Welcome to the May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! Each month I participate in a Stamp of the Month Blog Hop that features the special stamp that is only available that month. Using the links provided, you hop from blog to blog viewing over 50 ideas using that stamp set. If you came here from Krista Ritskes' Blog then you are on the right track. You will find the next link at the end of this post. If you get lost along the way then you can go to Kathleen's Blog for the entire list of participants. Now onto my card:
My upline, Linda Roberts, sent me a similar card for my birthday and I thought it was perfect for the blog hop! Thanks Linda! I've made the Flip Flap card before, but I love how the button holds the flap down!

- Now it's time to put it all together!
- Take the largest piece of Cocoa cardstock and crease the fold where you scored. The fold should be on the left side
- Attach the patchwork/squared background paper inside the Cocoa card
- Attach the pink patterned paper to the outside/left flap
- Take the Olive piece of cardstock and fold in half
- Attach the Olive piece on top of the patchwork/squared pattern paper to the right with the fold of the Olive cardstock on the right
- The front of the Olive piece should be on the outside of the Cocoa/Pink flap of the card

- Adhere the Colonial White circle to the Smoothie circle and attach those using Foam Tape to the top of the card
- Add a Cocoa knotted ribbon near the top/right of the circle using a glue dot
- For the Canvas button - Peel the backing off and cut the backing in half. Replace half of the backing and attach it to the bottom/left of the card. You want the Olive cardstock flap to be able the slide under part of the button to secure it, but easily slide out so the card can open.
- Done! Let me know if you have any questions!
