Dynamic Duos #51 - Stampin' Up! - Under the Big Top

Hello!

I am so thrilled to be part of the Dynamic Duos Design Team....I've been a long-time fan & participant so it really means a lot to be on the team! Hopefully you will play along each week with me and the gang!! :)

This week's fabulous colours are:


I decided to make a 'Funky Fold' card. You just need your
Stampin’ Trimmer to cut and score the appropriate measurments. If you 'google images' for "Funky Fold Card", you will find a tutorial. I thought I would make a fun birthday card for a child using Stampin' Up's Under the Big Top stamp set. I know this is retired but it really has the cutest images and I can't stop using it!! :)   







After I finished my card, I realised that I didn't have an envelope big enough.....but never fear....the Stampin' Up Simply Scored is here!!! I just grabbed a piece of Designer Series Paper and made a quick envelope that was big enough for my card. :)  


So get busy with these beautiful colours....can't wait to see what you submit!

Cheers
Alison
