STAMPING IN MAY...

At the Saturday morning April STAMP FEST, several of the stampers began looking through some of my old sample cards, and picked out a few of their favorites. I asked if there were any they would like to make at the May Stamp Fest, and they chose these...

This is an old design, but brand new to new stampers...

This is an all time favorite... I told the girls we couldn't make it because I didn't have any of the little hangers. One of the girls told me she would shop until she found them... So she did!! (Thanks, Jacki)...

You can slip a mini card into the front pocket on this card...

...like this...

The scalloped circle folds over to the backside of this pretty card...

This stamp set has long since retired, but new gals chose it...

There were oohs and aahs over this one...

It is made from cardstock (11" x 5-1/2") and opens like this...

. . . . . . .

There will be a total of 16 cards to choose from in May...

Two years ago (April 14, 2014), I posted a card that has been pinned around the world thousands of times. I didn't know it would be so loved. At the time I made a simple one-sheet diagram, but as it turned out, many people couldn't follow my meager sketch. This is the original card. I will call it CURVY GATEFOLD ONE...

Today, after too long of a delay, I started over, making a new card and better instructions. I will call this CURVY GATEFOLD TWO...

This is how it looks when closed...

...and when opened all the way...

(I hope this tutorial is easier to follow than the other)
