Waltzing Mouse Stamps has a challenge right now to make a moving or interactive card. I decided to make a shaped flip card.
I used a partial die cutting technique to cut the flip portion of the card. And I modified the card to make the center portion narrower which allowed more to show through the opening when the card is closed. The part the thank you is stamped on. I did a trial using the paper sizes and score lines used the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and there wasn’t enough showing to stamp on or to look right. Which also meant making the overall card smaller to maintain an overall size of 4.25x5.5”.
Other than that, I just decorated the card as usual. I was a bit tricky to mat the front of the card with patterned paper. I wish I had added it before doing the die cutting but I managed.
When the card is closed you can’t see this flourish but I added it because you can see it from the back where I will put my message to the recipient.
Enjoy, Rebecca
