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

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
