Farm Animal Christmas Card

 Howdy my crafty peeps! 

Today I am sharing a little more Christmas inspiration.  This time, I am using dies from KB Riley LLC and created a slimline card.  For the front of the card, I kept it pretty simple. I have used the Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas Shadow dies.

Here is the inside of the card. I have used the new Little Labels Pop-Up die set for my pop up mechanism. The characters used are from the Chicken, Pig, and Lamb die set along with the Cow and Goat Die set. In the hands of the lamb and goat, I have used elements from the Holiday Charms die set. I have also used the gnome hats which I have trimmed down to fit the height of my slim line card. 

Here is a close up of the sentiment. It was cut using letters from the Alphabet die set.

A Snowy Scene

 Howdy my crafty peeps! 

Today I am sharing one of my recent card makes.  For this card, I have decided to go with a snowy scene. Here is the front of the card. This card features dies from KB Riley. I have used the Merry Christmas Die along with it shadow layer. I have also used the Long Nature Edges and some elements from the Outdoor Scene dies. 

On the inside of the card, I have used the Garden Bench Pop-up and the Street Lantern Pop-up dies. For a place to write a message, I have used the new Labels- Crosshatch die set. What is special about the inside is the fact that it lights up. I have used the ED Lights in each of the lamp posts.

Here is the card all lit up. So much fun!

Gingerbread Town

 Howdy my crafty peeps!

Just stopping by to share my card as a guest designer for this month's Designers Challenge. This month, we were challenged with using the Mini Pops Die for a card of any theme.

For my card, I went with a gingerbread theme in a slim line card. Here is the front of my card. I have used the newly re-released Holiday House Pop Up die. I have also used houses from the House Pivot card die, Trees from the Tree Pivot, and charm from the Winter Charms die set. The back ground is using the Long Rectangles Crosshatch and the Long Natures Edges. The gingerbread details were added using a white gelly roll pen. 

Here is the inside of the card. I have continued my gingerbread village theme. I have used the house from the House & Fence Pop Up die and placed it on the Mini Pops Pop Up die set. I have also used the angled arms to add movement to some of the trees. I have also add the Merry Christmas from the Merry Christmas die. More details have been added from the House Pivot Panels and Evergreen Pivot Panels die sets.

Blast off!

Howdy my crafty peeps!

Just stopping by to share my card for this month's Designers Challenge. This month, we were challenged with using the Train Pivot Panels or the Rocket Pop-up for a card of any theme.

For my card, I went with an outer space theme. Here is the front of my card. I have used the "crater" piece from the Rocket Pop-Up to create the planet that my alien is blasting off from. I love the stencil feature in the die to help create the craters. I used Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Inks on grey cardstock. The spaceship and alien are from the Space Charms die set.

Here is the inside of the card. I have added the Enjoy the Ride die set and you can see the rocket pops up into the air taking flight.

Here is a close up of the rocket. I have used 3 flames to create the flame burst out of the end of the rocket. The flames were cut with yellow cardstock and inked with Wild Honey and Barn Door Distress Inks.

Here you can see the card closes flat for mailing.

Merry Cocktails

Howdy my crafty peeps!I am just stopping by to share a card using the new Triple Flip  and the Happy Hour Charms die sets 

 Here is the the front of the card. I was definitely inspired by the background paper for this card. I decided t0 use the Coffee Charms die set as well. (I was thinking a nice cup of joe with some Baileys). I have also added in a border from the Border Blends - Party die set.

Here is the card with the flipped open, continuing the cocktail theme.

Here is the inside of the card. I have added the Cheers sentiment and another cocktail to round out the theme.

Missing You

Howdy my crafty peeps! 

It is time for another Designers Challenge. This months theme is: Fun on the Farm, We were challenged to use the Barn Pop Stand and farm related dies.

Here is my card. I have used the Barn Pop Stand. I have also used the Farm Edges for the tractor and fence. For the sky I used Distress Inks to make the clouds using a die that I cut out as a stencil from the Nature Edges. I have also added the grass from the same die set. The pitchfork is from the Tiny Accessories 3 die set.

Here is the barn opened up. I have used the Triple Flip die set and only used the middle of the 3 "flippers" to animate the barn. In order to support the weight of the barn, I did extend the flipper with a scrap of paper from where I cut the whole in the barn. Also, in order to extend the Triple Flip layer piece, I did not place the top edge of the die on the cutting plate. I have also added the pig from the Chicken, Pig and Lamb die set and used the Tiny Accessories 3 to add the bandanna and the cowboy hat.

Avengers Assemble

Howdy my crafty peeps!

Just stopping by to share a card that I made for my little mans birthday. It is hard to see him getting older. But with getting older also comes more "big boy" cards. For this birthday, I have decided to go with an Avengers theme using the Snowman Twist Circle Pop-Up.  The card is 5x7.

Here is the card opened up. I have added the Happy Birthday die inside as well.

Here you can see the mechanism inside spin down which allows the card to lay flat for mailing. I did make sure that my images did not have any catch points by inlaying pieces so that they were smooth.

Here is close ups of some of the images used in today's card. I do have the all of the circular images on the dotted accessory circle included in the Snowman Twist Circle Pop-Up.
