Double Flip Card

I love fun fold cards. I came across a video recently that shows a double flip card, which not only peeked my interest, but looked easy to make. So I followed along and made a template. Then today I made three cards to send to stamping friends. You start with an A-2 card and cut two panels (out of the top layer) on each side of the card. You add designer paper to the strips and center front (I added an embossed layer). Then make a sentiment panel to place across the bottom of the front (gluing it only to the outer two panels). Then you add an inner card for your message. For the image that goes beside the sentiment, I added a fussy-cut leaf branch.

Easter Greeting Card

Where did the time go? It's been a busy couple of months and I decided to take today to make Easter cards. I also wanted to participate in the current Festive Friday challange.

I didn't know exactly what type of card I wanted to make, so just looked through my stamps and finally decided on the images. First, I stamped the little girl and greeting in pink on an ivory card stock. Next, I stamped the cherry blossom branch at the top and colored in the flowers (using a fine tip artist brush) with the same color ink. I cut that layer to size and backed it with a black card stock to give it a border. Lastly, I added the layers to the pink A-2 folded card. It needed a little more, so I added some pink adhesive pearl dots in the open spaces.
