Flip-It


This is a front or closed "flip-it" card.  It is easy to create one using the Sizzix die which is available in four or five different shapes.  I added strips of kraft paper (one punched for a decorative edge) and patterned paper.  The flower is a die cut and the text is stamped.  I drew hand stitches around the edge of the frame.

When you pull it open, it "flips" and you see the back of the frame.  I added a smaller frame which I die cut from white and stamped with text.  I inked the edges and added a punched flower.

I remember making these several years ago but back then they were difficult to cut so it folded evenly.  The die cut makes it a cinch, especially since it scores the folding lines.  It's a little bit of magic.
