Welcome back for day 4 of the May Papertrey Ink countdown. I have two cards to share with you today using one of my new sets, Flipping Out. I'll have more projects for you tomorrow, the last day of the countdown, using both Heart-2-Heart #4 and Flipping Out.
**Both sets will be available starting May 15th on the Papertrey Ink website**
First up is a plateful of more colorful, die cut flip flops. All assembled and ready for my cards.
For this first card I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock and attaching a few of my flip flops. Next, I stamped one of the sentiments, Enjoy your vacation!, in True Black. A strip of glitter was added to the top to give it a little sparkle.
Lastly, I added some black and white plaid ribbon which I purchased right HERE and a Papertrey Ink Simply Chartreuse button.
For this second card I started by adding a strip of Lemon Tart cardstock along the side of my Kraft card base. I stamped my sentiment, Life is better in flip flops! on a strip of white cardstock and attached it to the top of my card.
My doily and flip flops were added and then some twine, more ribbon and another button.
Keeping it short and sweet for today but these ladies have projects to share so be sure to pop on over to say hi...
I want to thank each one of you for taking the time to visit and want to also wish all of you Moms a wonderful and happy Mother's day!!
hugs,
Enjoy your vacation!
