I knew I wanted to make a pop-up card but really wasn't sure how, so after quite a bit of thinking I came to this. The front was pre-bought papers and toppers, but I stamped, coloured and glossed all the cakes on the inside and then had to figure out how to get them to pop-up. I was so pleased with this card that I was dying to give it to Mom, but she wouldn't open it till her birthday.

I wanted to make a couple of cards with just verses on the front for a change, and here they are.

Friendship 4" x 4" challenge

All done for Lots to do revisited, I have stamped, masked and coloured with various pens on the top one.

Stamped and brayered both the background and the topper.

Then used some nice paper, stamped a friendship quote then used brads and stones to embellish, finally matting on toning card.

Beer Mat Swap

These were made for the beer mat swap on Lots to do revisited. Yes they are beer mats, the pink one is in support of breast cancer, the middle was is a 'beer monster' and the last is my version of an Hawaiian shirt to mark the re-make of one of my fav's as a kid Hawaii 5-O.

Buildings

For the Lots to do revisted challenge swap, thought I would do 3 wildly different images.

they are all digital stamped images, the first and last are coloured with pro-markers and the middle one is aged with Lord Tim's ink pads.

Children Tags

For Lots to do revisited challenge swap.

I downloaded some digital stamped images and then coloured with pro-markers then added to co-ordinated backing papers and ribbon.

Red, Black & White swap

These are for the Lots to do revisited challenge swap. I stamped some images and coloured with Pro-markers, but not on the best card, so ended up running a tiny bit.

I LOVE poppies though.

I made this card for a challenge that didn't happen in the end.

I thought it might be a good Men's card though.
