Dragonflies

I dry embossed the background panel and added gold ink to highlight the embossed areas. I then stamped the dragonflies ink black ink and using a stencil, I added a flourish to the background. Then coloured the dragonflies with pencils.

 Supplies 

Couture Creations embossing folder - drifting endless

Dragonflies stamp

wink of stella clear glitter, flourish stencil colouring pencils, brilliance gold ink

Cube step pop up card in purple.

This finished card measures 6 x6. This card was inspired by and Sam Calcott tutorial.

I used the Pinkfresh set of Stamp, stencil and dies for the decoration of this card.

3 pieces of card 53/4 x 53/4 and designer paper measuring 51/2 x 51/2 one for the front and two for the inside.

Inside the card I created a platform to add the floral images.

1 piece 41/2 x 5 card, along the 5” side score at 1/2, 21/2, 41/2.

4 pieces 11/2 x 4” card, along the 4” side score at 1/2, 2, 31/2.

Attach the piece 5” piece by glueing the 1/2” scored piece so that it pops up. Then attach the smaller panels and centralised so that each panel pops up and down when the card opens and closes.

 Supplies

Pinkfresh - in the meadow, stamp, die and stencil

Die cut flower cluster

I thought I would try a different layout for this card, it fits inside a business size envelope. Instead of having the classic fold in half I made the front only half the size of the back, so that you can see the happy birthday die cut while the card is closed. The Happy Birthday is cut 3 times and layered together for some dimension. 

Inside I have used the Flower Pivot Panels for a surprise element once you open the card.

On the front of the card I have used several die cut flowers

Supplies 

Karen Burniston dies 1160 Flower Pivot Panel

MFT fancy Flourish and flower dies.

 

Center Tower Gate fold

This card was inspired by a Sam Calcott tutorial. It is called the Centre Tower Gatefold Card.

The card measures 7 x 5, I chose this size so that I could add the sentiment panel from the paper pack.

It looks great on display, however I still had trouble popping out that tower, even after adding a acetate strip in the back. The card was easy to make, I may try it again but in a smaller size.
