I was given the assignment from our own wonderful Miss Lora for the mini crop to make an interactive card. I chose a flip top card. I used a darling new digi from Faith at Designed2Delight. She has some very very cute new digi's in the store and I hope you will pay her a visit.

and the flip top!!!


Details:

Cut cardstock for the card base at 51/2 x 41/2. Round top corners, distress. Cut flip top piece at 41/2 x 21/2. Round corners to match the top. Cut a piece of DP at 41/4 x 31/4 for the card front. Adhere to card front lining up the bottom and sides. Punch your border eyelet punch on a 41/4 piece of paper. Adhere to top. Place top card front over card base, slipping bottom edge under the border and aligning top and side edges. Punch a hole on the left side through all layers and fasten with a brad. Make your top tag with anything of your choice. Stamp a sentiment inside the top card base.

I hope to see you all there for World Card Making Day and have some great fun with friends.

Glad to be Back!!!!

I'm finally back from all the work of moving to a new home. It was quite the challenge but well worth it. I love my new place and the people here in this darling little mining town tucked into the mountains of Utah.
I have soooo missed all of my blogging and crafting friends. I can't wait to get back to Cardmaking. I have my room finally set up and found some things that have been stashed for ages... I hope you will continue to visit. I would love to have you all stop by...
