Piano Teacher Slimline Thank You Card

Whoa - it’s been ages since I’ve posted! I took a lot of time off this summer, spending it with family and friends instead of in my craft room. Of course, we didn’t have great weather this summer so it would have been a perfect excuse to craft, but … … …

I did manage to make a few cards here and there - and even got photos of them, but haven’t yet shared them so I will have some new content soon. Meanwhile,  this is the card I made for our youngest granddaughter’s (amazing) piano teacher at the end of June and she said he loved it.  I used dies & stamps by Karen Burniston including the Music Charms for the Grand Piano. It got sprayed with shimmer spray and I popped up the lid with a black foam dot.

Inside is the Piano Keys Pop Up - how fun, right? Two of them fit perfectly inside a Slimline card and I left room for her to write him a note.

Side view so you can see that the black keys are raised above the white ones.

'Let The Music Play' Pop-Up Card

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! I finished off another one of those July Sheetload of Cards (that makes 6 finished out of 8) and made it a pop-up using dies by Karen Burniston. In her newest release there are Music Charms, this WAY cool Piano Keys Pop Up, and a coordinating stamp set. I used all three of those here. 

I am impressed with the Piano Keys Pop Up - it goes together so slick -  and look forward to making more cards with it. I hope to find some Christmas music paper in my stash so I can use it for holiday cards too.

Since this was my first play with the die set, I kept my card nice and simple. But you can add more than one (side by side) to create a longer keyboard ... and it fits in different card sizes too! (This one is 7 x 5"). I just found some music themed birthday paper in my stash so made a note to use it for a couple of birthday cards. I will also use it for our granddaughter's piano teacher's thank you card at the end of the year. 

The music notes come included with the Piano Keys Pop Up, but the treble cleft is from the Music Charms. You simply snip off the hanging hole to take it from a charm to an embellishment!
