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.

 

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.

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 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.

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.

 

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.

 

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.

Supplies : 

Karen Burniston: 1308 Arch pop-up, 1193 Heart Collage pop-up

Bendy shadow box card

 

This card was inspired a tutorial from Sam Calcott on her Mixed-up craft page. It is called a bendy shadow box card.

I think I made my first shadow box card probably more that 15 years ago, so it was fun revisiting the design with the added bendy piece.

Since the snowman set was on my desk, it was calling me to use it again.

The card fold flat for postage.

Slimline Floating Cube Card

I recently watched a tutorial from Sam Calcott - mixed up crafts. Sam has done a mini series of floating cube cards in various sizes.

This is my take of the slimline floating cube card.

You can fold in the sides, to fit in an envelope, it folds fairly flat and should post in a standard size envelope.

 

Believe in the magic of Christmas

This style of card is called a storybook pop up card. It looks like the a book when you open the card. This style of card has been around for a long time, but this is the first time that I have made one. I made this without any die’s, but I am sure there are companies out there that make a dies for it.

I made two cards, but I wrote in the other one before taking the photos, so this is just the front cover.

It makes a difference if you used good quality designer paper that the glue doesn't buckle when drying. 
 

Tunnel Box card

 After watching a tutorial from Sam Calcott on Mixed up Craft.

I made this card for my Granddaughter's second birthday. The card is 4 layers deep and I have added either the Pony/Unicorn or the clouds on the layers. I coloured the images to match the card stock that I have used.

Christmas Tri-fold

 I am just getting a start on some Christmas cards, this is a quick one. Using dies and Lawn Fawn stamps.

Double Column card

I made this card after being inspired the tutorial by - 

Sam Calcott - Mixed up Craft - Double Column Card

I just pulled out a clear set of birthday stamps that were a gift to me, to make a card for stash of cards. 

 

Make a wish Little Bunny

 I have had this card pack for a while. It is a paper toile kit that I had purchased at a craft show many years ago. I thought it would be great for my Grandson's 1st birthday. The pieces are precut so you just separate them and add foam tape for dimension.

Pop up Hexagon box blooms

Here is another Half Hexagon pop up box card. This it is a 5 x7 Landscape style.  On the back I created a panel where you can sign the card.

The card sits up for displaying and fold flat for postage.

 

Double Concertina Stepper Card

 

I am calling this, an inspiration card as it is a birthday card for a friend who enjoys owls. The gorgeous owl is Gus from Lavinia Stamps. He is rather large, so he fills the card. I have used copic pens to colour him in. I went with a showstopper card style for inspiration from Sam Calcott - Made to Surprise - Double Concertina Stepper card

The card fold into a 5 x 7 envelope for postage. It is rather thick so you will need extra stamps for postage.

Thanks for stopping by.
