Flip-n-Fold Birthday Card

 
     Today I have a flip-n-fold card for you. My first. I've been seeing these cards around the web and wanted to give them a try.
     I first stamped the daffodils (Gina K Designs) and colored them with pencils (PrismaColor). Then, I die cut the labels and card base (Divinity Designs). Using the same yellow cardstock, I die cut two lattice panels (Divinity Designs). I trimmed their facing edges along the label edges. That was much easier to do than it might look.
     I added a fancy filigree die cut that is actually the top part of a tree (Spellbinders) that I think looks fancy and perfect for this card. I added a sentiment tag to finish it off.
     I had tons of fun creating this card and will make more!
 
Designer Tip: I save all the die cuts I make that don't turn out perfect. Then, I use them on cards like this one where I used the top of a tree die.
 
Designer Tip: When I die cut intricate shapes such as the tree on this card, I lay a piece of wax paper between the die and the cardstock. The die cuts pop right out with no bending or tearing.
 
     Enjoy your day and thank so much for stopping in!

This is a beautiful card Pamela and thanks for the tips you shared as well.
Side note: If I am not mistaken I believe my daughter told me about your book- A Deliberate Life, a few years back and said I should read it. I didn't realize it was written by one of the card bloggers that I follow. How interesting...
