Pressed Flower Inspiration
I love flowers and I love spring. One of my favorite things to do is collect and press the pretty flowers in my yard and surrounding area. So I thought'd I'd do a pressed flower/stampin up mashup :)
I placed the flowers in the pages of a large book, sandwiched it between more large books, and let dry for 2 weeks. I glued the flowers to the paper with Aleene's Tacky glue and then covered with Crystal Effects to protect it.
The paper that the pressed flowers are matted on is homemade paper as well. So pressed flower glued to homemade paper, accented with honeycomb embossing folder, banner blast, and say it with scripture sets. The inside of the card has the rest of the Matthew 19:26 stamp - With God all things are possible.

Flip Card Instructions
To make a flip flop or swing card:
Take 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of card stock. Score at 4 1/4" and at 2 1/8". Center your die or framelit of choice on the 2 1/8" score mark. Place your plate so that you only cut the half of your die closest to the edge of the paper. Fold in half at 4 1/4" score, and again at 2 1/8" score. Cut out two more of each framelit, decorate, and glue to either side of flip.

Dress Up Flip Card
I missed the original Flip Card craze - so this was my first one. What fun!
To make the card, start with 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" cardstock. Score at 4 1/4" and again at 2 1/8". Center framelit on 2 1/8" score line and cut only half of the framelit (see below). Fold card in half and run through big shot with Moden Mosaic EF. Cut Dress Up framelit 4x - two in Pool Party and two in Basic Gray; emboss with square lattice. Fold at 2 1/8" score line. Cut gray piece and glue to pool party piece. Glue one completed dress to each side of flip.
To make the flower rosette, I punch 7/8" scallop cirlce out of Square Lattice embossed piece of Pool Party. Cut in a spiral and then beginning at the outer spiral edge, rolled the flower. Secured bottom with a glue dot.

I colored the large sunflower stamp with real red, cherry cobbler, cool cantaloupe; misted lightly with water and then stamped onto whisper white. Colored middle with crushed curry. Stamped flourish from everything eleanor set and sentiment. Added a few random rhinestones (some to cover the smeared black ink!). Colored around the sunflower with sahara sand marker.

This card originally started out to be a "magic card" I saw on Pinterest. But mine didn't turn out as pretty! So I already had the acetate stamped with the fox in Stazon, and the white piece behind stamped with the fox, but colored. So I decided to go ahead and layer them for an added dimension - even though I don't think you can see in the photo.
