Hello Friend Flip Card

Happy April, friends!  Today I'm sharing a flip style card using older papers & ephemera and a die set by Sam Calcott (Mixed Up Crafts). The die set actually cuts two flip frames and fits perfectly on a 7 x 5" card, but this one is an A2 sized card and a single one works great on this size of card.

I likely wouldn't have thought to alter the die cut frame to be a single, but in Sam's assembly video (linked below) she shared that it would work and I have done it a couple of times now. I love that it makes this die set more versatile.

The chipboard elements are ones I have had for several years, having ordered them by mistake. Well I ordered them by choice but didn't read the description carefully enough - I don't find that chipboard elements make a card very mailable so I tend not to use them. For these ones, I peeled off several layers from the back and that made them much flatter - thus mailable. This card will mail for a single stamp!

You can have the frame pull to the left or to the right, for this card I have it pulling to the right. I added the PULL on a scalloped circle die and below is what you see when you pull that frame.

Here is a peek at the inside where there is lots of room to write a personal message.
