Up for a Kick Stand Card?

What you are about to see is a new card layout I came up with the other day in the car, on my way to church. I thought that it would be fun layout to play with, and it was. I call it my Kick Stand Card. ;) You can make the "kick stand" with any of the big punches, or create your own size, like I did here. (The card I'm posting tomorrow used the Marvy Oval Scallop Giga Punch.) This is the closed card.

As you can see, the PP on the inside of the card is visible on the front. However, the next one that I make will have more of a contrast between the inside and out, I think. Also, I probably could have gotten a better picture of the standing card, but you can see that the scalloped rectangle holds up the card when in a standing position, like a "kick stand"! This is the (obviously ;)) open view of the card. I used some more of the pieces of Hot Stuff and It's Elemental to create a place to sign the card.

The cups on the front are paper pieced, and I used the new blue rhinestone brads (SU!) to create the cup hooks.

I hope that you like it, because I have more coming! Hopefully, they'll only get better! This is a great card to use that really wide ribbon and patterned paper you've been hording! {You know you have some, and if you don't...why the heck not??? (grin)} All you do is cut off the bottom 1 1/4 inches from the end of the folded card. Then use Sticky Strip to adhere the "kick stand" to the card bottom. And (at the risk of sounding cheesy) have fun! :)

xox,
