Amazing Family Mother's Day Card

It has been a very busy week! I am getting ready for our annual downline training event, Spring Into Stamping. I'm helping to coordinate the make and takes again and I every year, I seem to forget just how much work it is! It's like giving birth -- your memory blocks out the hard part and you just remember the good stuff! I know we are going to have a great time on Saturday and I'm especially excited about some surprises we have planned. But in the meantime...I'm in crunch mode! Late nights, working all day. No Words With Friends for me this week! (wink!)

I do have new stuff of my own to share, but I haven't had time for pictures and videos, so I wanted to share an new idea from Stampin' Up! today. Stampin' Up! refreshes my business website with new samples each month. This is on the of the new cards for April. It's clean and simple, just my style! I love how they even used the Stampin' Wheel on the envelope flap!

Patterned Party Flip Up Card

 This birthday card has a fun flip up top that reveals a colorful birthday banner.

 

This is one of the cards in my Stamp of the Month Club series for March. I was planning to film a video for it, but have not had time. It's not that complicated, so I'll just tell you how. And if you still don't "get" it, leave me a comment and I'll add it to my list to do a video!

Here's how to make this Flip Up Card:

• The banner is stamped on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that forms the back of the card. 
• The front is two pieces: Summer Smooches Designer Paper and the Daffodil Delight cardstock. The Lucky Limeade cardstock strip is glued to the top of the Daffodil Delight cardstock.
• Lay the Designer Paper & Daffodil cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. The Daffodil Delight cardstock should overlap the Designer Paper by 3/8" (the width of the Lucky Limeade cardstock).
• Pierce through both layers on the left side and attach them together with a brad.
• Use Sticky Strip ON the back of Daffodil Delight cardstock, right under where the Designer Paper overlaps. Use SNAIL adhesive on the side and bottom.
• Attach the Daffodil Delight cardstock to the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock.
