Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Flowering Cactus Product Medley.

I’m excited to share a fun idea with you today. It’s a card that opens to reveal a blooming flower. I had been seeing several versions of this type of card in my Pinterest feed lately. And the look of this paired so wonderfully with the cactus theme of this medley.

A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for creating this blooming blossom card using the Flowering Cactus Medley. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on the image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
