Mother's Day Inside Wiper Card

Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all have plans to spend the day with those special women in your life. Hubby & I both lost our moms years ago. :(  However, we have a very special woman in our lives that is just like a mom to us. 
Meet Barb.
She is one special lady! She loves our furkids just like they were her own and she takes great care of them for us when we're out of town. Barb & I do a lot of things together, from grocery shopping to dancing. She's always a willing participant to join me in whatever endeavor I'm doing. I love her dearly.

So, I made a special card just for her. 

 It has an interactive element.
 The heart pops out from behind the sentiment panel.
 I call it an Inside Wiper Card. 
e
The video isn't the greatest. It's hard to hold the phone camera with one hand and open the card with the other, but you get the idea ;) LOL!


But Barry & Jay from mitosucrafts (the ones I got the idea from) call it a Spinner Pop Up card. You can see their version HERE.

I love these interactive cards. This is the third one I've made, but I see a few more in my future, LOL! Once you get the mechanism down, they're pretty easy to reproduce. 

That's it for today! I hope you enjoy this Mother's Day and as always, 

~Happy Stamping!~

Fabulous Flamingo for the May Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle

Hello There and welcome to the Stray Ducklings monthly Blog Waddle! Feathers are really flying this month as we feature retiring items. I chose to use the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set. I bought it a couple of months ago and hadn't used it yet! That Flamingo is so pretty! Pairing it with the Tropical Chic Designer Series Paper topped it off perfectly.


I added some Wink of Stella to the Flamingo and Viola! Done :) 

And there's still room to write inside on the back of the front section. 
Don't miss out on this beautiful stamp set. Order yours today by clicking on the picture below.

Tuck Card

Happy Weekend To You!!! 
I think it's going to finally be dry here in Illinois for a day which means I'll be mowing our little farmette all afternoon. Our small horse paddock where I do my arena riding looks like it needs baled right now 😮 It's suppose to rain all week next week too 😒 

Now for today's card. I used the Darling Label Punch Bundle and the Neutrals Designer Series Paper. I colored the design using my ink pads and our Blending Pen then topped the image off with some metallic pearls. 
I CASEd the design from France Martin at frenchiestamps.com, but I changed the colors and the corner that the card front tucks in. 

The cardstock is Fresh Fig (a retiring color) and I used the Layering Leaves embossing folder on the corner piece. 
It's a cute & fun plus who doesn't love creative folds? They're the whole reason I got so involved with card making.

That's it for me today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 
~Happy Stamping!~
