The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set, along with using envelopes from the August 2022 Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers Kit.

One of my challenges for today is the Festive Friday Challenge.  I choose Purple, Red, and Flower as my three.

Another challenge I am entering is the Seize the Birthday Challenge–Anything Goes

I started with a card base of Mossy Meadow card stock.

• The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.
• Fold as a mountain fold at the 2-1/8″ score line and a valley fold at the 4-1/4″ score line.
• Cut two pieces 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″ from one of the Sweet Sunflowers envelopes to create your Designer Paper.
• Adhere the two pieces to the 2-1/8″ panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
• Cut mats for the diamond-shaped piece, which is actually a 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″ square that will be positioned as a diamond when adhered to the 2-1/8″ panel
• Cut two pieces 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ from a Sweet Sunflowers envelope to create your Designer Series Paper.
• Adhered the Designer Series Paper to the Mossy Meadow mats.
• Cut a Mossy Meadow card stock mat 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″.  This is for the large diamond inside.
• Cut a piece of the Sweet Sunflowers envelope 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″.
• Adhere this piece to the Mossy Meadow mat.

• To create the little box hinge that the large diamond adhered to cut a 1-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Mossy Meadow card stock.  Score at 3/4″, 1-1/2″, and 2-1/4″. You can see the box hinge in the picture above.
• Adhere one end of the hinge on one side of the score line and the other end on the other side of the score line.  Do not adhere directly on the score line. Look at the picture above a good place to adhere would be at the edge of the Designer Series Paper.  This will create the box.  You can see in the diagram above.
• Score the large square that will become the inside diamond on one point at 5/8″.  Fold and burnish well at score line.  Place Tear & Tape on this folded piece and adhere to the box.
• The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbird stamp set. It is stamped in Blackberry Bliss in
• 
• This is how it looks when it is opened after the inside diamond is in place.  The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel created from one of the Sweet Sunflower envelope flaps applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
