What a fun card, Jaimie! And, 1st things 1st, I really like the way your parents spelled your name. About holding your card flat. Girl, that's a tough one! The way you cut, scored and folded it, works against gravity. Somehow, the banner going down will have to do all the work here, so try to make that one heavier, especially at its bottom end. Just moving the leaf & sentiment down to 1/4" above the left hand banner tip would change the balance of the lay out, but if you cut out a 2nd leaf and glue that onto the right banner about 1/4" lower than the current placement of the bottom leaf, angling it to the right, that balance will be restored (I hope). However, do keep the last alterations as are, so with the extra scoring and addition of the Basic White. You'll need everything you can get. I thought of adding the small Dahlia on top of the left hand leaf, but just leaves is so fun. We already have many flowers, don't we?

Great suggestions! Thank you!!!
So pretty from Australia
Hi 🙋🏻♀️thanks for watching!!!
Very cute card! Instead of scoring card base at 1.5 and 7 score at 2.5 and ? The top flap needs to be wider/thicker to give the flap more weight.
That’s a great suggestion. Thanks!!
Would using magnets on the banners help hiding it beneath dsp and perhaps double thickness banner with opposite magnet between
That’s a great idea!!
