I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect! This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!
She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.
The colors include Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride. Of course they came from the colors in the Santa Express DSP. This paper will be 40% off starting December 1st with the Last Chance sale. But remember it's while supplies last!
Inks include Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron, White Craft & Blushing Bride. The 'Joy' greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set.
Here are the measurements of each piece. But honestly to figure out how to put it together you may want to watch the video.
Shaded Spruce 8 1/2" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" & 7", 8 1/2" X 2" scored at 5 1/2" & 7", inside piece is 2" X 1" scored at 1" to the corner diagonally • Mint Macaron 5 1/4" X 4" • Blushing Bride 5 1/4" X 1" & scraps for snowflakes • DSP 1 1/8" X 4" for right side, 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 1 3/4" for left • White 5 1/4" X 4" for back and scraps for snowflakes & oval greeting
Here's a photo of the wiper mechanism. This is the scored end of the 8 1/2" X 2" layer.
It's a super fun card to open and then open again and again! There are endless possibilities to add to your wiper pop-up; think greetings, animals, balloons, stars….
2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!
We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.

Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.
Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.
Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.
Measurements:
Card base 5" X 10". Score at 2 1/2" & 5". You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark. From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners.
Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark. Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners.
Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
Designer paper squares are 3"
Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!
The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.

Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch.
