Happy Birthday to Katie!

Today I'm sharing a bright & fun card!!!  What do you think?  I made it for our great-niece, Katie, that is turning 8.  She loves rainbows.....so this is the card I made this especially for her & sent it to her.  I used the Black & White stripped DSP from the Golden Honey Specialty DSP & colored the white stripes, using my Stampin' Blends.  You could color these stripes any color.  Or you could just leave them black & white!

Here are the colors of Stampin' Blends that I used-

• Dark Real Red
• Dark Pumpkin Pie
• Dark Daffodil Delight
• Dark Granny Apple Green
• Light Night of Navy
• Light Rich Razzleberry

 I did the curtain fold along this bottom.  Here is how I folded it.

How did I do it?
Here are the measurements that I used to make this curtain fold.
DSP- 3 x 6"- score at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4", 4 3/4"
Then cut from first score mark at 2 3/4"- to the far end, to make a diagonal.
Then color.
Then fold.
Then adhere!

This is what the back side of the DSP looks like after I colored the stripes with my Stampin' Blends.
I didn't want the bees/flower/leaves to show, so I added some 1/2" strips of Whisper White card stock to the 2 pieces that show on the front side with the curtain fold.  

This is what it looks like after I have adhered them & am folding it to adhere to the front of the card.
NOTE:  I adhere this folded curtain DSP strip to the front of the card, using Tear & Tape.
