Paper Rose Bees and Butterflies

 Today, I'm sharing a fun card using products from the Bees and Butterflies suite of products from Paper Rose Studio.

And there's a special surprise when you open the card! I adhered the printed and die cut honeycomb to the inside of the card. I cut a piece of acetate into a spiral with scissors, then attached the centre of the spiral to the inside front of the card, the outer edge to the inside back of the card, then attached die cut bees to the acetate spiral.

Insider - Online Card Class

Yay! Another class!!

Very quick post today - made a card with Hero Arts sets "Lotus Leaves" and "Say it All", using Distress markers to colour the lotus flower.

 With a little mini-pop-up-card on the inside :)

Have a great day :)

Butterflies for Hannah

I made 2 butterfly cards last week, for my cousin Katrina's gorgeous three-year-old daughter, Hannah - one for me to give to her, and one for my Mum to give - here they are:

 Have a great day :)

Happy birthday Miss 10!

Here's a card I made today for my Mum to give to my eldest niece, Lauren.   Just like the card I made for Samantha (see previous post), the star is popped up on an "action wobble spring" - so it wobbles ;)

I'll be submitting this to LilyPad Cards for their Simon Says Stamp Presents a Star Challenge, and to Clean and Simple's FTL 192.

Happy birthday Miss 6

As I mentioned in my last post, 2 of my 3 nieces have their birthdays in the coming week.  I made their cards weeks ago, but my Mum asked me today to make a couple of cards for her to give to each of them - here's Miss 6's card :)

The circle with the 6 on it is popped up on an "action wobble spring" - so it wobbles!! 

I *sort of* used this week's Clean and Simple sketch - I just rotated it into portrait from landscape ;)

Happy birthday, Toni!

It is my friend Toni's birthday today, so I made her this card (her business has a bee as its logo):

 I saw this card on Maile Belle's blog, and I thought it was a fabulous way to turn a nice card into something really special inside.  She used a spiral die to make her pop-up come to life, but I just punched out a circle and cut the spiral by hand :)

 Happy birthday, Toni!

I thought I'd submit this card to PaperPlay Challenges for "Things with Wings".   

Have a great day :)

Lots of cards for Alice

I'ts Alice's birthday tomorrow, but her birthday party is tonight.  The chocolate crackles are made, as are her cards.

Here are the ones I gave you a speak peek of earlier in the week.

First, the flippy card .

The monkey is from a set by Stampin' Up, the "3rd" is cut from a SU die set "timeless type alphabet", the "happy birthday' is a Victoria's Secret stamp, and the "happy 30th alice" letters are from a Tim Holtz die, "once upon a time".
Now, the slider card.

The Happy Birthday is a SU set. All the rest of the letters are from a Hero Arts clear alphabet set, "happy letters".

Alice got a tattoo yesterday (don't get me started....).  She told me about the tattoo weeks ago, and she described it as an empty birdcage withe the bird outside.  Here's my take.......

 

The only stamp I have with a birdcage has a bird in it, so I hand drew this one.  Also, the only bird stamp I have is much too small, so I drew the birdie too.  The yellow background is embossed with a Cuttlebug die (seeing spots) that I bought yesterday at Paperific at the Melbourne Showgrounds - gotta love Paperific!  :)

Happy Birthday, Alice!!!
