Hedgehog Flip Flap Shutter Birthday Card

This Flip Flap Shutter fun fold card was super fun to make. First I want to let you know that I followed Dawn Griffiths tutorial, which you will find at dawnsstampingthoughts.net 

I have seen a number of 5" x 7" tutorials for this fun fold, but I wanted one that would fit in a regular UK C6 size envelope, which Dawn's does. This card measures 4 1/8" x 5 7/8".

The stamp set is the adorable Happy Hedgehogs and I also used the coordinating Hedgehog Builder Punch, sold separately. All stamping was done in Soft Suede, except for the grass which was Granny Apple Green. I did all the colouring using Stampin' Blends. The greetings came from various other sets which I have listed below. 

I used my Stamparatus to mirror stamp the larger hedgehog so that I could adhere them back-to-back on the first 'shutter'.

Wild & Sweet Birthday Cards

Who loves pandas and koalas? ME! The Wild & Sweet stamp set, which will available in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue from 3 May, was the first to pop into my pre-order basket. 

As this is a large stamp I used my Stamparatus to be sure of getting a perfect impression.  This one was stamped in Basic Gray and further below you'll see one I stamped in Tuxedo Black.

All supplies used are listed below. Thanks for stopping by x

The koala was stamped in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake card and layered on Early Espresso. I used Thick Very Vanilla for the card base and tag.

The top panda in the image below was stamped in Basic Gray on Basic White card, and then layered on Basic Gray. I used Smoky Slate for the card base. The bottom image was stamped in Tuxedo Black on Basic White card and layered on Basic Black. I used Thick Basic White for the card base.

Birdhouse Birthday Card

I have to thank Jennifer McGuire for inspiring me to make these awesome slimline birdhouse cards - a link to her video is below. Of course I only used Stampin' Up! products to make my cards. I have listed everything I used below and although most are retiring at the of this month it's easy enough to substitute other stamp sets and dies. 

These slimline cards fit in a regular UK DL envelope (4 1/4/" x 8 5/8" - 11 cm x 22 cm).  Once I made my template it was easy to get a production line going - I have made six so far.

Thanks for stopping by x
