Offset Gallery Card

 This was Creative Gems Friday night (Saturday morning for her in Australia) card this week. I have been looking for a style of card that would be able to highlight this beautiful moth in the Moonlit Flora, designer series paper pack. I also use soft sea foam card stock to bring out the moth even more. Such a quick and easy card to make and it’s so stunning!

Gatefold Accordion Card and Class Cards

 These are the cards we made for the August class. I so enjoy going to my friend’s house and stamping with the gals! 

Bendy Fun Fold Card

 Another fun card from Creative Gems. I made this for my sweet card making friend in TX - I tried to keep it as thin as I could because the post office is charging huge rates for thicker cards. Its a challenge with these fun folds! No pieces on dimensionals or jewels this time. 

Window Card and Card Class Cards

I am not sure of the card name, I made this at my friend's monthly card making class. This is a little different than I’ve made in the past, the focal image is glued to the right side and it opens up. I love it. We make 5 cards each time and I posted a pic below of the 5 from this month. I love the peach one. I have posted this style card before, it’s where you pull the tag and the peach image flaps open to a message underneath. I made a few around Christmas time. I so enjoy going to her classes and chatting with the ladies oh and the potluck lunch!

 

Triple Tiered Wiper Card

 So I saw this being made by Sam Calcott, she has made them in 3 different sizes so far but none A2. I saw someone post their card and they followed the directions from Carys Creative Table. Hers is I believe is A6 but thats close enough for me. This is what I made. Someone requested a birthday card for a 15 year old girl with some sad issues and was hoping cards would cheer her up.  I used the Wild Bunch stamp set and Stampin Up DSP. It is a fun card! You pull the bottom piece to the right and the animals pop out to the left.

Gate Fold Card

Do you ever have a bunch of saved cards to make and just don’t get to them? I decided to start working through my saved cards on my phone. Dont even want to tackle my pins on Pinterest, too many! Anyway this is a CASE of a card I saw posted online. The inside is my design but the outside is not. Moonlit Flora DSP by Stampin Up with old olive card stock. 

 

Inside Pop Out Fun Fold

This is a fun card to open! The two messages on the sides pop out of the center box when you open the card. The DSP is Violet Dreams by Stampin Up. I used Highland Heather card stock for the base. 

 

Sliding Message Card

 Another dear card making friend sent a die set for my birthday that she thought would go well with the Cute Bugs set. I made this card from it, the mushrooms and ferns are the dies. I then used a couple of the fussy cut bugs from the DSP and made the card with Moonlit Flora DSP. I am very pleased with the outcome! I will be sending this to her. 

Multifold Card

 I received a beautiful card for my birthday from one of  my great card making friends and just had to copy it! I figured out the measurements quite easily since I had her card in my hand. I dont know if there is a tutorial out there and I dont know the name of the card design. However I love it. I used Velvet Meadow DSP again and Peaceful Pine card stock.

Hidden Pop Up

 The group I am in for swapping chose this card for July and I obviously have been making several of these already! So here is the one for the swap. The last picture is a close up to show the Wink of Stella and the white dots that don’t show on the other pics. I used Stampin Up Velvet Meadow DSP which is flocked. 

Lily of the Valley Floating Gatefold Double Pop Up

Well I said it all in the title! I originally made this a while back from Sam Calcott Mixed Up Crafts but Creative Gems - Laura Stranks makes awesome tutorials you can print out so I made this one. I love her written tutorials that go with her videos!

 

Pop Up Bay Window Card

 This one is by Sam Calcott on YouTube, she is the creator of Made to Create which has stamps, dies and paper from the UK. I followed her video and wrote down the instructions, my notes are a bit chaotic but at least with her video I can do it again. This is for my BFF in CA. they recently got out of school for the summer (she is a teacher) so I wanted to send her a Hello Summer card.  She loves to bake so I downloaded this digital paper from Creative Fabrica and it is so pretty! I fussy cut the Mixer and I love how it shows through the oval window cut out and when you open the card it pops up inside. The kitchen is very nostalgic.  

Another Diamond Gatefold Birthday Card

 I just had to post this as the paper worked so well for this style and is so pretty.  Not much more to say, made it for one of my my sweet card making friends.
