Fancy Folds with the Flowering Tulips Dies

Spread the love!

I have so many followers as AVID STAMPERS that love “fancy folds” projects. This project is called a CURVED FOLD CARD. When the tabs are fitted together the card creates a curved dimensional front that stands freely on a shelf or a mantle. My Newsletter Subscribers for March got a FREE PROJECT PDF.

I’ve also produced a video on how to use the Tulip Dies to build the tulips needed for this project. Check out the additional link below.

Colors using EVENING EVERGREEN and CALYPSO CORAL and DSP from Daffodils Afternoon
