Birthday Girl fun fold

7/16/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Howdy peeps! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project! Half down, half to go! ;) I was inspired to try a diamond origami fold that was showcased in an older Splitcoast Stampers tutorial HERE. Definitely a unique fold that I so enjoyed making!

I created the card base from a full 12×12 sheet of patterned paper in the Colorbok Mint Julep Designer paper pad. I used CutCardStock Flamingo cardstock to embellish the front and middle layers. I stamped the t-shirt from the Stampin’ Up Custom Tee stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a coordinating print in the same paper pad and cut it with the coordinating Stampin’ Up T-Shirt Builder Framelits. I colored the collar and added Stampendous pink Dot Sparklers for the buttons. Next, I stamped the front sentiment on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock in black ink and cut it with the coordinating die.

I stamped a sentiment on the middle layer from the same Stampin’ Up Custom Tee stamp set in black ink and embellished the panel with several more Stampendous pink Dot Sparklers. Finally, I embellished the inside panel with a strip of another coordinating patterned paper in the Colorbok Mint Julep Designer Paper and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up birthday Blossoms stamp set in Catherine Pooler Polished ink.

Here are sequential shots of the card opening up. Love how this turned out!
