Baby Girl dresser drawers card All For Baby

I bought this stamp and die set a while ago since I didn't have anything in this category. I finally pulled it out the other day when I got a request for a baby card. And as things in the universe sometimes happen this way, the very next day, I got a second request for a baby card! Luckily both were girls so I made two like this: 

It may sound silly but I had always wanted to make a baby card with dresser drawers. Here's the first card, I still need to make a second one. And hopefully I'll make an extra one or two to list on my Etsy shop!

thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful day!

 

Zany Zoo interactive flip or swing card

There's a new, super fun printed paper pack called Zoo Crew, with a corresponding stamp set (Zany Zoo) and dies too (Zany Zoo Dies). It has all sorts of cartoon like animals...a raccoon holding a bouquet of balloons, a llama sits knitting, the aardvark holding a gift, etc. I received a special order for a birthday card and decided to create this interactive "flip" or "swing" card... and this is how it turned out...

Now open the card and the message starts to "flip"...

Here's a partial view of the inside:

And here's in the inside fully opened, with room to sign the card and add a personal message. The adorable mini cupcakes are from an old retired set call Tasty Trucks and seemed to match the koala bear's juggling cupcakes perfectly!

I love making interactive cards like this...little ones and adults alike love the simple action of this card. 

The Zany Zoo paper pack is available online, as is the stamp and die sets that coordinate. The die set I used to create the card base however is an old old old Sizzix set and is no longer available. Let me know if you'd like to order the Zany Zoo paper pack, stamp set or corresponding dies online...I'm always happy to help with any questions...

thanks for stopping by. have a wonderful day!

Gone Fishing pinwheel fun fold

Stampin'UP! has a fun outdoorsy masculine stamp and die bundle in their current catalog called Gone Fishing, with a corresponding Designer Series Paper pack too. I had fun creating a card with it at my friend's card class recently and wanted to share this neat fun fold:

The card base is simply a 4.25" x 5.5"panel of card stock. The neat part of course is the pinwheel fold. And when you open the pinwheel, this is what you see inside:

It’s always a bit tricky figuring out how to close up the pinwheel…LOL Bit isn’t that sentiment just perfect?? The lure is die cut from silver foil card stock and the fish is fussy cut out from the DSP…

And no, there isn’t any space to write much of a personalized message on the front of the card. But you can write on the back. Know anyone who would LOVE this card? Or who loves fishing in general? Then this stamp bundle is made for you! Contact me if you'd like help ordering it..

have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by!
