Bean a Good Friend

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for dropping by my blog. Today I am sharing a coffee themed interactive card I created recently.

Back in November, I got the Papercraft Society Box #50 which was one designed by Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott. It was a coffee theme, this time around which is a little different for these kits. As I was busy at the time making Christmas cards, I didn't have time to play with the contents of the kit until now.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

I have created a 5 x 7 Flip and See Card using Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's 5 x 7 Flip and See Card die set.

When you pull the tab at the right hand side of the card, the top panel flips to the left to reveal another panel which I have decorated with donuts and a sentiment. I used the  stamp set included in the Papercraft Society Box to decorate the card. 

This card is then layered onto a side folding 5 x 7 card. I added an another image and sentiment from the Papercraft Society Kit.

You Are So Space'ial

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

According to the Days of the Year website, yesterday (20th July) was National Moon Day and Space Exploration Day. 

I remember back in 1969, it was the 21st for us down here in Australia. We had just arrived at school to be told we could go home as the first man was walking on the moon and we could watch this event on our TV's at home.

As you can see I decided to create a space themed card to celebrate these events.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

For my card today, I created a 5 x 7 Flip and See Card using Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott's 5 x 7 Flip and See Card die set.

I used stamps from Clearly Besotted's Balloon Bunch Space stamp set to decorate my card.

The sentiment at the top left side of my card, I used a sentiment from Made To Surprise's Out in Space stamp set.

When you pull the tab at the right hand side of the card, the top panel flips to the left to reveal another space scene. I used the same stamp sets on this panel as I did on the front of my card. The sentiment used on this panel is from the Clearly Besotted stamp set.

This card is then layered onto a side folding 5 x 7 card. I added a few more images from the Clearly Besotted stamp set.

I also added two more of the sentiments from the Made To Surprise Out In Space stamp set.

Holy Cow!

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

According to the Days of the Year web site, today (11th July) is Cow Appreciation Day. I love checking out this web site for all the different days people celebrate, and if I find a day that works with stamps/dies I own it's as good an excuse as any to pull them out and play!

So it would be no surprise that today I am sharing a cow themed card I created using stamps and dies from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Flip and See Collection.

One of the card that Sam shared when she released her Flip and See Collection back in April, was a Single Flap DL (slimline) card. For my card today I used her tutorial as inspiration, but changed my card a little. You can see Sam's card and her tutorial here.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

For my card I used the DL Flip and See Flip Card Mechanism die set to create my DL card. To decorate the card I used the Tops and Tails and Farmyard Sentiments stamp sets as well as the Farmyard Icons die set.

For the inside of the card, I added another panel of the patterned paper I used on the front of the card. I added two more cows and two more sentiments which are both from the stamp sets I used on the front of the card.

Wonderland

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for dropping by today. According to the Day of the Year Web Site, yesterday (4th July) was Alice in Wonderland Day. Of course this was as good an excuse as any to pull out my Alice in Wonderland stamps and play!

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

I have created a 5 x 7 Flip and See Card using Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's 5 x 7 Flip and See Card die set. I am really enjoying making this style of card. 

To decorate my card I used stamps from La-La Land Crafts Wonderland Collection. For the front of my card I used the Tumbling Down Marci stamp set for both Alice and the sentiments.

When you pull the tab at the bottom of the card, the top panel flips up to reveal a cute scene of the Mad Hatter and Dormouse. this images are from the Curiouser and Curiouser Stamp set.

This card is then layered onto a top folding 5 x 7 card. I used the rectangle dies from the Flip and See die set to add the layers on the inside of my card.

I added the White Rabbit from the All Mad Here Stamp set to the left side of my card.

I added a birthday sentiment using one from Creative Craft Products Impossible Card Landscape Sentiments stamp set. The "Oh dear! Oh dear!" sentiment is from the Curiouser and Curiouser stamp set.

Sew It's Your Birthday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for visiting my blog. Today I am sharing a sewing themed Slimline Flip and See Card I created for a friend who likes sewing.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

To create the interactive Flip and See portion of my card, I used Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott's DL Flip and See die set. This die allows you to create a Slimline/DL sized card with either 1, 2, 3 panels that flip up and down.

To decorate my card, I combined two different Lawn Fawn stamp sets ... Sew Very Mice and Sewn With Love. The sentiment in the centre of the panel that is revealed when the front flaps flip up is from Creative Craft Products/Craft Stash.

For the inside of the card I added a couple more of the images from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp.

Thank You Teacher

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for visiting my blog. Today I am sharing an interactive Teacher thank you card that I created. This is one of four I have made so far this year for my grandchildren to give to their teachers at the end of the year. I think I still have a few left to make.

This year I purchased a few new stamp and die sets with a school/teacher theme and this card uses a few of these stamp sets. 

I also recently received my Made To Surprise Flip and See dies from their April release, so I decided to pull out the 5 x 7 die set to use on this card.

To create the front panel of my card, I used MFT Stamps Slimline English Brick Wall Stencil to make the background. I also used Clearly Besotted's Clever Corners stamp set for the cute owl and book scene.

I used MFT Stamps Teach, Sleep, Repeat stamp set for the sentiment. I doctored two sentiments included in the set to come up with the "Thank You Teacher" sentiment.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

When you pull the tab at the bottom of the card, the top panel flips up to reveal a teacher themed sentiment and images. I used the same stamp sets on this panel as I did on the front of my card.

This card is then layered onto a top folding 5 x 7 card. I added another sentiment and two pencil images to this panel.
