Fancy Fold Blog Hop - April 2025
I made this fun "Flip Flap" card using the new Sunrise Sailing Bundle that will be released in on May 6th as an Online Exclusive! It's perfect for any occasion! My husband and I owned a 34 foot sailboat for 14 years so I knew as soon as I saw this bundle I had to have it!
Isn't this a fun card in the new Cloud Cover and Secret Sea In Colors.
If you love this bundle, check out the Your Creativity Awaits Kit for May - it features the stamp set and dies! So fun! More information here.
