Just having fun

I have been so inspired by cards I've seen online (especially on the Stampin' Up demonstrator website) that I combined two techniques into one card (backwards-opening card and the poppy breaking through the framelit die). The card below was made for my friend (and downline), Ryn.  It's a backward-opening card.  I used the Pleasant Poppies stamp set on the front.  I let one flower burst through the cut of the framelit die, as you can see.  I first saw it done by another Stampin' Up demonstrator, Brian King (stampwithbrian.com).

Below is a close-up of the flower. 

When you open the card, below is what you see.

You then open the card again to get to the center.  It opens backwards from a regular card.  The Woohoo! stamp I used is from the Cuddles & Kisses stamp set in the spring catalog.  I used Woohoo! because Ryn just promoted to Sr. Associate.

I stamped the poppies on the envelope, too, and wrapped the design around the back of the envelope.  I've been wrapping the design around the envelopes lately and love the look it gives to the envelope.

Here is the back of the envelope so you can see the design I stamped is wrapped around it.

Hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been working on this week.
