A Happy Birthday 4 panel Accordion Card

Hello again my Blogging family and friends. The card I am showing you today is one a made a little while ago so I am happy to have it to share with you now.
It uses the Elizabeth Craft Designs Fancy Frame accordion die and matching edges.
Here it is:






















Here is the card opened out. I also took pictures of each individual panel. The base frames are from a 12 x 12 DCWV  and the edges are ust plain white card stock.

I used an ECD Butterfly peel off and a great technique of sticking it to Transparent Double sided tape, then sprinkling with glitter and then colouring with Copic Markers. There's a great Tutorial that shows you how to do this on YouTube..

OK here are close ups of each of the four panels.










The front panel.





















The second panel.




















The third panel




















The last sentiment panel using a stamp from Quick Fire Designs.

Happy 12th Birthday Harrison

Hello again my blogging friends and family.
Today I wish to show you my Grandson's 12th Birthday card. His birthday is on the 20th June and unfortunately we couldn't be with him on the day, however we did manage some time with him, a couple of days before, when I gave him his card from his Opa and me!

Harrison ADORES Minecraft, an on-line game that he plays with his friends. This was my inspiration for his card. I had to ring Tiffany to check the correct name of the game!!!

I took two photos - Here's his card:




I downloaded the image from Google as well as a Font you can download for free.
I then used Shimmer Sheetz from Elizabeth Craft Designs, embossing them with a couple of Sizzix embossing folders.

Here is an image of the inside of his card:

I used the image of the hand from Google which was one of the "World's" someone had created in Minecraft. I created a little "Pop-Up" device so that when you open the card the hand moves outwards.

The piece of Shimmer Sheetz at the side is a pocket into which we popped some money for Harrison to spend. I suspect you know what he'll spend it on!!!.

A Wedding Card for Tegan and Robert

Hello my blogging friends. How has your week been? I have been on my travels and once again glad to have spent a little time in my crafting space. For my post today I am sharing a Wedding Card that I was commissioned to make for a Tegan and Robert. I was requested to make a big wedding card in a box.

OK. So here are some photos of what I made:






Let's begin with the box. I made this of kraft coloured Chipboard and covered it with some beautiful Cristina Re Oriental Rose wedding paper I found at Office Works, then added an organza 7/8 inch white ribbon on the outside which I purchased from Really Reasonable Ribbon













When you remove the lid you see a box lining made of crepe paper.


















To keep the top flap of the box lining in place I added a flower, a couple of leaves and three pearls.





































Here is the front of the card. I decided to make a middle step card. I used a silver paper to mat the panels and the panels themselves I embossed using a  Cuttlebug Anna Griffin Poppy Border set 5" x 7". On top of the panels I added some Want2scrap swirls (6074) pearls in white, with some stemmed star flowers I purchased from My2 angels. I added some 3mm white pearls at each corner of the panels.

The T and R initials I die cut with an alphabet die set and the sentiments are from a silver wedding peel-off.









Here s the card out of the box standing on its side and shows how the step card stands.



















... and here is the card photographed on its side again it gives you a view of the step features.

















Last image is of the back of the card. I added a writing panel, a little wired white butterfly and a stamped sentiment in silver encore ink which I die cut using a small circle spellbinders die.

A triple square flip card

Hello my blogging family and friends I hope I find you well today and enjoying what remains of a Great week. I have been away from my crafting space which I do miss being away from after a few days, however work prevails and all there goes well.
The card I am showing you today is the third in theTriple mini-series I have shown so far.

Here is my card:


































This is a lovely card very similar to the two previous ones I have made. It uses similar ingredients just using them in a different way with different embellishments.


































I used little scraps of matching dark pinkish cardstock to make the slim strips shown on the inside of the card which you see when the card is open.


The main ingredients that I used to make this card are:

A Triple Fancy Frame flip card

Hello my blogging friends I hope I find you well. Today has been a bank holiday here in Australia for the Queen's Birthday Celebrations. For me this meant some time to play in my craft room.
The card I have to show today is one I made a little while ago and follows my earlier posting. It is another triple flip card.

Here it is:





I really like this little flip card.
The little Daisies make it look so fresh.
They are little wooden buttons that I have had for ages and they just seemed to fit on this card.

I used Mimosa Yellow seam binding as it matched the card colours perfectly.

In my stash I had a piece of blue design paper which I cut with the die set piece and then added white pearls in top.












Here is the inside of the card when it flips open.
The card stock is all from the 12 x 12 DCWV The Sky's the limit paper pad.
I used a couple of peel offs for the sentiments on the front and on the inside of the card.












These are really pretty and the dies make it an easy card to put together. Here are the main ingredients I used to make this card:




Thanks for stopping by today have a great week
