Mom's Slimline Lift Flap Card

Today for your viewing pleasure, I created a Mother's Day card.  I am featuring the new Lift Flaps Stitched Rectangle Slimline die. It is a 5 piece die set. 

Since we are having a sale on most dies, I thought I would select one to use with the Lifts Flaps die.  I used the Flowers for Mom die from an older Mother's Day release. And, and it's currently on sale for 40% off.  

So let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

I started off by cutting my light purple cardstock with the double stitched rectangle die that is included in this set. I use a Big Shot machine and you do need the extended platform for the slimline dies. 

Next, I laid the lift flaps die on the rectangle I just cut, Secured it with tape and ran it back through the Big Shot. 

I didn't want the flaps to be empty so I decided to stencil some flowers on the 2 end flaps. This stencil was so small and even though I covered the edges, I did manage to get a bit of the violet ink in the corner. Not to worry because  I was going to use enamel dots, and it will cover it.

 

Now I am ready to cut the bouquets of flowers that will go under the flap. I used different colors of cardstock for the vases, teapot, flowers and leaves. 

 

I adhered the vases under the flaps with a combo of double sided tape and Ranger multi medium matte adhesive. 

I adhered the image panel to a white card base. Finished base size is 8" x  3". I cut my card stock at 8" x 6" and then scored at the 3" mark. 

To finish off my card I added the "Mom" phrase cut in a grape cardstock. It's from the 2018 Mom w/heart die. I scattered a couple of grape hearts and a few enamel dots. 

That's it for me for this post. I will be back on Monday with another card using these new Slimline basic dies.
