Challenge Card

 

Today I am showing you a cute pop up card. This one was quite a bit of work but it was lovely to make.

The front was made from inspiration on Pinterest. I made that curvy edge on top with the help of a die that you use to make shadow boxes. I didn't have an edge like this so it turned out great. The top was a bit bulky with all those layers and the many pine leaf cutout so I used some gold shiny ribbon to cover that up and it looked so much nicer after that. The sentiment die is from Marianne Design.

When you open the card up these nice looking christmas trees pop up. The trees have been put on a strip of acetate to make sure they stay up whten the card is opened. I have not decided what I will be adding for text on the inside but I will do that later. 

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Christmas Kickstart #95 - Fold It Fancy

ABC Christmas Challenge - D is for Die Cuts

A Cut Above - Anything Goes using a Die Cut

I hope you like it as much as I do

Till next time

Tuxedo Fold Pop Up Card

 So this is my first post on this new blog. I made cards many years ago but it got a bit challenging to keep cutting decoupage images and also to color stamped images. I started crocheting after that and have been doing that for quite a number of years now.

I still missed making cards and other paper things and found a new way so I am giving it another try as it is still a passion of mine. Hope you like this one too as I think it's not all that bad considering it's been years.

I used white and yellow linen textured cardstock. The paper are from the collection Kindly Thoughts of Nitwit Collections. The butterflies are made from various die cut brands

Until next time
