Hi Crafty Friends,
Hi Crafty Friends,
I needed to make a 21st card this year for my daughter to give to one of her nephew's. His birthday isn't until later in the year, but when I was watching a video on how to create this style of card by Sam Calcott recently ... I knew I needed to make the card while the inspiration was there.
This style of card is called a Tiered Floating Panel Showstopper Card, and you can find Sam's tutorial here.
For the back centre panel, I used the 21 number from Creative Craft Products Numbers Galore Collection. I die cut the number using dark blue glitter cardstock.
I added the hand holding the beer mug which is a stamp set from Trinity Stamps. The "nephew" is from the sentiment set from Made To Surprise's Showstoppers 3 collection.
I dry embossed the back panel the 8 x 8 Linen Embossing Folder also from Made To Surprise.
The card folds down to a 6 x 6 card size, although because of all the layers is a little bulky. But for a special card and being hand delivered that isn't a problem.
The sentiments on the very front of the card are older ones I have had in my stash for years.
I added a panel to the back of the card, for a place to add a sentiment and a personal greeting. This sentiment is from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Showstoppers 2 collection.
Today I am sharing a fun male themed birthday card using new stamps, dies and papers from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott.
For the pop-up portion of the card, I used the new Winged Pop-up die set from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Showstopper 3 Collection. I also love Sam's Showstopper dies and this one is no exception. I love how many different ways I can use it to get a completely different look.
To decorate the card, I used two of the stamp sets, sentiment sets, papers and embossing folder which were also part of the Showstopper 3 collection. It is good to see some male themed stamps being release, who doesn't need ideas for male cards.
Today I am sharing an Easter themed Kinetic Easel Block card I created recently to give to one of my grandchildren for Easter.
This card using the Bouncing Bunny & It's Only More Puppets 5 x 7" Mechanism die sets from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott. I used Sam's tutorial on creating an Easel Block card which she created when this collection was released last year, but I did give my card a few tweaks to make it a little different. You can find Sam Calcott's Easel Block Card Tutorial here.
Here is a quick video to see my card in action and how it folds.
I added Easter eggs to the card using Lawn Fawn's Mini Easter Eggs die set.
I also added an Easter Egg Basket to one of the bunny's arm which is from Karen Burniston's new Animal Add-ons 5 die set.
You can also see on this photo how two eggs at the back of the "block" are adhered so they don't interfere with the workings of the bunny.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a sewing and postage themed Slimline Pop Up Card.
Last year, I purchased Waffle Flower Crafts Postage Collage dies and stencils. I love them so much that when they released their other postage themed dies/stencils in other size formats I had to add some of them to my stash.
One that I purchased was the die stencils in the slimline format.
As you can see I went with a sewing theme for my card, using stamps from Clearly Besotted.
After I mounted my card to my top folding card base, I added the wax seal to the lower left corner of my card. In case you can't see, the wax seal has a sewing machine on it.
For the inside of my card, I created a pop-up card, using Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop-up die set. Rather than adding the label from the die set to my card, I kept with the postage theme and added the postage stamp. The sentiment is from a Your Next Stamp stamp set.
