Give Thanks Flip Card


It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and today I'm sharing another card made with Sam Calcott's 'Flip Mechanism'. It actually creates two frames but in her tutorial she shared that you could use just one if you wanted and that is what I did here. I love getting more looks from a single die set!


Because I used the same patterned paper for both the background and the frame, this card doesn't look like much in the above photo. But the pull frame lifts away from the card front to reveal a sentiment! This shows up much better in real life.


Every year I pull out this patterned paper pad, use a few sheets on my cards then back it goes for another year. So it's taking a LONG time to use it up, ha ha. Both of the cut aparts on the card front are included in the paper pad and I also pulled out some OLD stickers from my stash to decorate the front.


Here is a look at the inside. I have had these rub-ons for YEARS ... they were originally from Stampin' Up's clearance rack so I thought it was time to use them. They came with two sheets,  one in brown and one in white, so I added the white rub ons to the envelope. 


I loved being able to use up so many items from my Thanksgiving Card Bin on this card!

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or projecSamt and below is my tally.
