Floral Flap Card and More

Goodness Me ... it's Thursday already and I've no idea where the week is going, I just know it's going faster than I can keep up with. But maybe that's more something to do with me being on a 'Go Slow' LOL!

I have managed a few new cards again this week so take a look and hope you like them.

The first one is another Flap Card ...totally different from the Dilly Dolly one I made previously because it is more of an envelope style and uses a magnetic handbag clasp for the closure.















I then decided to get adventurous and try my hand at a Double Flap Card and this time I have used ribbon for the closure.
















I am actually quite pleased with the overall look of the finished card but really wish I'd been more patient and hadn't smudged the ink as it now looks dirty ... grrrrr ... hey ho!
Never mind ... at least you can get the gist of what I wanted to achieve.

Dilly Dolly Flap Card

April's Challenge from the MSN group I belong to, is to make a 'Flap Card' ... a little card that has a flap closure ... so I had a go and came up wih this little Dolly Card.

The daisy paper is from a Papermania Collossal Stack and I combined it with dark purple handmade paper. The pretty little dolly was one of a pack I picked up in our local pound shop ... just because they were pretty. I knew they would come in handy one day LOL! She can be removed and saved as a keepsake.

Inside, I matted more of the daisy paper onto silver mirri board and tied a ribbon as decoration ... and the lower portion has a self adhesive birthday greeting on plain lilac paper mounted onto silver mirri board.

The flap closure is secured with velcro as I didn't have mini magnets to hand. Not decided if I will enter this one or try again and see if I can do something better. What do you think?
