Welcome to Creative Creases Edition #91 where Anything Goes with Fun Fold. Today’s Wild West project is an Easel Card created with the Winterly Treetops bundle and Nests of Winter DSP. These little birds are so sweet.

What I Love:

• One sheet in the Designer Series Paper (DSP) has a beautiful border printed on each opposing sides. The center looks like little drops of moisture falling from the sky. I used it on the front of my card.
• The bird dies can be either stamped and die-cut OR used to die-cut matching images on the DSP.

Winterly Treetops Bundle

Nests of Winter DSP

The die-cut bird duo is attached on the bottom front panel only allowing them to pop-up when the card is displayed.
