Romantic Sunset

This week I decided to play with moving paper mechanism instead of my usual pop-up card.
The card depicts a lakeside sunset where a couple sharing the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

First glance at the card where the couple are holding hands. 

 

 

Once the doily (tab) is pulled up, they lean towards each others shoulders and the sentence "Treasure each moment together" is revealed.

 

My first attempt in creating an animation to demonstrate how the effect of the pull mechanism.

Rose Bouquet Pop-Up card

A rose bouquet card for different occasions.
  
I used Cheery Lynn Designs Alison's Ribbons (B335) dies to cut the lace frame around the card.  The delicate cut out is perfect fit for a small size card.

A video on how the flowers elevated.

A look at the card when it is opened flat on the table.  The rose bouquet is tilted towards the center.

Tiki Bar Templates and Video Instruction



I have attempted to document instructions on how I make some of cards but find them too lengthy and decided video is the best way to explain them.  This is my first attempt at making an instructional video and my apology for any unintended mistakes.   Please feel free to comment on them as your feedback will help me to improve on future videos.   Also the link to the original Tiki Bar post with more photos of the card.
