Christmas Thank You

This turned out a whole lot better than I expected it to.  I used the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding papers to stay with the Christmas theme for one of the challenges that I will enter this in, but it kind of doesn't look too much like Christmas.  Probably because I used flowers and butterflies.  The stamps are Outlines Rubber Stamps, the butterflies are Cheery Lynn die cuts glued onto Figgy Pudding paper and cut around the die cut.  I popped up one of the butterflies on a pop-up device of my own making and used pop dots for the other butterfly and flower.  The doily is also from Cheery Lynn.  I did use a Spellbinder die cut behind the Thank You. 

All the shiny is from Lindy Stamp Gang.  I actually used the mica powder to get that center flower to shine like that, and used Starburst Sprays for the butterflies, flowers and leaves.

I hope you enjoy this.  I had great fun creating it.

Thank You Santa Baby

I just love how this turned out.  I used the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding papers, Elizabeth Bell's Letter to Santa Digi.  I also used Spellbinders Dies and May Arts Flowers colored with Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst spray, even stuck in a McGill Leaf.  The spray of pearls is from Hobby Lobby Bridal.  I got to use my new Ephiphany button maker.  I used scallop die from MFT I think, but the packaging is long gone.  I colored the girl with Copic Markers.

I hope you enjoy it.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty

The other day I was watching a video by a famous papercrafter who was using this device to pop cards up.  It was made of something that looked a whole lot like the acetate that I save from my packaging.  SOOOO, I wondered if I couldn't make one of these.  Smoke rolled from my ears, sweat poured off my forhead, and you could smell rubber burning; Oh she must be thinking!!  Once the smoke cleared, I had an idea.  I used a 1/2 inch wide by 2 1/2 long piece of acetate, and used my Score Buddy to scored it a 1/2 inch increments.  I made this into a square, with a piece that overlapped, and voila, a pop-up device.  You can go do my instruction blog for the specific details of making one.
