Another Year Older

Hello friends - thanks so much for stopping by!  It is our sons birthday today - hard to believe he is 25 - time certainly flies!  I am sharing the card I created for him - very quickly I might add.

I used a retired Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder and Kaisercraft patterned paper from the Antiquities Collection.  Once embossed the paper has been lightly sanded to highlight the embossed cogs.  Next I have drawn around the cogs using a White Gel Pen.  The card front has been popped up onto a slightly larger card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 6" x 4" Adhesive Foam Sheets - it gives dimension but not as much as

The Hot Air Balloons have been cut using a Kaisercraft Die and popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 6" x 4" Adhesive Foam Sheets that have been trimmed to size. The sentiment is from Little Birdie Crafts, with the words being cut out and popped up across the Hot Air Balloons; the second part of the sentiment has been computer generated and adhered overlapping onto the cloud.  The fabulous Chipboard is also from Little Birdie Crafts.

The Pop Up sentiment is such a lovely surprise when the card is opened, I have used the Karen Burniston Katherine Label Pop Up for the inside label and Pop Up and Twist Mechanism. The sentiment is from  Little Birdie Crafts,  The chipboard cloud is from an adorable little set my DH got me from - of all places - Bunnings.

Birthday Roses in Pink

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a Twist and Pop Up card using Karen Burniston Pop Up and Twist Dies along with patterned papers from publications.  The papers are such a pretty selection and I have tried to use every piece of them.

The card front has been created using two different papers and a strip of contrasting patterned paper across where the papers join.  Next it has been cut/embossed using one of my favourite dies - the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the  Platinum Die Cutting Machine .  The sentiment label is from Little Birdie Crafts and the Beautiful Border Swirls and pink pearls are from Want2Scrap.

The Pop up sentiment is such a lovely surprise when the card is opened. The largest Kathryn Labels have been layered with the third smallest Spellbinders Nestabilities Fancy Edged Rectangles Etched Dies.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black Inc clear stamp set and has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.  I have used the Karen Burniston Katherine Label Pop Up for the inside Pop Up and Twist Mechanism.  The embellished sentiment on the card front and the  flowers are from Little Birdie Crafts and the beautiful pink pearls are from Want2Scrap.
