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.

 

Winter Wishes

This is a different type of fancy fold card that I have not tried before. It is called a 4 fold pop -out card. It takes me back to the time where all interactive cards were made with a ruler and a blade, not a die. I pulled out a snowman stamp from my stash for the front of the card and added some die-cut snowflakes.

The card base measures 10 1/4 x 5.5. Along the left side of the 10" side score at 11/2, 3 41/2, 6

along the 5.5" side cut a line 1" in from each end starting at the 11/2" to the 41/2" score line.

Fold these 1" ends into mountain, valley, mountain, the part in the middle becomes a mountain fold, on the inside I added another folded card 51/4 x 8 scored at 4"so that I can write a message.

So many reasons

 Good Morning Crafting Friends.

I thought I would share the card I made for my daughter's birthday.

I recently picked up this Sizzix die set on sale and I liked the idea of the thin frames to showcase the sentiment verse that came out of a designer paper pack. I made the flowers and leaves with some coordinating card stock and papers.

For the inside of the card I have used Karen Burniston 1122 Paper Frames Pop up die set.

Rockin Dance Records

 Today I am sharing the card that I have made for the CCEE Stampers team challenge CCEE2131.

Today is Vinyl Record Day! For many Vinyl Records are a thing of the past, but in recent years they have started to make a big comeback with even new albums being released. For our challenge this week it's all about music … bonus points if you included an image of a vinyl record on your card.

I made my card with an acetate front to show off the interactive element inside.

The Interactive element was made with the Karen Burniston die Rockin' Rectangle pop up. I love this dies set it is so much fun and a great surprise element.

I have also used from my supplies the Tonic Studio - Dance Tribute die and Sizzix - Juke Box and Music die set.

Party Favors

This is my second week as hostess on CCEE Stampers blog. I have two weddings this year and needed some ideas for bridal shower and wedding favors, so I have asked the team to.....

 Create a bag, box or container that can be used to contain a party favour.

For my box I have used a die created by Lynda Kanase. I cut 2 pieces in Navy Blue and 2 in Orange, joined them together and added the flower embellishment also included in the set.

Christmas Holidays

Today is the second last challenge for 2019 with the Crazy4Challenges design team.

Being that it is a busy time of the year, Hostess Frances is keeping our challenge today fairly simple.

 Use your favorite holiday stamps/dies on your creations. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then use one of your favorite stamps/dies.

I love Penny Black images and always use a few each year, I also love this pull card die designed by Karen Burniston (retired from her ECD days) My sentiment and banner are from Lawn Fawn one of my favourite companies this year.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Party Like a Rock Star

Welcome to today's card made for CCEE Stampers team challenge.

 Happy Birthday, Elvis!! (8th January) Liz is challenging us to make him come alive in some way on our cards this week.( Maybe a rock and roll theme, records, an Elvis or guitar stamp, or perhaps even “Blue Suede shoes.”) Anyway you can think to let the world know “the King” of rock and roll.

I had a super fun time creating this card. I wanted to use the Juke box die but as an interactive element, so I used the center die out of the Karen Burniston Explosion die set.

The Jukebox is a Tonic Studios die which I die cut as a sticker then glued it onto silver card stock then fussy cut the whole thing out, it took a little time but I think it was worth it. The music notes and the records are from the Sizzix Jukebox & Music set.

I was so happy with the way that the Jukebox turned out that I did the same with the Electric Guitar but inlaid some of the pieces with orange card.

Supplies

Tonic Studios dies - Jukebox Jive Electric guitar, piano melody

Sizzix dies- Jukebox, records, music

Karen Burniston Explosion dies set.

Your next stamp - Silly Monster Rock stars

Elizabeth Craft desgins - stitched rectangle die

Looking sharp in Green

Hi there,
 It is time for this week's challenge with the CCEE stampers team.

Wow, we're three weeks into March already.....and St. Patrick's Day is on the horizon.  This week, let's make a St. Patrick's Day card.....or.....use the color green on your card!  Not all of us can use a St. Patrick's Day card, but green is a wonderful color with endless possibilities!

Wow I love anything green, that seemed to be true with this photo of my card today. It didn't matter which angle or how many times, I took the photo the light just seemed to bounce green off the background, so I am sorry for the poor quality of this photo.

I finally had the chance to play with this Sizzix Cactus card die, it was super easy to use. I created a 3d cactus with the center panel, that you could pop out and use as a book mark.

I used the Concord & 9th stuck on you stamps set for my sentiment and basket. I the card seemed to stay open to wide for my liking so I made a belly band for the bottom.

Here is my photo ready for postage, I am much happier with the truer colours in these photos.
