Butterfly Flip Flap Card

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

I do believe that winter came back with a vengeance yesterday!

We have some very crazy winds outside and temps dropped from 60's to 30's!

Shawn & I are heading out for breakfast this morning then running some errands quick. I'd like to get back home and do some stamping this afternoon while it's blustery outside!

Today I have another flip flap card to share that I made using some old paper from SaleABRation. This paper is Sycamore Street DSP and I have a full package of it to use up! A flip flap card is a great start to displaying DSP!

Does anyone remember this paper?

It was pretty popular back in 2013 when it came out! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Very Best Occasions

Ink: Island Indigo (retired)

Cardstock: Island Indigo (retired), Pool Party, Tangerine Tango (retired), Basic White, Sycamore Street DSP (retired)

Accessories: Brilliant Wings Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Iridescent Rhinestones, Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Island Indigo, Pool Party & Tangerine Tango were all In Colors that year and some have come back in our Color Refreshes and then retired. Pool Party is still one that has stayed!

I have heard that we will be having another Color Refresh with this new incoming catalog! Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon will be making another entrance soon! It's funny.....I still have my inkpads and cardstocks! I may just need an ink refill though!

Valentine's Day Fun Fold

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Today I am sharing the 5th card from last Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together.

This was the last card I created for that event and a fun one, too!

I saw a card on the Facebook Stampin Up! Demonstrator page which did not give the measurements so I sat and played with it until I got it to look like the card that was shown. The sample used the Thanks A Bunch stamp set which is a SaleABRation stamp set and I used the Country Bouquet stamp set to create a Valentines Day card for the girls. I don't know if there is a particular name for this fun fold but I called it a Flip Flap Fun Fold. Say that 5 times! LOL

This was a hard one to get a good picture of! 

If you look at picture #4 you will get the idea of how this card looks when opened.

The girls loved making this one as it is easier than it looks!

The hearts & leaves on the front were punched out of the Country Lane Floral DSP using the Country Bouquet Punch. That also made it easier and much quicker. 

I will be using this fun fold again at another of our get togethers soon! 

 

I will list the measurements down below if you interested in trying your hand at making one.

Card Details:

Stamps: Country Bouquet, Inky Antics (inside sentiment)

Ink: Sweet Sorbet

Cardstock: Sweet Sorbet, Pale Papaya, Basic White, Country Lane Floral DSP

Accessories: Country Bouquet Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Dies, Iridescent Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Flip Flap Fun Fold Card:

Card base measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

On the front panel you want to cut on the diagonal from the scored fold at the top to the opposite corner on the bottom.

The inside flap measures 3 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

Decorate as you please and have fun!

Hope you will give this a try!
