened, creating an impressive display piece that would make any celebration extra special. This interactive design not only surprises the recipient with its dimensional format but also serves as a keepsake that can be displayed long after the occasion, making it perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or any celebration worthy of such an elaborate and thoughtful creation.
The inside of the fun fold card continues the cohesive design with Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper strip along the side, framing a clean white writing space that’s accented by Poppy Parade matting. A delicate stamped floral motif from the Gallery Blooms set is positioned in the lower right corner, adding a subtle decorative touch without overwhelming the message area. The envelope flap showcases the full beauty of the Mixed Media Florals pattern with its gorgeous watercolor-style blooms in coral, pink, and green tones, creating a stunning first impression that perfectly coordinates with the card’s vibrant floral theme and sets the tone for the celebratory surprise waiting inside.
