Fun Folds Series #1 Pivot Twist Pop Up Card #2

Hi everyone,
I have another Pivot pop up card to share. This time I used the cut file from SVG Cutting Files. So cute and fun. It was quite easy to import and use, but I did have to do a little resizing first so that it fit properly on an A2 size card. Let me know what you think and if you have made this type of card yet.

Fun Folds Series #1 Pivot Twist Pop Up Card

Hi everyone,
Today, I am starting a new series called Fun Folds. I have no idea how long this series will go but I think that it will be on-going as there are always new and unique ways to make a card. The first couple of projects will be different ways to make a pivot twist pop up card. These are all the rage with the new dies from Lawn Fawn and Karen Burniston. However, these dies are super expensive and there are many ways to make them without these dies and saves you money too.

The first card I am sharing uses a Cricut file from Obsessed with Scrapbooking. A link to her video can be found within my video below.
Thanks so much for visiting today.

No Substitute

Hi everyone, Today is my card for the Just-a-scrappin challenge blog post. The challenge was to make a stair card. I had never made one before so I had to watch some youtube videos and look up tutorials and I still had some problems with making it work. So after practice and some ruined cardstock, I think I finally got it the way that I wanted it.

Isn't cute? The cuts are all from the Recess Cricut Lite cartridge and the sentiment is from the MFT stamp set Teacher's Pet. The paper is from my stash. I have had it for years and never used it because it was so glittery and pretty but it was perfect for my card today. Be sure to check out the JAS blog and join the challenge.

A Fun Fold

Happy Friday to everyone! Last Saturday I went to Terri Dunning's stamp camp. She is now my Stampin' UP demonstrator. Just because I am a consultant for another company does not mean that I can't appreciate stamps from everywhere else! We made some very cute things that I wanted to share. I decided to challenge myself to duplicating these ideas using CTMH products. The first project we made is a very cute card using a fun fold and the crab stamp set in the spring mini. The problem that I had in duplicating this idea is that I hardly had any stamp sets that were the color in kind. They all were just the stamp and you're done kind. So I used the CTMH stamp set A Little Bee. The first pic is of the card I made in stamp camp and the second is my version:

In my version, I used the CTMH stamp set A Little Bee and the Curly Sentiments. The cardstock colors were Hollyhock, Garden Green and Buttercup. The ribbon is SU. I colored in my bee with Prismacolored pencils and Gamsol. There is a really good deal on getting these pencils at Michaels. I used my 50% coupon from Joann and bought the 48 pencils, they came with a free box of 12 Verithin Prisma pencils! So I got 60 pencils for 30 bucks! I wasn't completely thrilled with it but I tried this fold with three other cards.

This one I love. I'm sorry the picture is so dark. My camera is not the greatest. I used the Flyin' High stamp set and the Rough and Tumble paper pack all from CTMH. It came out really cute. I'm going to submit this to corporate for this month's Make it From the Heart contest and give the other copy of this card I made to my cousin's little boy for his birthday. He's turning 7!

In this sample I used the stamp set Friendship Blessings which is the cutest darn stamp set ever! The paper is Sweet Harmony and the colors used are Amethyst, Blush, Sweet Leaf and Garden Green. The ribbon is the Blush polka dot bulk ribbon.
This last example uses the Delight in Everything and Happy Birthday stamp sets. The Happy Birthday stamp set just has different fonts and sizes of Happy Birthday, a very useful set. The colors used are Cranberry, Garden Green and Ocean, Buttercup and the paper pack is Delight in Everything. The ribbon is the Garden Green Designer Ribbon round. All supplies listed are by Close to My Heart.
