Building Block/Pop Up Card

Hello, again.  

I'm back with another "Kinetic" card.  I'm having a blast with these.  The directions are at SplitCoastStampers, but I chose the tutorial on Card-Making-Magic.

I decided to make my 'blocks' into differently sized gift boxes.  I saw that idea somewhere, but I couldn't find it again.

This is the front of my card.  I've used #294 Tilda with Balloon.  My cardstock and dp are both from my stash.  Tilda is colored with Copic Markers.  The background is done with a combination of Copics and Adirondack Lights.

A close up of Tilda.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.  You can see that the balloons were made dimensional by putting two layers together with pop dots.  The little tag is from a SU punch and I just found this sentiment in the bottom of a box I was cleaning up!  Whoooot!

Here is the card opened to show all the panels.  I don't know what I was thinking when I chose all that pink - yikes!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  This card is not part of a challenge or a Dr. Monday M.D., but I do appreciate your comments anyway.

Many blessings to you all,

Hugs,

Barb

How does your garden grow?

Good morning everyone, I have a fun card to share with you today.  I really hope that the photos will do it justice. My Hubby thought it was fascinating. 

I have visited several times to this gals blog called Card-Making-Magic.  Not everything on her site tickles me, but I've enjoyed making her Kenetic Cards.

This is called a "Magic Slider Card".  It took me two attempts to get this right.  Thank goodness my first was on scratch paper.

The paper I used is from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found2.  I love this paper and I've used it alot on  previous projects.  Since it's double sided I knew it would look pretty inside and out.

Here is the front of my card.  I have used Tilda in the Garden from the Pink Lemonade Collection.

I stamped Tilda onto clear card stock with Stazon Ink.  The sentiment is stamped behind the clear card stock on the pink gingham paper which is the reverse side of the flower side.

 In this photo you can see that the Magic Panel it part way up.  I love how this card works.  As the colored panel  appears the line image disappears.  Cool huh?

Here is a close up of Tilda.  I think she is adorable with her little shovel.  Kinda reminds me of me!! NOT!!

Here is my artsy shot of my card. As you can see I finished the card front with some Ivy from Magnolia-licious™ Store.  a few flowers from WOC, some pearls and a little bow of bakers twine.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Your visits always warms my heart.

Many Blessing to each of you,

Hugs,

Barb

Thinking of You

It's Hump Day!  Yes already, the week is spinning by and before it gets totally away from me I have a card to share with you.  Another stitching card - which I adore doing!

I'm going to be posting to my blog pretty regularly in the future as I have been asked by Diana Crick, of Magnolia-licious, to come back on her design team.  I readily accepted.  She is the nicest most generous person to work for.  It is my delight and honor to be back on her team.

I will be posting 3 projects a month using those wonderful whimsical Mini images.  Oh, I've got hundreds of ideas bumping around in my head and I'm very excited to get started.

Anyhoo,that all begins this coming Monday.  For today I have a Gate fold card with a cut out window.  I kind of fashioned it after several that Norma Lee did.

I loved the idea of having an opening that would allow you to see into the card.  I used a spellbinder die for my opening.

Here is a closer view of my Tilda With Floating Hearts and the stitching I did. 

Here is the care opened all the way.  As you can see I took one of the pieces that were cut away and used it to give Tilda something to sit on.

Here is a close-up of my floral arrangement.  I also used a Doo Hickey Die and a Marianne Die for the leaves 

Now a look at my stitching.  I added some very small pearl into the centers of the larger flowers.

Well, that's all folks!  I'm very busy working on upcoming projects that I hope you will enjoy.

Blessings and hugs,

Barb
