April Play Day Cards

For our April Play Day, we made cards for the ladies in our lives, Mothers, Sisters, and Friends!  Here are our projects:

This card was greatly inspired by a beautiful card by abstampin on Splitcoast Stampers.  My recipe is:

PROJECT THREE:


Project Three was a Swing or Flip Flop Card, which we made as a Mother's Day Card.  I really liked the way that this project turned out!  The flowers were stamped twice, watercolored, cut out, and popped up with dimensionals.  Here is the other side of it:



I think the double sided card is extra neat, and I love the way that it stands up!  I followed the excellent tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers to make this card.  My recipe for this card is:
