Easy Fun Fold – Wildflower Designs

Easy fun fold – Wildflower Designs. Here’s an easy fun fold inspired by my upline, Amanda Fowler which she shared on one of her craft and chat shows. The original design was from a card she received from Lesley a member in our team so thank you both for the inspiration. Amanda did hers with the Sketched Butterflies, but I thought I’d give the Wildflower Designs a little love and see how it will turn out.

In the picture above, the card will fold flat to fit into an envelop, but it is on the bulky side so may require extra postage. The picture on the right shows the card open.

Below, the picture on the left shows a view from the top and there is a piece of Basic White adhered to the back so there’s somewhere to pen a few lines to the recipient. You can also just make out the hinges which creates this fun fold which is in the same colour as the card base so that it all blends in together.
