TSOL: You Blow Me Away!

Hello! Today I want to share a card using the newly released bubblegum4me from The Stamps Of Life.  I LOVE gum, so this may be one of my favorite sets to date! Love the sentiments, too!  I used one of Stephanie's circle Flip-it dies from Sizzix to create this card.  Flip-it cards are so much fun.  I used to try to make a similiar version many moons ago using a kraft knife.  One pass through my Big Kick and voila'! Done!  You can order these through Stephanie's site and get a great discount if you are a club member.  They are also available at Hobby Lobby! I saw them there last night. :)
The first photo shows the front or closed version of the Flip-it card.  I used some glossy accents on my bubblegum balls and colored the machine with copic markers.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye.

This shows the card when open.  I stamped the 5 cents in Antique Linen distress ink to create the background.  The sentiment was stamped on a punched circle of matching patterned paper.  I plan on giving this to my little sis.  She is performing in a local production of Seusical The Musical soon.  I thought this would be great to give to her with a bag of gum goodies before the show.  She could share some of her loot with the rest of the cast and her girls after the show!

Thanks for stopping by!

TSOL: Buzzing by...

Hi, there!  Today I have a Flip-It card to share with you using new stamps from The Stamps Of Life.  I love the Flip-It dies created by Stephanie Barnard for Sizzix.  They are so much fun, and kids of all ages love opening them.  I always have a hard time keeping my boys away from them if I had made one and leave it sitting on my desk!
I used two sets on this card-bee4me and hive4bees.  I pieced the bees onto the blue card base, and then added glossy accents to their wings.  The floral paper is by Crate Paper, and the twine is from The Twinery.  I also used a SU corner punch for the corner pieces on both sides.
I always have a difficult time photographing these cards, so you can see how neat they are!  Below you can find them open on both sides.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!
