The best part of this fun fold card is that the opening can be any shape. The Beautiful Shapes Dies includes a series of graduated size hexagons that are perfect for this opening.
The small ‘bridge’ bottom allows the card to easily be displayed and the backside provides plenty of space for a handwritten message and signature. Best of all, this card collapses flat to fit into a medium size A2 envelope.

Layer up those dies! The Layering Circles Dies are the most frequently used dies in my studio. The graduated sizes range from 1″ to 3″ and include scallop circles as well.

Sketched imagery is incredibly popular due to the realism of the images and Stampin’ Up!’s concept artists are among the best of the best. Easy to color and reminiscent of real like occasions, you won’t want to miss the In Moment stamp set.
