Cards by Cathy The Birthday Collection


Here are some cards that I made working with various paper,
buttons, ribbon, and 3D effects.

One of my paper folding experiences
Square's circles and brads
I used foam dots to raise up the three panels so you could see the paper below.
Pull the ribbon and the four squares flip to
read : "Happy Birthday to you"
Pull the ribbon and the panels flip

More paper folding
It's easier then it looks.

2012-01-14 Specialty Christmas Cards by Cathy


I made some specialty cards that I wanted to share!

Gift card for on package
This is just a 2x4 piece of red card stock folded in half , outlined with a gold pen and then
a pre-printed cutout placed on the front with foam squares.
This one is a little more difficult to explain ,
you place the money or gift card under the ribbon (on the other side)
and which ever way you open it the gift remains behind the ribbon
but the background changes
This card is for gift cards. It is like a scene take card in the movies
and when you pull up the top piece the card stock pulls out
and that's where you place the gift card
This is also made for a gift card, you pull up the top piece and the bottom piece
slides out and that's where you place the gift card.

All of these card idea's came from a subscription to a club called
Card Makers
