It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Peek-a-boo cards”.  We are showing different varieties of Peek-a-boo cards this week!  I recently did this style of card using Softly Sophisticated stamp set for a class but thought it would be great to use for my Simply Zinnia stamp set for the blog hop!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.  The front opening was cut using the Garden Meadow arch die.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Simply Zinnia stamp in Memento Black Ink, then colored with Poppy Parade/Bubble Bath, Calypso Coral/Pumpkin Pie, and Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends for the flowers and Lemon Lime Twist/Old Olive for the stems and leaves.  The layer was adhered to the inside.
• The greeting from Simply Zinnia stamp set was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink on Bubble Bath cardstock and punched with the Double Oval scallop oval punch.  The bottom half was adhered to the bottom flap of the front.
• Two dragonflies from Dragonflies & Birds embellishments were added to the upper left corner.

SUPER simple, but I love the stitching around the arch AND I have the part I removed to use on another card!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
