A friend and I were trying to figure out this fold that we saw on Pinterest.  It’s really 2 cards – one cut 5.5 x 8.5 and the other cut 5 1/4 x 4.  I used Cool Kids (because it hasn’t seen as much ink as it should!) and Peachy Keen to make the background design.  To make the “cut” on the front I marked the open side at 2 3/4 and then the top and bottom at 2 3/4.  Once this was cut, I die cut the opening with a Square Framelit. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Cool Kids, Peachy Keen, Yippee-Skippee
Cardstock – Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Ink – Jet black Stazon, Melon Mambo
Etc – Distressed Dots embossing fold, Sqaure Framelit, Neutral Button

I may go back and put a paper airplane on the front too.  Kind of looks like the poor kitty is playing with string!  Hugs, Fran

The Cool Kids set is perfect for kids of any age!  I paired it up with Karen Burniston’s Pop It Up Circle Accordion Framelit and matching Edges framelits and the colors in the Kaleidoscope Designer Series paper and came up with a card to celebrate the fun of being a kid.  The front has the cat embossed with black embossing powder and fussy cut.  To do the “awesome” I stamped it three times – Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay – and cut it apart.  (You could do this part with Stampin Write Markers)

So on the front the cat has a kite – that magically changes into a paper airplane on the inside.  (!)  Ta-da!


In the center I accented the sentiment with Candy Dots – love them!  And the pup is also embossed in black. This card style can hold a lot “stuff” but I try to be careful with the layers and touch each other.
