I made a lot of Mother's Day cards and didn't share them all with you back in May, so I thought I'd share another one now. This was a fun card to make. If you want the details on how it's put together, check out this post.
The smaller, top-fold center card flips up and the polka dot triangular flap flips out. Hence, the name of the fold.
The flip-flops were some dimensional stickers that had been in my stash a very long time. In fact, they had been laying around so long that all the stickiness had gone from the backside. A little glue took care of that problem, and I added a tiny gem to the flower on each one for a little sparkle.
The sentiment was stamped, punched out and popped up with foam squares.
The pretty scalloped border was cut with a die and glued in place on the front of the blue card.
This is how the card looks when the front of the blue card is lifted up.
And this is how the card looks when the triangular flap is flipped out. On the inside, I added a little scalloped border to the top and stamped a sentiment.
We have just returned from a 5,000+ mile RV trip, so I will be playing catch-up for a while. We traveled to Scottsdale, AZ, to visit friends, then to southern Utah to visit the National Parks there (Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Arches). From Utah we traveled to Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, to visit our kids there and to attend our granddaughter's high school graduation. On the way back to Minneapolis, we stopped in West Fargo, ND, to visit our daughter and grandkids there.
It was a fun trip, but after 3 1/2 weeks away, I was ready to get back to our usual routine at home. I tried to keep up with my blog-reading and commenting while I was away, but internet service was sometimes sketchy or non-existent. If I missed any of your posts, I apologize!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
Cheryl
