These cards are extra special because they have a secret surprise! If you pull on the tab at the bottom of the card (where the fibers are) you'll be in for a treat!

There it is! A special message!

Spiral Card - fancy fold

This has to be one of the coolest cards I've ever seen.



Here's a closer view of the spiral - and the little spiral in the center.

This is what the card looks like open:


Cool, huh?

This is my first attempt at this kind of card, so I'm sure there are bound to be many more. :)

My only malfunction is I wonder how hard it would be for someone else to figure out how to open it. Let me ask you - since you're here reading this post - without instructions or seeing this picture, how long do you think it would take you to figure out how to open this card? And - do you think you'd rip it in the process?

Enjoy!

Fancy Fold Color Pop Cards

This is a set of six cards I created as a special request for a client. They're all basic black and white with pops of color - six different colors. I *love* this client! :)



The design for this card came from a visit to Hallmark with a friend. I typically do not go into gift/card shops because I can make just about anything I want; however, I got a *ton* of inspiration from looking through their stash. Of course, I can make them better. ;)



All of the cards measure approximately 4.25 X 5.5" (standard A2 size) when closed, so they fit into a regular card envelope.



I love the way they look all lined up together - so striking! :)



The cards are held shut by a photo corner. Once you turn it up or down, the little flap with the flower opens to the left and then the patterned paper panel opens to the right. Like this:







The black and white patterned papers come from SU! and CM - the ink and stamps come from CTMH, as does the cardstock and embellies.

Thank You a Latte Cards

I think these kinds of cards are the cutest..."Thanks a Latte". I have never made one until today. I created two of them and gave them to my daughter's teacher...she is big on Thank You cards and loved these.



I decided on a pocket card instead of the traditional open...and I think I like it this way.

Patterned paper is from CTMH's "Topstitch" collection, along with stamps from the "Coffee Shop" and "For Every Occasion" sets by CTMH.

Enjoy!

Flower Pot Cards (pocket cards)

These are just the cutest cards I have seen in a long time. I love that they're differrent in so many ways...one being that they don't open like a traditional card. :)



I made three of these cutie things. :)


*This one is made with SU! paper (razzleberry lemonade, I do believe) and CTMH CS

The last is probably my favorite...because I am IN LOVE with this paper. It is from CTMH...and is called 'You Rock'.



I found these cards on the Project Tuesday web site.

Enjoy!

Fancy Folded Card 3

Okay, so this is my most favorite card I've made in a while, honestly. This utilizes the new "triple shutter card" that has been circulating (thanks to SplitCoastStampers) and one of my all-time favorite paper collections from CTMH, Whoops-A-Daisy. I bet it won't surprise you to know that this paper collection is also being discontinued, which really breaks my heart. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors, bright and cheery. :)



When closed, this work of art (truly) measures 5.5" X 4.25"....which is really awesome I thought. I'm not sure who really came up with this idea, but man they're really talented...and how thoughtful of them to share. :) Thanks (to whomever you are)!!!



Enjoy!

Fancy Folded Card 2

I love glitter, really....but I don't get to use it too often. My hubby hates, frankly. He hates that I can be using glitter in my scraproom and somehow it will find its way onto him, who hasn't stepped a single foot into the scraproom all day. :) Well, that is fine by me, a little glitter never hurt anybody, right?

This is a result of that same trip to Hallmark with a friend of mine recently. I really love this top-opening card....great for any occasion. :)



This uses specialty paper from CTMH, which is no longer available...hopefully they'll bring it back in an Idea Book coming up....I love this paper. Key To My Heart collection.



Enjoy!
