Birthday Pop Up

This is the first card I made with this Cuttlebug embossing folder. I love the row of bold candles, and the Stickles glitter glue on them gives the card a festive pop. I even embossed the "Make a Wish" sentiment with some glittery powder, to complete the look. However, when I stamped the inside with "Happy Birthday", it seemed like a let down compared to the fun exterior. Sooo...

I decided to make it into a pop-up card that could hold a gift card! (How about a lottery ticket for someone???) Loooove It! Now the inside is better than the outside! Oh, another idea...make a few of these into Christmas cards; And instead of gift cards in the slot, add a photo.
Endless possibilities!!!

Thanks for dropping by...Even if it's not your birthday today, may you celebrate the day just because!

So "Tweet"!

I have been wanting to make something with this sweet paper by DCWV for a long time. I finally figured out the perfect thing to use it for. This little bird house is made from a templete by Nichole Heady and I am going to fill it with some sweet treats for an upcoming birthday. The little matching card looks cute enough just as it is. However, if you scroll down you can see that it is actually three dimentional and stands up on its own! Cool, huh? I wish I could take credit for the concept, but I stumbled upon it somewhere out there in blog land. I wish I could remember...I believe the blogger said it was a Stampin Up! idea. I love that it has that little surprise element to it! Have a "tweet" day!

3-D Birthday card

I always struggle to make cards that could be given to boys or men. I figured using primary colors would keep it from looking too girly and I could use it for a boy or girl. The card pops out when you push in the sides, but still fits in a regular A2 envelope when it is flat. Love that. I also put some sparkle on the candles above the Happy B-day, not sure if it shows in the photo.

Ladybug Card

Made this card a few weeks ago and I love how it turned out. I used the scallop circle punch from Stampin Up! to make the body and cut out the background squares using the Nesties...
