A little birdie told me

This is another Triple Arm Pop up card that I created earlier this year. Using Dies for the main focal images. 

 

Triple Arm Pop Up

I saw this tutorial some time ago, this is my first attempt. I had made it early this year and am just sharing it now, it was a lot of fun and easy to make.

I used designer paper as my main focus, but it would be easy to use stamped images.

It uses 3 arms of different lengths to create the pop ups, you can then anything to the arms to match your theme.

 

Vintage type

 To start this card, I applied ink blending layers with Distress inks, I then made score lines and then dry embossed the card and applied more ink to the raised areas. The stamped images were fussy cut out and coloured with layers of distress inks. I also added a spray of gold smooch ink to add an aged look.

Supplies

Clear stamps textures Typograpy - Lou Collins free in a craft magazine

Rose embossing folder

Distress ink - brushed corduroy, weathered wood, tumbled glass, squeezed lemonade

Highlighted tags

 I made the background on the back panel with stamps and various inks. Added the black webbing and 3 hand cut tags which were stamped with leaves that were heat embossed. I then added the skeleton leaf and threads in the tags.

Bird Collage

 I made this for a Collage swap and was pleasantly happy with how it turned out.
 For this card I started with swiping the ink across the card. I then added the leaves with a stencil and two green inks. I then added the stamps to the background with black ink. I added the die cut leaves and the bird that I had hand cut out. I coloured the flowers and the bird and added Plaid dimensional magic to add a gloss texture.

Hidden Numbers

I made this for a numbers card swap.

I started with a diamond stamped background from my card stash. I added the numbers with a stencil

 and blending the ink. I then added the stamps and blending the images with ink to add depth.

 

Baby Back fold fun card

 This is a simple fun fold card, for this baby themed card. On the left side there is a score mark when you fold it back the card then opens. The circle helps with the closure.

Special Princess

This is a Slimline Trifold card

I have used Disney themed stamps and dies to create this card for my Granddaughter.

I folded the card into a slimline trifold card. I die cut the images and coloured them with copic pens. I

 tried to get the colours close to princess colours.

Wedding heart

I made this card for a beach themed wedding. I found this subtle seashell paper.I have used one of my favourite pop up die sets, along with the wedding charms set.

 

Double oval Flap card

I made this Double flap card with an oval so that I could fit the Lavina stamps images. I chose the purples reflected in the designer paper for the colour palate.

This is the oval version of the   Double Circle flap card that I shared last week.

Double circle flap card

This was a super fun card to make. Inspired by Iced Images Double Donut Flap Card tutorial that I found last year. Using a A4 piece of card stock, cut in half lengthwise to make two cards. I scored the base to make the double flap, attaching the designer paper layers for the background.

I then die cut the circles and decorated them and attached them to the folds. The inside one first then lining up the front over the inside one, to complete the card.

 

Cocktail night

 A cocktail themed party was held to celebrate a friend's birthday, so I made this card for her.

I sponged and stenciled the background and fussy cut out the images and added them to the card with foam tape. Inside the card I added the spinner square pop- up die panels, the sentiment pops out from the front panel as you open the card.

Embossed Roses

 

Some fun making a birthday card for a fellow card maker. I scored lines on card and added distress inks, shabby shutters, brushed corduroy, weathered wood with the direct to paper technique. I then dry embossed the roses and highlighted it with peeled paint. Adding the sentiment and die cut leaves.

Butterfly wave

This my version of a wave card, I love using butterflies on the wave.

I pulled out some stamps from my stash but any that fit would suit.

 I made the card base to fit into an Australia standard postage envelope and adjusted the wave panels to fit. I went stash diving for the butterfly designer paper. The stamped butterflies were coloured to match the background paper. I made this card for a fun butterfly swap. Inspired by Sam Calcutt tutorial.

 

Happy little monster

 I made this card for my Grandson's second birthday. I wanted to make a dinosaur card but the set I ordered didn't arrive in time. So I went with this clear stamp set that was a recent gift, a great set of monsters that are very cute. I stamped out the images and used ink to blend the background. For the central monster I added it to the card with foam tape and added the googly eyes for fun.

Birthday wishes

A fantasy themed card for a four-year-olds birthday.  I have used the princess themed stamps and the Lorna label pop up die set for the center of the card.

 

Star gazing

I had a lot of fun, creating this version of a star card.

I watched several tutorials from several sites and they all seem to follow the same pattern.

The base card measures 5x5 inches. For the star panel I cut 6 pieces 1/4 x 5 inches and scored at 1,2,3,4. I attached them to the left side of the card base to create the star. I them cut 12 pieces to size and dry embossed them with a star embossing folder, I then sanded the card to reveal the white core. I the created the mat layers to fit on the right side and stamp and coloured it to match the theme.

 

Stenciled background

 I created the background for this card using the Altenew Layered Dahlia Stencil A & B. Using a stencil is great for making quick cards. I applied the stencil layers over a light patterned designer paper. I then added the embellishments from my stash. 

Through the looking glass

 

I had a bit of fun creating the background for this card with a gelli plate and acrylic paint. I then added a selection of stamped images. The top layer of images are from a clip art search of Alice in wonderland images.

True loves kiss

I made this card for a Disney themed wedding. I used a page out of the DCWV designer paper pack, Once upon a time.

I wanted to highlight the words in the designer paper and used the arch pop-up die set from Karen Burniston to create a pop up arch of love hearts over the wedding couple.

On the front I added the die cut carriage, and on the back I added an envelope a place to give money.
