Oval Fun Fold Card

Hello my friends!

Here's another card in my Flip Flap Card series.

Isn't this little dino a cutie?!

He's from a Close To My Heart stamp set 

called Dino-mite Birthday.

I colored him with Stampin' Up stampin' blend markers.

Cardstock and pattern papers also from SU.

Lots of space to write or stamp a sweet message on the inside.

It's a great way to use up some scrap pieces

of pattern papers and cardstock.

And of course it mails flat with no extra postage.

That's always nice.

I cut out several of Lori Whitlock's Flip Flap cards, 

but I didn't cut the card bases - just the decorative pieces.

A while back I found a way to make these cards

in a much simpler way. Is simpler a word? It is now.

Instead of cutting out the card base

 (which is confusing to me to figure out which way it folds),

I fold a regular A2 size card, 

then fold the front cover back onto itself.

I add the card decorative pieces

only attaching the center overlapping piece

on the left of the folded front cover.

I'm telling you - it's so much less frustrating and easier this way!

Big hugs to you all!

:) Janis
