hues of happiness front flip card

This front flip card is super simple and a fun take on just a regular card.

This Hues of Happiness DSP (#158822) is gorgeous and will be retiring with this Annual Catalog so if it is one of your favorites too make sure to order it soon before it sells out. My current Hostess Code is R9AWXX7K

This card starts out like an ordinary card with a base of 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ but with a few simple cuts and adhesive it takes it to an easy next level card!

Measurements:
Mambo Melon: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White: scrap strip for the sentiment
3 1/4″ x 4″ for the inside
DSP: 1″ x 4″ (2), 3 1/4″ x 4″ (1)

Cut from the score line to the bottom edge at 1 1/4″ in from both outside edges.

Adhere the 1″ strip to the left hand 1 1/4″ strip leaving 1/8″ border around the entire DSP piece.

Adhere the 1 1/4″ piece of card on the right side to the card base.

Stamp the Flower from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Mambo melon ink to the lower left hand corner of the 3 1/4″ x 4″ Basic White piece of cardstock. Adhere to the inside of the card base.
