#3.   (free sale-a-bration set with $60 purchase)

take 2 White cardstock scored to make side folding 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2 size card.(DO NOT use thick cardstock for this project)

with one add a 4x 5 1/4 piece of crumbcake and mount using tape to the outside margins only and diecut a circle from the white and crumbcake panels. - Here I used Spotlight on Nature dies (but any simple shape die will work- even if irregular will work too for this project) 

emboss the crumbcake panel after cutting with So Swirly but Soft Waves embossing folder would be really great for this.

stamp the seagull with french fries, the distant seagulls and gravel onto the white circle panel you diecut (keept the crumbcake piece for another project)  use blender brush to add some color to the sky - here I used pool party and crumbcake for the sand) 

Stamp I love you more than sentiment on a 1/2 inch strip of white cardstock..  stamp French fries on another piece and the french fry image on a scrap piece of white cardstock and color in.

 

take the second white cardstock and score in between the center fold 2 1/8 inch from each end. 

Glue the left panel of the second white basecard to the the right half of the back of the white panel with the circle diecut out ( from the scored center to the half way out) - make sure to put the glue only on the back panel with the circle cut out and no glue on the open area..

the far right panel of the second white cardstock will be glued to the inside far right side of the first panel with the circle diecut.

so when you open the card there will be the circle opening on the left and a W fold in the center.

close the card and glue the circle panel to the RIGHT HALF ONLY in the opening so that it will flip when your card opens. 

attach the sentiment to the front and inside as desired.

Beautiful butterflies slip out card

My friend Sheryl had sent me a dragonfly card with this slip out and when I saw this butterfly I knew I had to try it with it.  So this was one of the january class card we made during Stampin' with Lynda.

Take White cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and score at 4  1/4 to make a top folding landscape A2 card.

take a piece of white cardstock 4x 5 1/4 and stamp the hello on the r side with black memento 

diecut the slit - here I used the sentiment strip from Delightful wished but you can you the one that comes with the Butterfly set ( a little wider) or use the paper cutter to make a slit. 

I kinds of figured out where I wanted the butterfly and embossed the image to line up with the slit.

mount the embossed white cardstock to the basecard - - the slit should li\ne up.

stamp and diecut the large butterfly and color in as desired. 

add tear tape to the center of the butterfly and with the card closed use the slit to line up the butterfly and adhere to the base card through the slit so that when you open the card the butterfly wings will pop up and slide through the opening 

 

 Enjoy!
