interactive Flap card

One of my friends commissions several cards per year for her family and I try to do something a bit different each time. I shall add this card to the challenge at Peace on Earth

This is my first try at a flap card although I’ve had the Spellbinders die for some time. I found a tutorial to follow and this is the result. One thing I realized is that keeping the pieces in the orientation in which they are cut, makes it easier to put together. The frame didn’t seem to fit until I realized the orientation was off. The die set came with daisy flowers but as it is an intended Christmas card I used poinsettias instead. Mine came from a die by Dee’s Distinctively and I only used three, so have enough left for another card. The PP is from a paper pad but I’ve mislaid the brand name. Sentiment is from a Divinity Design set and I also added a sentiment on the underside of the flaps but it’s another temporarily mislaid set. Its probably underneath the stuff on my work surfaces.

Underneath the flaps

I used a small YNS shape die to add the pull tag at the top, but couldn’t find the stamp set with the words I needed, so I hand wrote pull. The next goal, after our party this weekend, is to sort out my craft room and find the missing sets. They aren’t gone, just hidden.

Once I figured out how it works after watching the video several times, it wasn’t that difficult to do and I’m pleased with the end result.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and your time.
