Beary Cute Christmas Card

 

My card today is another Christmas one and

I have gone with Beary Cute stamp set and Beary Christmas papers.

This is how I decorated the inside.

It's a nice fun fold, and it stands up which is important to me.

You can watch my video tutorial here.

Masculine Fun Fold

Pop Up Pillar card.

Side view.

Folds flat for posting.

Today, for my midway post at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

I have gone with a funfold birthday card for my son Milo.

He is very in to his cars so I have gone

with a car theme.

The papers I used are retired SU ones.

The stamp sets used are

Geared Up Garage  (SU) for the car and all the embellishments.

I used a Lisa Horton stamp set (Linen Texture)

for the sentiment.

I added chalk pen lines up the sides and

there is a verse on the back of the card!.

I used promarkers, silver gel pen and memento ink to colour

and alphabet dies from Helen Griffin for his name.

Took me ages lol but I do like to give a funfold

card to all my kids for their special days.

I hope you get to join us this month with your

masculine themed projects. Remember we have

a lovely prize up for grabs too!

I made this card for a friend's birthday and he

is a big car lover (and motorbikes) so I decided to go with a

The papers are from a pack called Best Route (SU).

The stamp sets used are

Driving By, Geared Up Garage (SU) and

Beautiful Anemone (LH).

And it folds flat!

It's time for our March challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and this month the theme is

Stamp Something For Spring!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us.

For my card today I have used a lovely new die set from

Card Making Magic called Flower Box & Card.

I have cut the base out using Soft Seafoam card,

layering it up with white and blushing bride card and some paper

from sunshine and rainbows paper pack (SU).

I then stamped the tulips, stems and leaves from

Timeless Tulips stamp set using soft seafoam,

fresh freesia, pale papaya, rococo rose and old olive ink pads.

Each piece has been cut and added to the card.

I die cut some butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies (SU).

The sentiment is from Dressed to Impress stamp set (SU).

I made a little bunch of tulips to embellish the front

and added a little felt bow. Some wink of stella has been added

here and there for sparkle.

A perfect card for my Mother-in-law.

I hope you get time to come and join us and who

wouldn't want to win that fabulous prize!!

I had a go at the book binding fold when I saw

the challenge theme over at the Butterfly Challenge.

Unfortunately I didn't need a butterfly on my card

but I was definitely inspired by Valery's challenge.

You can see the close up of the little penny slider car,

showing the hidden sentiment.

This card was made for someone who had to resit their test

after a long break due to illness.

 I have used Driving By stamp set, (available free with a spend

Geared Up Garage stamp set, black braid, Through it together stamp set,

Dragonfly Garden Fun Fold

My midway post for

Stamping Sensations

is this fun fold card.

As the theme is anything stamped option wings or tails.

I went with Dragonfly Garden stamp and punch set

from Stampin' Up!

I used my square layering dies to cut the diamonds,

stamping the smaller dragonflies on the top and bottom diamonds.

I followed the design inside too.

The card is balmy blue and the papers are petal pink.

The dragonfly has been coloured using the

balmy blue ink pad and my wink of stella pen.
