Window Flip Card

 Here's a little video to show you how I created this card, a Window Flip card:


After someone asked me for directions, I decided the easiest thing to do is to create the video.  Enjoy, but keep in mind that when scoring the inside piece, look at the scoring measurements that I included in writing, not what I said (I made a booboo!).  


Now give it a try!

A Window Flip Card for Merry Monday

(I'm a day late with Merry Monday; had issues getting this short video to load 😩)

Have you seen these cards:





 I saw this template and knew my Card Club ladies would love it!  And they did!

We used Pretty Peacock for the card base, and Regal Winter 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.  


The Decorative Trees Christmas tree was cut with Pretty Peacock and we added a Silver Foil overlay from the same die set.  


The greeting was heat-embossed with Silver Wow Embossing Powder - so pretty!


I think this one will create a few "WOWs" when the recipients receive them, don't you?

Five in Five Friday - Autumn Card

 Here's a card I made to celebrate autumn.  


There's something new here - Two-Tone Cardstock!  You'll notice the lighter background color against the darker front panel - that is two sides of one sheet of paper!  


If you are wondering how I made these leaves, take a look at the products I've been using this week in this little video:

Roses for an Anniversary

The Layers of Beauty set with the decorative masks can help you create some gorgeous roses!  And it's so easy; with 5 numbered masks, Blending Brushes and ink you will end up with flowers that make you feel like an artist!


Aren't they beautiful?

I made this anniversary card for my son and daughter-in-law, who just celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary.


The flap on the front actually "snaps" down, with tiny magnets for the closure.  

I stamped the roses with Smoky Slate ink and then colored them with the decorative masks and 3 colors of purples:  Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.  The leaves use Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist.  And it's so easy with the Blending Brushes!


The card opens like this (the light-colored circle on the right is a magnet, covered with a punched dot of Highland Heather cardstock).

Here's a close up of the circle:



Open one more flap:


and the greeting is revealed.

This is such a pretty card, and I enjoyed putting the extra flap on the front, with a peek-a-boo window!
