Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I am really excited today to share my first “flip” card with you!  I finally got to sit down and create a card using the new *Thinlits Card Dies!  I was all prepared to spend “some time” in my stampin’ room, but found that it was quite easy to create!

I began with the “Circle card Thinlits Die and “Basic Gray” Cardstock …

Then I added my “go to” Designer Series Paper … the “Birthday Basics”.   I find this paper so easy to use, and it works so well for any age group. 

Since I have decided to create a “special” card … I wanted to choose a special stamp set.  The “TAG IT” stamp set is very special as it is this years exclusively designed “Ronald McDonald House Charities” stamp set.  For each stamp set that is sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to the RMHC.

I am trying to sell 100 of these sets …  It’s not a contest – I just wanted to see if we (you and I) could raise $300.  Together … in the past 10 years, we (you, me… demonstrators and Stampin’ Up!) have raised well over a million dollars for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Will you help us this year  … All you need to do is purchase this stamp set.  It helps families of critically ill children stay together while the child is being treated.

Don’t you think this is a wonderful combination so far?  Me too!  I will be posting more cards featuring  the “Tag It” stamp set in the future.  You’ll soon see how fun and versatile this stamp set is.

I think you could use this card for anyone … my granddaughter loved it!  I think she watched the card flip back and forth for about 5 minutes.  Hmmm… free entertainment!  When you run the cardstock through the BigShot with the die … it cut and scores for you!  The 2-1/2″ punch works perfectly for your greetings.  Now … let’s go to the flip side!

I used the “Yippee Skippee” (page 37) Stamp set for my flip side, and just used my markers to create that multi-colored greeting.  I thought it finished off my card nicely.  Here is the list of ingredients to the card I have made for you today.

Please consider purchasing the “Tag It” stamp set and help us raise money and awareness for such a wonderful cause.

Hope you enjoyed today’s post … feel free to leave a comment.

 Have a fabulous day!
