Homemade Sweetness flip flap birthday card

Is it jam? Or jelly? Preserves? Or conserves? What ever it's called it's full of yummy fruity goodness that's for sure! 😋 unless it's honey that is and then it's just yummy 😋 😜 And these pattern papers called Homemade Sweetness are just as yummy 😋! 

The colours are cheerful and the style is very cottagecore. Which check do you prefer the the b blue? or the petite red?

For this inspiration I decided to go with a fresh green, blue and white colour palette with flashes of the red. The fruity palette is blueberry and cherries 🍒 🫐. All with petite florals and gingham checks.

The sentiments used on this sample are from a set called Words & Wishes. They're all stamped in the blue shade called blueberry bushel.

The fruit and jam jars are all fussy cut from the papers.

The extra flap on the inside gives you lots of spaces to decorate. It would also work well as a gift card holder or with the addition of a pocket cash or tickets.

The card would also work as a photo card or one where lots of people wish to write a message.
Here are the measurements for the card. 
For the card base part 1 you'll need a piece cardstock measuring 14.85cm x 25cm scored at 10.5cm and 21cm ( 5½" x 10" scored at 4¼" and 8½").
Card base part 2 is a piece of cardstock measuring 8.5cm x 17cm scored at 8.5cm ( 3¼" x 6½" scored at 3¼").
Watch the video below to see how these 2 pieces become this fun card 


I hope this fun card will be one you'll give a go at making for yourself.  If you do please share your creations in the comments either here or over on my Facebook page here  .

Have fun.

Disclaimer Please be aware that the inches version is for North American Letter size cardstock and as a English woman I use cm's and A4 cardstock which are both different sizes! I have tried my best to ensure the the North American version is correct but if I've made a mistake please let me know so it can be corrected.
