Hello, Kraftie Friends!
I made a Pop-Up Box Card a long time ago (click HERE to see the post)...so, thought it was time to make similar cards with the same concept, but different designs...
These cards were inspired by Challenges that are using Book covers as inspiration...
The first one is very easy, since I used a Die Cut Set (Card In a Box - Christmas by Sizzix) plus other dies by Spellbinders...do you see a camouflaged birdie?
The second one was inspired by a card I saw on the homepage of SplitCoastStampers.com + me trying to make the most out of double-sided papers (I plan to make a video soon once I recover my voice...who knows when that will happen! lol!)
I used double-sided PP and some die cuts from Spellbinders, others are Sizzix and SU!, CTMH Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set, alcohol-based markers, Blue Belle Sequins, and an embossing folder from my stash. I made the box myself (unlike the previous box, which was die cut).
I was inspired by the "There's a Tiger in the Garden" cover...the plants, butterfly and flowers...just don't have a tiger on it...but I used the color orange!
Challenges:
Card #1
1. The Library Challenge #78: Garden Birdwatcher's Bible (inspired by elements from the cover)
2. Double Trouble #78: Wearin' o' the Green partnering with Use Your Stuff
3. Cuttlebug Mania: Today our Favorite Color is Green
Card #2
2. Beyond The Blue #5: Rustic Wood Background
3. Unicorn Challenge #63: Make it Feminine
4. Try it On Tuesday: Say it With Flowers
Welcome to Club Scrap October Artist Team Challenge Blog Hop!
If you came from Club Scrap's Blog (Karen's post), you're in the right place!
Your next stop will be Debbie's Blog!
I chose to make a Card Folio (watch the video HERE) + some Pop-Up Cards (watch it HERE) and a Fun-Fold Card (inspired by this video HERE):
I used Pattern Play papers for the Card Folio, and papers and Embellishment Cutaparts for the Pop-Up Cards (the bright orange is colored printer paper).
I used self-adhesive Velcro for the closure, instead of the buttons and fiber, shown in the video:
I used the newest Scandinavia Collection for the Fun-Fold Cards...papers, Embellishment Cutaparts and the cute Scandinavia Pine Washi Tape.
Challenges:
1. Word Art Wed #306-#307: AGoes
2. Simon Says Wed: AGoes
I've always wanted to make a pop-up box card, but never got around to it!
But when I received Club Scrap's Celebrate Jan Kit, I knew it was time!!! =)
I followed the tutorial (from Splitcoast Stampers) for A2 cards...it looks difficult, but if you do the math right (unlike me), it's not that hard!
Now, if you're like me...I had to cut 3 pieces of paper just to get the box right! =)
Adding embellishments (I cut flourish and circle from a circle die cut):
I made sure the embellishments were not sticking out of the card.
But then, you're thinking...where is the {feathered friend}???
You can see him when you open the card...tada!!!
