Pick-Your-Present Lift the Flap Birthday Card + Video!

Hello there friends, 

Today I have a fun birthday card going to a young and new cardmaker. My friend's daughter started cardmaking this summer and has loved it! Her mom shared the "Wish list" of things she would like for her birthday much of it being crafty supplies! So for this birthday card, I decided to make it fun and interactive by making it a pick your present. Whichever flap she chooses to lift, will reveal a stamp company. She will be able to pick any stamp set she wants from that company & I will gift it to her.

Here's the card:

Which present will she choose? The blue or the pink???

Now let's reveal those flaps:

If she chooses the flap on te left, she'll get a Lawn Fawn stamp. If she chooses the one on the right, she'll get her choice of a Mama Elephant stamp. 😍

Here's a peek of the innies:

Thanks so much for popping in to my little corner of the crafty world.

Until next time....

Beach Week in Review + 3 Videos!

Hello there friends, I had a Beach week on my YouTube Channel recently and it was great getting to create several cards using beach-themed stamps from my stash. I created a simpler card and a stepped up card with an interactive feature!

Day 1 features the Gina K Ocean-Minded Stamp set

The larger card has a pop-up Adirondak chair. So fun!

Here's the video if you'd like to see how these cards came together.

Day 2 features the Hero Arts Color Layering Waves and Color Layering Sea & Sky stamp sets.

This set features a slimline card and a pop-up box card!

Here's the video, if you're interested

Day 3 features the Hero Arts Beach Heroscapes Stamp set.

For these cards, I created a one layer card, A interactive window card with an awesome brick technique I saw Vickie from Clips and Cuts do. I loved the way that came out! The third was another pop-up card this time with a pop-up beach ball.

Here's the video if you'd like to check these out:

Note: The Pop-Up dies I used are retired---I know, I know...BUT there are some updated dies available that are actually easier to put together that the ones I have and they are wafer dies, not the Bigz dies I have. You can check them out here ---> Adirondak Chair,  Surprise Ball.

Hope you're well and staying safe.

Until next time...
