 View from a slightly different angle.

Instruction Video

My apology for the too close camera angle.  I am still trying to figure why the output is different from what I have seen on my Mac screen.  If you have any suggestion/answer, I would truly appreciate them. 

Please feel free to use the design for non commercial purpose.  Please contact me if you are planning to use it for charity purpose.

Hope you enjoy making this card and I look forward to seeing your creation.

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.

Surfing Fish

Today I have a pop-up card with a fish surfing in the wave.

I keep it very simple with lots of white space for greeting later as this card can be used for different occasions.  I stenciled bluish grey color at the corners to give a touch of color.  It would be a great card for a friend who loves fish or fishing...

Close-up look of the fish.  The fish is cut out from metal foil and it reflects the color of the clothing of the audience (LOL I guess you can tell that I was wearing an orange shirt while taking these photos).  

Art Supplies Used:

• Cheery Lynn Designs Die Bass Fishin (FRM136)
• Joy! Crafts Wave Die 6002/0330
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad WEATHERED WOOD Ranger TIM20257
• Prima Marketing Floral Stencil Item No 572242
• Metal Foil (for Fish)
• Grey and Metallic Cardstock
• Water Color paper

I presented this card in the following challenges:

• Cheery Lynn Designs Blog Challenge 185 - Make It Manly
• Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Stencil It

Pop up Proposal Card

For this week, I am creating a pop up card for the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #84.  The card opens by itself as the ring box popped up with the rubber band mechanism in it.

On the front of the card, I cut four corners from the Lace Corner Deco D set.  I made a slit in each one and folded them to create the 3D effect.

Once the card is opened, the proposal question is displayed, accompanied by an ornamented jewellery box with the diamond ring on top of it.

As the jewellery box is smaller than my creative corner (another corner from the Lace Corner Deco D), I cut them into smaller pieces and decorated the different facets of the box.  Below the box is a another doily from the Chasing Rainbows doily set.

And on the side of the question, I added another corner from the Lace Corner Deco A set.   I cut an additional corner and trimmed it for the third flower.

Thanks for stopping by. 

XOXO
