Hexagon Triple Pocket Twist Birthday Card

 Fun Folds always intrigue me, 

like this Hexagon Triple Pocket Twist Card.

 

 

Luckily there was an excellent tutorial that accompanied this 

fun fold card, which I originally spied on Pinterest.

This paper is from a pack called Wild Flower.  I love all the shades of purple.  It reminds me of all the flowers in my yard that first open in spring, crocuses, lilacs, tulips, hyacinths, azaleas and the rose bud tree that was originally a shoot off a dear friend's tree.

Here are two more views of the card, partially opened.

 

I used stamps from various companies: Simon Says Stamp, CTMH, Art Impressions, and My Favorite Things.  The front ovals were made with a SU punch.  The ribbon, a purchase from Violet's in Lakeland, FL,  just slides off like a belly band.  I was trying to keep the weight down for mailing.  BTW, this fits in a regular A2 envelope.
