Fancy Fold Friday - Dainty Flowers Double W Fold Card

This is going to be a year of special cards for special birthdays... so here is the first of many a fun and fancy fold card...

Which I call the Double W Fold Card... which is based upon a card (that was incredibly popular) that I made many years ago HERE... (so I could call it a Double Pop Out Strip Card but I think Double W Fold is less of a mouthful!)

Back to this card another day... as whilst we were there we made a few!!

This version was sized around the Dainty Flowers paper pack cut out panel on the front of the card.... 

These papers have proven extremely popular... as they are gorgeous... and a pack can be yours for free with every £45 ordered during Sale A Bration... but remember not quite 2 weeks left for the Sale A Bration promotion now... ends 28 February... 

And bear in mind that there is the Dainty Delight bundle to match! So you can buy the bundle and get the co-ordinating papers for free... Simples!
