3D Bowling

This is Not a Card...

 

FS899 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Jennifer aka jenn47. Oh my goodness I am blown away at her fantastic gallery. Here is my INSPIRATION.

APR24VSNG - If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I also made a Mother's Day card. For the outside, I used the Creek Bank Creations Happy Flappy Card Base die rather than an oval. It creates a flap that opens on the front of the card.

The sunflowers is a stencil from The Ton and once the flowers were stenciled, I added stickles to them.

On the inside of the flap, the sentiment says it is a Hug when you pull the tab. I really love this pull tab and plan to make a few more cards with it.

Cardinal Graduation

F4A740 - Chirp! Chirp! (This is actually what the school says to graduates) :)

USEIT2024 - Tassel

I have to say I am very last minute making this card. My son's girlfriend graduates next week, and he asked for a cardinal pop-up card.

I used several Karen Burniston die cuts to create the pop-up cardinal and used a Spellbinders die cut to add the wings.

The graduation cap paper was a stencil used on red paper and I finished with the Spellbinders congratulations die cut out of gold mirror paper.

The card was finished with the closure and some red and white bakers' twine and I found the tassel in my tote of items to use up.

Here is a picture of the cardinal closed.
