How cool would it be to learn how to make a mini origami star fold card? This card even fits in our standard medium-sized envelope! <br><br></br>

I got together with my friend and teammate demonstrator, Zeny Lucey, the other day. Zenny taught me the MOST AMAZING CARD—the Origami star fold card!! It was a card made out of 12 x 12 card stock and shaped like a star! At first, I thought it looked like a card that would be out of my comfort zone to create however, with a few simple instructions, I made my first star fold card and it made me so happy!

Recently, I purchased a beautiful journal as a gift for a friend’s birthday and of course, I wanted to create a card to match the gift. I used the journal as my inspiration. Since the journal has binding and rounded corners, I decided to create a simple book fold card. <br><br></br>

For the front of the card, I used Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set to create beautiful blended flowers and colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
