Delightful Double Z-Fold Floral Card

I combined several products to create this beautiful spring card. The flower, from the Art Gallery stamp set, is stamped in Fresh Freesia and Mint Macaron, then die cut. The sentiment is from the Flowering Tulips stamp set, and the DSP is from the Fancy Flora suite. The fresh freesia dots are from the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems. I love how they look together on the Daffodil Delight card base!

I love impressionist paintings, and this paper reminds me of that style. Isn’t is gorgeous?!? I love it so much. I am looking forward to making many more beautiful cards with this paper!

Here is the video that shows how to make this fun fold card!
