Shutter card



I made this shutter card following a great tutorial on Mixed-Up Crafts.

I've used Paper Boutique papers and topper, the sentiment stamp is by LOTV.

Sweet





Stamps are by Docrafts. I've heat-embossed with white and gold powders.

Inside I made a simple open box, punching a 'bite' using an SU scalloped punch. The biscuits are (box of 48) from Costco but also available on Amazon, they work out less than 20p per pack so a fun addition to the card.

Shabby



We made this card a while back at the club, unfortunately my sample got a bit battered then misplaced, so by the time I photographed it it was definitely on the shabby side of chic.

Embossing folder is by Anna Griffin, we rubbed a little gilding wax over the surface.
Decorative card panel is Graphic 45, the front panel is a stamp by SU. There was originally another small panel tucked into a front pocket but that has disappeared somewhere along the way.

Border die is Spellbinders
Flowers made from card that has been punched (SU) then dampened with water and scrunched up.

Fancy fold friend




Another fold-flat card.
I've used two pieces of card, cut and scored the same size, then adhered together at the sides.

Before adhering I stamped the butterfly (Inkadinkado) using Versamark ink, and die cut an oval in the front piece.

The decorative frame and the flower dies are by Crafters Companion.
The friend die is by Alinacrafts.

Pop-up




7 X 7" card with a pop-up inside. I'd seen similar cards to this on Pinterest but they were tent-fold, I don't tend to do a lot of tent-folds as find they sometimes dislike standing up!

The pop-up mechanism is very simple, a piece of card that is 8 x 8" scored and folded in half both horizontally and vertically. Flip over then score diagonally from one corner to opposite corner (only one diagonal score, not two)

I've used paper and toppers by the Paper Boutique.

Pop-up card



This card was made using measurements from the Craft Spa blog.
It folds flat to fit in a standard envelope.

I've used flower stamp and punch from SU
Sentiment is a Phill Martin stamp. The cream card isn't dirty it has a flecked pattern!
