Floral Garden Shutter Card

Hello my crafty friends:  It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog, and  I'm sharing a sweet little Shutter card using a not-so-new die set by Lawn Fawn. I go over all the details on YouTube:  

Once again I used that older patterned paper package from Carta Bella - this has been in my stash for several years and I'm trying to USE it rather than just sit and hoard admire it. 😊 There are lots of little bits and leftover pieces in the package now, so I used a couple of them to decorate the belly band. And of course I love the stitched edges on the LF dies.

The die set even comes with a die that cuts a perfectly sized belly band - love that! I kept this one fairly simple, as it was the first time I used the dies. Once I was finished though, I had SO many ideas and I have left the set out on my stamping table to use again soon. 

I am not usually a fan of smaller cards - this one measures 3.5 x 5" - but when it is open it's a full 5 x 7"! Once I realized that, I was even happier I had invested in the set. Before I purchased it, I had seen the Lawn Fawn assembly video and realized that I would use the set more if I also got the Add On set, which eliminates the need to cut the cover twice then cut the second one down for the inner centre panel. Then I would also need to line up the included stitched circle die for the window. I also really like those stitched lines that the Add On centre front panel came with. 

While these dies were a complete impulse buy - I know I'll get a lot of use out of them. I had made four cards with the dies from Taylored Expressions (and will make more for sure), this one seems so quick and easy to put together I'm glad I added the dies to my collection.
