Hello and Welcome! - I've been absent for a bit but not because I haven't been stamping. (More on that later in the post).
So awhile back I found a card that I had received in a card swap that had this cute little flap on it that had been closed with Velcro. I wanted to try and make a card similar to that so I looked up flap cards and found a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD51w3HslUs) on how to create an "easy" flap card.
I watched the video and followed the directions and while my card is nothing like the one she made and doesn't close like hers it's still a version of a flap card.
I used Sweet Miss Daisy (Unfrogettable) stamp set again for this card. The images were stamped on Watercolor paper and colored with watercolor pencils and then fussy cut. The balloon has crystal effects over it but doesn't show well in the photo.
Needless to say this card was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Oh the parts all came together just find but keeping it closed was another story. I tried some Velcro (which wasn't very good quality) so I ended up ordering a different brand which eventually worked.
Anyway here are 2 shots of the card showing the Velcro and the inside of the card.
Hope you enjoyed my version of a flap card.
Now for my Announcement. - If you've never heard of, Splitcoaststampers.com be sure to check it out. It's an amazing place to see all kinds of cards and projects for Free with one exception...see below.
I was asked to be on the Fan Club - Dirty Dozen Team! - So I've been busy making cards for the June theme (Golden Opportunity). However since it's a paid membership you won't be able to see my cards here on this blog for now. - The membership is only $24.95 a year or 6 months for $14.95.
Tomorrow is the day the Dirty Dozen posts their projects for June.
I'm just excited about being asked and I promise that while you won't see these cards unless you join the Fan Club I will still be creating cards for this blog that you can see like the one above.
