If you are a lover of hydrangeas like I am you will enjoy the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! The paper is jam-packed full of beautiful blooms in all our favorite springtime colors.
I used one of my favorite prints from the paper pack for a fancy-fold window card that I was dying to make.
I think my favorite part of this card are the vellum petals with pastel pearl centers on the front of the card. To make the petals, I colored vellum with Highland Heather and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend Markers then punched the petals out using the Small Bloom Punch.
The Hydrangea Hill fancy fold window card is like having two cards in one because when you open the card front . . . surprise, there’s a z-fold card found inside. This card is one that I will be making more of.
