Movement/Unique Cards



This is a wonderful masculine card

Hello everyone, hope this beautiful weekend in March finds everyone full of sunshine and blue skies.  My Stampin Up buddy Nancy held a special card making class this weekend it was on Movement and Unique cards.  While I have seen these made before I thought they would be much harder to create, in all honesty once you made one the rest were easy. Nancy is going to post the link on her site with all of the specifics.  Anyway here are the cards, please note that unless specified all items used are from the Stampin Up line.....


 The Card folds so that you looks like an
easel.  When adding the caption at the bottom
use dimensional adhesives so that the top of the
card catches on it securing it.

In the card to the right the butterfly on the top and the bottom both have been attached using dimensional adhesives.












The birthday card at the bottom has 4 blocks that when you pull on the tab at the bottom flip up, with the last one saying Happy Birthday.

 the next card uses the same principle just more generic.  I so love that you can customize this to whatever you need.  You need to remember on these cards that the strip of paper or ribbon in the center can not be adhered to the paper or your movement won't work. 






these cards are simply beautiful and amazing.

Permiere Dazzles by Paper Wishes

Dazzles are a unique laser sticker that you can do so much with.  Paper Wishes offers a monthly or bi-monthly subscription in which they send a packet to your doorstep with 3 or 4 sheets of dazzles, 5 sheets or more of paper that will coordinate with the dazzles, a few embellishments and a complete instructions on how to make 6 projects from your supplies.  (mind you that you need to provide your own scissors, cutter, clue or tap and sometimes ink).  This brown flat package is always a welcome site at the door step when I get home from work. 

Here is a picture of some of the items from this months kit (note the brown stickers that are missing are on the card farther down).

This is the first page of the news letter that goes with the package  (I've only given you the first page you will have to subscribe to receive the rest - sorry rules of the game).

Now the card that they recommended was a 6 1/2 x 12 card.  That is way too large for my likes so I moved to a smaller card and improvised.  My final card wound up being 5 1/5 x 4 1/8

on this card the pastel colors is a 2" x 4 1/8 strip adhered and placed about 1 1/2 inch from the bottom of the card.  The swirly brown sticker is trimmed to 2 inches, placed on the seam between the two colored pages.  the Brown butterfly/sunflowers were placed on a the yellow paper, then cut out to give you the finished look.  Follow the same process until done with the leaves.  a brown swirly was used as a stem for the sun flower.  The words Hello and Sunshine where placed on light green paper and cut around.  Another swirly was added above the word Hello and two small brown butterflies are added.

The entire card took about 10 minutes to make.  The inside was to be designed as well but I liked that so much that I'm going to make another card from that.  Hope you enjoy .
