Hi Crafting Friend,  I was playing with a few new products (Floral Blooms DSP and the new In Colors, 2025 Annual Catalog) and made this card. Unfortunately, I can't link them in the product list below until the catalog goes live in May, so I linked a current DSP and ink pads that coordinate with it that are similar to what I used on this card. That way, you could duplicate a very similar card if you don't want to wait until the new products come out. I will give the instructions with the linked products, but the actual products used will be listed below the photo. I hope that's not too confusing.

Cut another piece of cardstock 5 1/2" X 3" score at 1/2"(valley fold), 1 1/2" (mountain fold) and 2 1/2" (valley fold) It will look like a "W" when finished. Adhere the outside of the 1/2" portions to the inside, front and back of the card, keeping the folds flush with the bottom of the card. This provides a stable base to display the card. INSERT: Basic White cardstock - 5 1/4" X 4" Adhere to the back of th...
