Life is Good

Hey y’all, happy Tuesday! It is indeed a very happy Tuesday for Ed and I… we’ve been keeping a secret and we can now let the cat out of the bag, lol! We closed on a house in Iowa yesterday. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the last eight years we’ve been in Colorado, but as old folks on social security, we need to be in a more affordable location to spend our remaining years. Plus we’ll be closer to family, so it’s a win-win! Now, let me share this fun center flap card I created for Keep It Simple using papers and die cut pieces from our new Wander collection. This is one of the easiest fun folds ever and I totally love how it turned out. It’s very similar to all the front flap card folds I’ve made over the years but it’s made with one piece of cardstock rather than two.

I cut the 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base from CutCardStock Basis Black and scored it at 4-1/4″. I put the cardstock in my paper trimmer with the 5-1/2″ edge across the top. I measured 1-1/4″ inward from the left edge and cut from the top edge down to the score line, and then repeated the process on the other side. I applied glue to the underside of the two narrow flaps and pressed them down, leaving the center flap loose. I used papers and die cuts from our Wander collection, along with our Lemon enamel dots and some Love From Lizi gold pinstripe peel-off stickers to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a paper strip and more die cuts. Seriously, this card couldn’t be easier – you have to give it a try! ;)
