Flap Fold Card

I wanted to thank all of you for your kind comments about my brother.  I forgot to mention that he won't be home from Afghanistan until October, so it will be a while until he's home safe.

Today I wanted to try something new so I went to see what this weeks Try a New Technique challenge was on SplitCoast.  The challenge was a Flap Fold Card (you can see a tutorial here). 

I covered the top flap with Designer Series Paper to match the DSP on the bottom part of the card.  It just about lines up perfectly.  I cut all three layers on the flap with the largest circle on my coluzzle (see the tutorial for directions).  I've never lined up curved layers before and I was pleased with how it turned out.

I love this little lion from the Wild About You stamp set.  I like to layer him like this...

I stamped him three times--twice in Bashful Blue and once in Brilliant Blue.  I punched out one of the Bashful Blue images with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch.  I cut around his mane on the Brilliant Blue image and I cut out just his head from the second Bashful Blue image.  I added dimensionals between each layer and stuck him all together.  Isn't that cute?

See you tomorrow!  ~Dannie
