deck the hills with ploughs & ollies

Hey everybody! A big ol’ Happy Thursday to you all! I’ve popped in today with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the NEW Ski Resort Collection! OMGoodness, I bet you could hear me squealing all the way where you live, lol! This is a FABulous collection to say the least! Use code SKI10 for 10% off your Ski Resort order! I created several awesome projects with this collection and the first one we’re sharing is a super fun pull tab flip card! My inspiration came from Aubrey over at the StampingJill YouTube Channel HERE via my friend, Debbie. It’s really a pretty easy fold despite it’s complex look!

I cut the base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and one layering panel along with flip card layers from 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the Sweater Background on the layering panel and then stamped the sentiment and images from the Deck The Hills Collection Stamps on 80# Solar White as well, colored the images with alcohol markers and cut them all with the coordinating Deck The Hills Outline Dies. The other layering panel was cut from a pattern in the Collection Pack with the Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies.

I cut a half circle at the bottom of the card using the Stitched Circles Nested Dies. I embellished the inside of the flip card with die cuts from the Sentiments Die Cut Pieces and the Scenery Die Cut Pieces. I used some Back To Basics Royal Ribbon on the pull tab. This was definitely a fun one and packs a punch for the recipient!
