TLC272 ~Flip Flop Cards~ (05/10/10)

[Toy]

Hello Friends!

I hope you all have a wonderful day! It seems like the majority of the moms in our little court got flowers for Mother's Day as they were all out this afternoon planting. There are only 10 houses on our court and it looks so pretty when you drive in with all the fresh mowed lawns and flowers.

~ Flip Flop Cards ~

This challenge came as a suggestion from Bensarmom (Sue). I know it was done a while back for a VSN challenge, but never for the TLC. There are several youtube videos on how to make the cuts, but I found Beate's tutorial here on SCS to be the best an most thorough. You can find Beate's tutorial HERE.

Keep in mind these things...

• Measure twice, cut once
• Be patient
• Photograph from two angles (best way to see the whole card)

Here is my sample:

~ Life's A Picnic ~

Remember, when you are uploading your card to use KEYWORD TLC272 (no space).

You can find the entire TLC272 gallery HERE.

Go forth and create!

Thanks Holly, sounds like fun! That is is the same advice my sewing teacher gave "Measure twice, cut once"!

[lorettal]

Cool challenge, holly! I haven't done this type of card before and it looks like fun!

[vdutchr]

Not decorated too much, but this was my first try - different type of card for sure.

[Vicky Gould]

I thought this would be more difficult than it was. Thanks for the push to try something new, Holly!

LOL, I saw the title and thought the challenge would be to use images or ide cuts of 'flip flops' - LOL!

[NANCYRUTH]

[marilynprestonn]

Hello everyone! I just had to give this one a try, so please have yourself a great chuckle okay! I am.

Holly, I am sorry, but I did not honour your talent at all

[Bailmac]

Hahahahaha. I was thinking the same thing! We are gonna have a bunch of flip/flop cards in the gallery???? Thongs? Ok, sorry. It is Monday!

[Cook22]

Oh - these are such fun and I don't do them often enough.
After housework-lite last week I really have to do a proper job this week, but I hope to get time after that.

[hobbydujour]

Great challenge, Holly! The title really threw me off....but I LOVE what it turned out to be! Beate's tutorial is SUPER! Thanks.

This is a cool tutorial on swing cards, that I found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEnUVHMZr0M

[MariLynn]

If I can ever upload I'll share mine. I've tried like 5 times. Anyone else having troubles today?

[heavensent]

After my first one ended up in the garbage, I was happy with this one ...

It was hard to get a good photo with a rainy overcast sky, but here is my card:

Golden Birthday
I'm like MariLynn, hard to get a decent photo because it's 8.30 pm here, and a cloudy, overcast day.

[ChristineCreations]

Thanks Holly ;) I don't think I had tried one of these before, and it was fun!

So how cool is this? You all have such amazing ways of pushing enough to get us to develop new skills in crafting, but not so much that we each blow a gasket in frustration! Thanks!

This really was a challenge!!! This was the first time I'd seen one of these types of cards, so I really had to work my brain cells. TFL!

I love different shaped cards so couldn't resist this challenge.
Really wanted to play with the Autumn traditions DSP I just got and have a brother-in-laws birthday in a couple of days, here (Australia) it is Autumn so it seemed like a good place to start.
Very pleased with how this came up and will be doing this type of card again. Thanks for the challenge!
