    Firecracker Flip Fold Happy 4th of July and

    As I promised here are the Fourth of July cards. Oh, and Happy 4th of July to everyone who celebrates our Nations birthday.  This first card is a take on the flip fold I did at the end of June.  I used some patriotic colors and stamped an image of firecrackers and colored the image in using copic markers.  There is glitter on the flames and outer yellow part but I could not get that part to show up in the photo.   I was going to add USA on the bottom but then thought this could be used for a birthday card so I left it blank.

    Happy July 4th

    Lighthouse Flip Fold card

    Here is an easy card to make, which looks hard.  Great card for a male or summertime birthday.  What you actually do to create this card is cut into one of the corners and literally flip the paper over.  I used watercolors to color the image and die cut the anchor and roping around the lighthouse.  Check it out!

    Father’s Day Grill in a box

    I had fun making this card for my hubby (giggle, giggle).  I turned the card in a box into a BBQ grill in a box.  Yes I no some of the things are not proportionate but it did get the theme across.  Here are three different angles of the card.
