Lift the flap card

Hi Everyone. Today I want to share a card I made for my Card Buffet. I wanted to add a little bit of fun to a card I saw on the 'Stampin' Through The Catalog' site on Facebook. The 'Stampin' Through the Catalog' page is really great for inspiration and they work through all the stamps in the catalog one by one and make great samples. They invite you to share yours too. They have a Pinterest page, Facebook page and Instagram. Check them out!

I saw this card with the truck with a bow and changed it up just a little to add the lift the flap.

You can see a full how to for this card on my YouTube Channel.

This is an easy card to make. You can use any fun Designer Series papers to decorate the truck. The Best Delivery Stamp set is from the January to June mini catalog. Take a look at your stamp sets and see if there are any that would make a fun Lift the Flap card.

Here is what the inside looks like.

Shop with me! I would love to be your demonstrator. I always send a hand stamped thank you card and sometimes more with a larger order, and I share my Stampin' Rewards with you through my Frequent Buyer Rewards! Earn FREE STAMPS! Click on the Frequent buyer tab to download the tracking sheet.

Lift the flap card

Hi Everyone! Have you seen the new stamp set 'Dad Jokes'? I thought it was super cute and I haven't seen a lot of samples so I thought I would throw one out there.
I used the joke about the pizza. My daughter learned this joke in Kindergarten and told it to us over and over again for days, maybe weeks. It comes up every now and then. It says "I would tell you a joke about pizza, but its a little cheesy". It's also good for our family because I will occasionally say that something is cheesy and my husband, when we first met, had never heard people say that. He is not from the Chicago area, he is from Des Moines. It's funny how some phrases are only in spotted areas across the country. My niece was at the zoo with me once and said she wanted to find the "bubbler" and I thought it was some sort of animal but it turned out she was looking for the drinking fountain. Anyway, back to the card :)

I wanted it to be a lift the flap card because I thought that worked best for a joke so I came up with this design. I used my Layering Squares Framelit dies to make the flap. It's really pretty simple and I made a video to show you how to do it.

Now the stamp set says that it is for Dads, but you can easily use it for other people in your life. I think kids like jokes and that this would be a fun stamp set for young boys. If you use a marker to ink up the sentiment 'Happy Birthday, Dad' you could just ink the happy birthday and you are good to go.

I love the little pizza too! I used my blender pens and ink pads to color it in. Blender pens allow you to get a softer look with the ink and you can do a little blending to make the crust or cheese look more like crust or cheese :)
You can see that on the video as well.
