I love a quick and easy card – and this easel fun fun fold card fits this brief perfectly.
I am giving you a little teaser with this project as the bundle I’m using is from the just launched Fancy Floral Suite in the brand new mini Jan-Apr 2023 catalogue.
Did you notice anything different in the dates for this new mini?
Stampin’Up! have announced that starting this year (2023), the mini cattys will only be for 4 months and that there will be additional online products released monthly for you.
That’s exciting news, but let’s get started with what you will need for this project.
It’s actually very easy and the decorative part is all up to your imagination.
