    Simple Friendship - Tri Shutter Card

    From the outside of this card, you may assume it's just a regular 4.25 x 5.5 inch card, at least I would, but this card opens into this.....
    a Tri Shutter Card


    This is one of my favorite stamp sets, called Simple Friendship and I'm sorry to see it will retire by the end of the month, June 30th, but the good news is there is time for you to still get it. Remmember only while supplies last.

    This card is also using the DSP called - In Color which is currently a hostess set that can be earned for free with a $150.00 workshop total and will no longer be available after July 1.


    I really enjoyed doing this card and love the color combination of Marina Mist, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede, and So Saffron. This card can be used for any occassion and the middle part is perfect for any saying you may want to add.

    Here is a close up of how glitter can add just a little more to a card. I used crystal effects and combined it with glitter in a separate container, than used a tootpick to drop in the mixture to the areas that I wanted to add just a little more sparkle.


    Stampin Dimensionals were used to pop up the scallop circle and Big Butterfly on the front of the card. Hope you Enjoy!!

    11. You have reminded me how COOL tri-shutter cards are! I love how you decorated each fold on the card. The look of the Crystal Effects with the glitter is just the right touch.

    14. Loving butterflies right now. Did you combine different stamp sets (butterflies from different sets)? If so, I LOVE that idea!! :)

      The color combo is so fun & fresh
