Birthday Pop-Up Card

The hostess from my most recent Paper Party requested a pop-up card. I had never made one before but thought I'd stretch myself a bit. I found lots of directions to different, cute, pop-up cards on YouTube and decided to go for it. I was pretty surprised at how easy it was to recreate. I really like the end result. The hostess and her guest liked them too!

This is the inside of the card. There are three gifts situated on top of each other with a cute little bow on the top gift. I used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper, Marina Mist cad stock, and Whisper White card stock. The stamp sets include, Wacky Wishes and Petite Pairs.

Thanks for stopping by...now go stamp something!

A Beau Chateau Birthday

Oh what fun it was to fiddle around to make this card! This is quite the layered card! I scrummaged around in my scrap box and found these papers and thought I'd put them together to make a birthday card. Turning, layering, cutting, and filing papers and finally adhering it altogether to make a card unlike my usual creations. I wanted to try out the envelope die and use it on a card. I am very proud of the outcome. I don't yet have a recipient for this card, I am going to file it away for someone special.

Inside the envelope I placed a little tag and stamped a birthday cake on it with a little candle. I used the glitter glue to make the cake shine a bit. I stapled some ribbon on my tag and stuck it in the envelope. Next, I added pearls to the envelope because pearls always add a special touch.

Card Recipe:
stamp set: Patterned Party and a sentiment from Easy Events
Paper: Pixie Pink, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede, and Beau Chateau dsp
Misc: pearls, Vanilla Seam Binding, buttons

Some Flirty Fun!

It has been a busy few weeks and crazy last few days. I will fill you in on the details a bit later. For now I have a fun card to share with you. I made this card using the Easy Events stamp set and the fun new Flirtatious Designer Series Paper along with Melon Mambo and Whisper White Cardstock. The Flirtatious paper pack includes 2 doily sheets. I cut apart one of them and made it the focal point of my card. I used the small flower punch and a rhinestone for the little flower at the bottom. I added a bit of glitter because every girl needs some glitter in her life now and then. For me...it's time for some glitter!! I'll add the sentiment at the bottom once I know who it is going to.

Hope you love it.
