2012-02-24 The Card Box For My Valentine!

Top Cover of Valentine Box

I always seem to make the card , and then after words

realize I don't have the right size box or envelope so

then I have to make my own

Paper , stickers, glitter and pop dots

easy , fun and pretty!!

Front Cover of Valentine Card

I made a red card stock card then cut a piece of paper that had

hand writing on it and 1/8 of an inch smaller then the card

it looks blurry but it was sharp and clear in real life!

Inside of Valentine Card

Used Martha Stewart heart corner punches and

cut the black paper with hearts on it so it would fit slipped

under the punches, used red stickles glitter glue to outline

one of the hearts on the black paper , stuck the Happy Valentines Day

Sticker on a piece of white paper , cut out three sides with edging scissors

then inked the edges in red, used a white gel pen to write love Cathy on

the black paper.

Valentine Heart Puzzle in Card Box

Purchased a Heart shaped chipboard puzzle

covered it with red "love" paper then placed valentine acrylic

drops on each piece to give each one a little variety

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

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
