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!

Just For You

Thought I'd have a go at a Double-Dutch card. I found some instructions on Mixed Up Crafts, a really good site for paper crafting tutorials, very clear explanations and easy-to-watch videos.

I used papers by Phill Martin, the sentiment stamp is by Stampin' Up! Butterfly dies are Impression Obsession.

Good Luck

A 'happy accident' card.

I used distress inks for the yellow background, it was originally for something else but I made a mistake on it. Then I stamped the black frame (Phill Martin stamp) and made another mistake - there was a big black ink smudge in the middle...used a square die to cut that out...then tore the frame...so used a butterfly die-cut to cover the tear! I mounted the yellow frame on foam pads.

I wasn't sure what to use on the inside of the frame but could see a small pot of bronze gilding flakes on my desk, I decided to stamp a Lili of the Valley greeting with tacky glue and added the gilding flakes.
To say it was all a "make it up as I go along" card I am pleased with how it turned out :)

Season's Greetings

There's a competition currently running on Phill Martin's blog, this is my entry.

I've used Phill Martin papers and stamps, the papers have been edged with his Frosty Mink colour cloud blending ink.
I made the sparkly button using a hot glue gun and loose glitter, card is 8 x 8 inches.

Deck The Halls

Papers are by Phill Martin and I've used the matching Colour Cloud blending ink (on the edges and also to colour the sentiment from the original white)

Sentiment die is by Tonic and the others are Sue Wilson
