Bay Window Card - Birthday Greetings

 Happy Saturday friends! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for visiting. 

Today's card is a Bay Window fold card; you can find a tutorial for making this style of card under my tutorial tab. 

This is my first attempt at this style of fun fold. I think it's cute when it is assembled and stand up.

Here it is laying flat. I would suggest sending some instructions with the card so the recipient knows how it works.

Happy crafting today!

Using your scraps - rays of sunshine congrats

 

Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for visiting!

Today's card was made by is pursuing my 2025 goal of using up some 6 x 6 paper pads and scraps from my stash

For these scraps I set the strips on an angle to give it a sunshine ray look.

Then grabbed this pretty scalloped edged die and cut out the panel.

Each panel cut slightly different making each card unique. I then grabbed this filly flower die from Stampin Up. An oldy but a goody and placed a stamped sentiment banner on top to anchor the embellishment.

Thank you for visiting and Happy Crafting!

Slider Card - Bookmark Style

 

Hello friends! Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card post. 

The card I made today is called a variation of a slider card. I used the Art impression die which I have had in my stash for a very long time. 

If your interested in making this style of card you can find a tutorial for making this style card under my tutorial tab.

I enjoy gifting interactive cards to others. It is so mice to receive snail mail these days but to make it an interactive or fun fold style card I think makes it even more special. 

The pull tab can even be used for a book mark by the recipient. 

Here are a few other variations I made using different papers.

Using Paper Strips - Happy Anniversary

 Hello and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Quick and easy card for you today. I am determined to use up my stash of scraps in 2025. 

For this card, I added some scraps to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of cardstock in a diagonal fashion and then die cut the panel out of a fancy panel die. All that was left was to pick the embellishments I wanted on the front.

These flowers come from a Spellbinders die set from the Sealed collection. 

Add a sentiment banner and I was done. I created about 5 of these. 

 I should have enough anniversary cards for the year. ;-)

Happy a great day and happy crafting!

Slimline Card - Birthday Bench

 

Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative. I think for 2025 I will try to make more cards that fit business sized envelopes. 

Today's card is a Slimline card with a twist and will fit in a regular business sized envelope. 

 I took a class from Karen Burniston using her bench pop up die and in that class she cut out the little notch in the card base for the sentiment to take front and center

I just thought these papers were so pretty to make a sophisticated birthday card.

These papers were just left over in my stash. 

I hope you enjoy and try making this little twist on a typical slimline card.

Happy Crafting!

Twist Pop - Up card - Congrats

 

Hello friends and welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today 's card showcases a fun technique.

This card is a Twist Pop - Up card. 

This card is pretty simple to make by hand although,  there are companies out there online who sell a variety of dies that make this interactive card.  

If you want to try making this style of card by hand, you can find a tutorial under my tutorial tab.

I used a die set from Karen Burniston to make the process simple. I have made several twist pop up cards by hand. You find find several samples under my tutorial tab.

I also used Karen Burniston wine charms to decorate this card. Aren't they cute?!

Here is another variation using another color cardstock and patterned papers. 

This card is made to fit an business size envelope. It is a slimline card but presented horizontally just to do something different.. 

I hope you give this card a try!

Happy crafting!
