Simple folds show off fun paper

A paper crafter often has paper that coordinates well with other patterns and colors but might be too busy a pattern for their typical card designs. In my opinion, this card design is perfectly suited for fun papers. Two Stampin' Up sites give directions for this with only slight variations in where they scored their base cardstock. Check these sites for cutting and scoring dimensions: Dawn's Stamping Thoughts  and Connie's Simply Simple Stamping

In my card, the papers are all from Stampin' Up. The Stamps are My Favorite Things Soda Pop stamp set. The pop bottle, straw and bottle label are from Die-Namic's Soda Pop Bottles. This card went together very quickly.

I used a scalloped circle punch on gray cardstock under the yellow lemon and red Happy Birthday circles. I was going for a bottle cap look but don't think it quite looked like that. The bottle die embosses the panels (for lack of a better word) and I went over them with a clear glaze pen to highlight them.
