Rotating Easel Card

 This card was a challenge! I saw a "short" on Facebook of this style card and loved it.  The circle on the inside rotates when you open the card.  I had to make it!  Finally found a video by the maker and it was in French.  She did write (in French) directions of which I learned a few words which is a bonus.  She also drew some diagrams which was extremely helpful.  I watched the video several times to get the mechanism right since I couldn't understand French but that's ok. I decided to make it in A2 size, she had hers in centimeters and its a little larger. So here we are, I used the new Stampin Up suite called Sunflower Fields.  Oh and I used a Happy Birthday die cut in green and it didn't show up real well so I used white gel pen on it to make the letters stand out.  Not sure I like it, what do you think?

Pocket Card

 Oh this is a great card for this new beautiful designer paper! Sunflower Fields, the stamps and dies are Radiant Sunflower that match. I made three, which one do you like best? I made each with a different front and different color combos. I put them side by side in the last picture.

Card 2

Card three

Which one do you like best?

Triple Slide-Out Card

 This card is another "slider" card but this time the whole card slides to the right revealing several layers.  I putthe sentiment on the back.  I used some much older Stampin Up stamp sets along with some brand new dies and stamps.  It's nice to use older items, the hard part is remembering you have them!

Expanding Z Fold

 This one is from Dawns Stamping Thoughts aka The Glitter Pit.  She also is so good with directions for these cards!  This one I totally get her plan to not make it thick so you can mail it.  It is pretty with the designer paper but I just need mats.  I feel like this is so blah without them! Funny how we get used to things.  It is just right to go in an envelope now and if I added mats to it then it would be more postage and possibly the dreaded $8 postage because its over 1/4".

"W" Card with Moonlit Flora

I have two card making friend's birthdays this month and here is the first one.  Cant decide which one to send it to!  I will make another equally pretty card for the other, maybe that will help me make up my mind.  This time I used black and the mat with the soft seafoam. Stunning results! I love this paper pack so much, hope you arent sick of it!  I ordered two new packs so you will be seeing new designer paper from Stampin UP.

 

Bridge Card - Airplane

I think I am going to try publish the cards I make every three days.  That way it is consistent.  I might have to go to two days because I make a lot of cards but we will see.  This card is for a request on Facebook for a boy who has multiple tumors, brain and spine and she wanted to cheer him up.  So sending this out and I pray for this young man, he is only 13. Paper and dies are from Stampin Up.

 

Reverse Flip Card

 This card is from Creative Gems.  I try to make all of her cards, she has two a week most weeks.  I see this paper pack used a lot - Scenic Coast by Stampin Up but never see this sheet and color used.  I love it! I used gorgeous grape, highland heather and crushed curry cardstocks.

Slimline Pop Up Card

 This is a little different.  Susan Campfield made a video on YouTube. It is way too thick (almost a half inch!) to mail for reasonable postage.  However I did enjoy making the card very much.  I actually like the front design I made myself (not copying) that I am going to make another slimline to mail without all of the bulk.  

Moonlit Flora Z Fold Card

 This card is using the Moonlit Flora DSP by Stampin Up. I so love Berry Burst with this designer paper! I used Fern and Flora and Fragrant Layers stamps and dies.

Seaside Theme Slider Card

This card I made for my niece for her birthday.  I used the Relaxing Waterside stamp and die set by Stampin Up.  I love this chair in these colors!  I also had a nice color combo for the card stock, a little different than all my pinks and purples of late.  I love this card and she did as well.

 

Pocket Flip Slider Card

 This card has been around a while, at least the slider part.  I like the flip up panel on this. I made this from Carys Creative Table YouTube video. This is the Velvet Meadow DSP from Stampin Up. 

Diorama Type Card

 This card is a copy of a card I saw on Pinterest, so not original but I thought it was pretty so decided to post it here.  Using Stampin Up dies and stamps, the background picture though is from Creative Fabrica.

Triple Tiered Slider Card

 This was originally made by Sam Calcott but Carys Creative Table did a smaller version which are the directions I followed here.  Both on YouTube if you decide to make one.  I pulled out and old Cuttlebug embossing folder and used an MFT die to make the wavy line.  The seagulls are from Stampin Up.  Fun card to make!  This is my second one, the first I used the same stamps as she did and posted it a little bit ago.
