At this past weekend's Raleigh Techniques club our lovely hostess Jan requested that one of the cards be an Easter Card so of course I thought immediately of the Spring Sampler stamp set. It has so many cute images that are perfect for cards, scrapbook pages, box decorations and many other uses.
And here's the card I created for the club members to make:
Now this may look like an ordinary card but ....nope! See where the "Happy Easter" phrase is on the card front? That's the actual opening and the polka dot paper is on the inside of the card! I learned this fun card technique from one of my downline. Kristin invented this idea on a completely different project and I adapted her idea here.
The phrase (from the Wacky Wishes hostess set) uses two Stampin' Dimensionals stacked on top of each other and is only attached to the card on the right hand side - to the polka dot paper. The left side of the phrase is not attached to the card at all and it holds the "egg" piece closed. You gently lift on the left side of the phrase to open up the card!
Jan loved the idea and I have a feeling the club members are going to make lots of cards like this one using the Spring Sampler stamp set for lots of different occasion cards.
Would you and your friends like to form a Techniques club too? Contact me to learn how and why you should do so!
