All My Love Flip Card by Lis Whiting

Create Your Card Base:

Fold an 8 ½ x 11 cream piece of cardstock in half to create your card (5 ½ x 8 ½).  Glue on a piece of dark blue Stardream cardstock 5x8 and a piece of gold glossy on that 4 ¾ x 7 ¾.  Cut a piece of cardstock (light green) 4 ½ x 7 ½. Using ochre [Marvy], stamp with the Rose & Butterfly stamp [Tin Can Mail] onto cardstock.  Fill in spaces with All You Need is Love stamp [Stampington].  Glue this to the card.

Create the Base for Your Flip Card:

You will need two pieces of cardstock: 1 strip 1 x 4 ½ & 1 piece 1 ½ x 12.

Take the piece of cardstock and score at 1 ¾, 2 ½, 3 ¼, 4, 4 ¾   (each score is 3/4 inch apart). Fold along the scored lines, making valley folds (do not make accordion folds).  To make sure that your scored lines are well folded, burnish them with a bone folder. Lay the piece flat with the valley folds up.  Stamp the unscored end using the same pattern as the card.

Take the strip and score lines at 1 ½ and 3 inches. Fold (valley folds) and burnish. Turn the strip over and stamp using the same pattern as the card.

Turn the piece around so that the scored side is closest to you.  Take the strip and place glue or glue dots in the center of the center section only.  Take the longer piece and glue the end down flush with the edge of the center of the strip. Fold the sides of the strip over and glue them down to each other (not to the piece).

Slide the unscored side of the piece under the strip that you just glued together.

When you turn it over you should see the following:

Create the “Flip” Pieces:

Cut out eight hearts, four each of two sizes (one will mat the other). Use light pink for the small heart and dark pink for the large heart.  I used dies Heart #2 and Hearts (largest on the die) [Sizzix]. Outline the larger heart in gold pen.  Stamp All You Need is Love on the smaller heart.  Glue the hearts together to create four double hearts.   Attach brass charms to hearts (I used a rose, cupid, Victorian heart and a love letter.)

Attaching the Hearts to the Flip base:

Take one heart and glue it to the lowest panel between two scored lines (see diagram above). Do not glue on the score lines.  The score lines are needed to make the hearts flip up.  Position the heart high enough to hide the score line above but also leaving space for the next heart to be glued.  Glue all four hearts onto the piece being careful not to glue them on the score lines.  Also, do not position hearts where they will be above the next score line.

Putting it all together:

Center your finished heart flip piece to the card base and attach with glue.  Use only the back of the strip to glue to card. Trim the Pull Tab, punch two holes (horizontally) and add ribbon.  Tie in a bow.
