Happy Bear-thday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a birthday themed Slimline Pop-up card I created recently.

To create my card I used The Ton's Fractured Coverplate die. I die cut the die using white, pink, purple and lilac cardstock and then paper pieced all the colored pieces into the white frame. This panel was then adhered to a white top folding Slimline card that measures 3.75 inches x 8.75 inches.

I used the bears from MFT Stamps Beary Special Birthday stamp set to add to the front of the card. The sentiment is also from that stamp set.

For the inside of the card I added a pop-up using Lawn Fawn's Pop-up Big Wish die set and the alphabet dies from Oliver's ABCs.

I used some of the left over pieces from creating the background on the front of the card to create another panel. I then cut this down the centre and added it to the top and bottom edges of the card.

To finish off the card I added a few more of the images and the sentiment from the Beary Special Birthday stamp set.

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Rebecca Ednie our challenge hostess for the month finishes off the month with one last challenge.

Collages are fun to make. Make a background from various different paper elements or use a paper that already looks like a collage.

All month I have been making Slimline cards for my Crazy 4 Challenges challenge cards, so of course I wanted to continue that for this week's challenge. I thought the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Windows die would be perfect to use to create a collage.

I die cut the frame from black cardstock and then die cut the inner portion of the frames with different patterned papers in red.

To decorate my card I used Lawn Fawn's Let's Roll and Year 8 stamp sets.

I normally like to create some sort of interactive, pop-up or fancy fold card for challenges. So for my card today I decided to create a pop-up card. I used Lawn Fawn's Pop-Up Wish Big and Oliver's ABCs for the pop-up portion of the card.

Along the edges of the inside of the card, I added a frame using the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Windows die. I then added images from Lawn Fawn's Let's Roll stamp set.

Here is another photo of the inside of my card, taken at a different angle so you can see the folds of the pop-up a little better.
