Easter Card

Well not super happy with this card but I am posting anyway! I saw a card on Pinterest that when you open it the basket pops up with daffodils in it.  I thought I could do it because I had a basket die and daffodil stamp and die. My basket was way too big to put on a pop-up inside so I pivoted to putting it on the front. Not sure what I dont like, maybe the designer paper? Anyway on to more Easter cards, I need a bunch!  Basket by Stamps of Life, daffodils by Stampin Up as well as the DSP.

St Patrick's Day Pinwheel card

 I made this card using full 4.25 x 5.5 inch papers, so folded flat it fits in a 6 x 9 manilla envelope.  I found this clip art (?) on Creativ Fabrica and my friend is a big fan of St. Paddy's Day and cute things so I made it for her and sent it on its way.

Triple Z Fold Card

 This card is from stampwithtami.com, Tami White.  Fun card and easy enough, easy for me but some of my friends say what I think is easy is not easy! I used the February paper from Stampin Up called Painted Illusion.

Pivot and Flip Panel Card

 This card design is from Lisa Curcio, I used, you guessed it - Lovely and Beautiful DSP.  I bought two packs of it so I have lots of paper to use! The flower stamp is from Hand-Penned Petals, I use that so much!  Its easy to color and aways looks great in any color combination. I really like this design, was actually easy - you are just laying three strips of card stock across and gluing them on one side only which allows it to be forward and backward - mountain valley fold. It closes to a 4.25 x 5.5 standard A2 card!

 This tutorial was by Laura Stranks, her YouTube channel is called Creative Gems and has a ton of tutorials as I have mentioned before.  Her Facebook group has all of the written tutorials for free.  She writes great tutorials! This paper is also in the Lovely and Beautiful DSP set. I did also use paper from Floral Impressions, both Stampin Up.

Pop-Up Book Card Lovely and Beautiful

 I made this type of card several years ago but it popped back up on my radar recently.  It has a tutorial currently by Simply Simple Stamping.  She has a lot of good tutorials on YouTube but she charges for the printout- however I believe she gave this one free. Anyway I used the new Lovely and Beautiful set by Stampin Up. I colored the flowers with the Blends, alcohol markers. I cut out gold sprigs and the center of the flower which looks stunning in person.

Lovely and Beautiful Tag Card by Patty Bennett

 I saw this card on YouTube by Patty Bennett, she  received a similar one for her 3 million dollar achievement from the Stampin Up company. I made this pretty much exactly the same way she did except I have different stamps, flowers and die cuts than she has.  It is so beautiful!  This paper is to die for.  I think I have said that before but some papers are prettier than others, right?
