Halloween Tower Pinwheel Card with Pop Up's

Hello!  Yes, I made another 5 x 7" Tower Pinwheel Card. They are just so fun - both to create and 'play with' afterwards! Of course I like cards that stand really nicely for display and these ones do that for sure. They fold completely flat for mailing and I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube: 

Below is a collage photo of each of the pinwheel paddles. Weeks ago, a talented crafter called Vy Tran shared a Tower Pinwheel card with a Pop Up and that is what inspired my card today. While I didn't have a chance to make a tutorial for this card specifically, I will link my tutorial for creating a Simple Box Pop Up below and the same technique works for these days.

I was happy to find a purple 5 x 7" envelope in my stash!

Fishing Slimline Pop Up Card

Hello!   This is the card I made to give our son for his Birthday ... he enjoys fishing, so I knew he would love this card. The Slimline die on the front is from Hello Bluebird and it cuts all the pieces away from the frame. Instead of using patterned paper as I would usually do, I die cut it from heavyweight white card stock and inked all the pieces with die inks. Then I spritzed them with water and let them dry before reassembling them puzzle style.  I have a walkthrough on YouTube with all the details:  

For the inside, I stencilled right on the card base, then added some stamped die cuts. The leaping fish was adhered using Karen Burniston's Mini Pops. The Happy Birthday was die cut a couple of times from white card stock then stacked and glued one on top of the other. I fussy cut the vellum shadow layer.

 

This fish is such a nice size to use for cards! I stamped the verse on Karen Burniston's Crosshatch Rectangles which is where we signed the card.

Dinosaur Slimline Shaker Card

Hello!  I had a lot of fun creating this card for our Gransons Birthday this month. I used the Downhill Vertical Scene from Hello Bluebird, cutting everything from white card stock. Then I inked, dipped and dragged the pieces with dye inks and placed them back inside the outline ... puzzle style. I also cut away one of the portions to create a shaker, which I know our Grandson will enjoy.

Here is a peek at the inside where I added a few layered sentiments. We will be hand delivering this card, so I didn't have to worry about bulk or how much it weighed for going through the mail.

One more look ...

Skating Dog Holiday Card

Hello crafty friends ...

I had SO much fun making this card! There is just something about rainbow colours that is appealing to me these days and I have to say I will be using them a LOT in the New Year. The background die on this card is called Skating Pond by Hello Bluebird and this was first time using it and of course I had to pair it with this fun skating dog image from Your Next Stamp! The happy skater is adhered with a mini Action Wobble so he bobs and wobbles around on the card front which is always fun.

Here is a peek at the inside - and I used another rainbow strip and this lovely Snowflake Border die from YNS. The snowflakes on the front and the extra ones on the inside were cut from the Snowflake Border as I had die cut two of them.

Yep - rainbows just make me happy!

This is a larger than A2 sized card but you can see that the A2 sized Skating Pond Background die can still work perfectly!
