Happy Birthday Emma! With A FlipFlap Card!

 It's my eldest daughter's Birthday Today! Happy Birthday Emma! So of course I've spent the last month, well-nearly, making her a Birthday card. I've been having a go at doing a Flap Flap card  and watched Sam Calcott's YouTube tuturial. Third time I followed the 6x6 how to, and got it right! I've added a link a quick YouTube video showing what's going on inside of my card HERE

 Pull the tab and another layer pops out...pull again and...

 ...these two pages flip out. I was going to add a stamped 'Cheers' and a 'Happy Birhday" but chickened out because I just knew I'd smudge it if I did! The papers are from TrimCraft, now called Craft Lable, ButterFly Kisses, I bought the bundle a while back which included loads of other things, including the topper, gems and flower, which I've added here. (plus buttons, pegs, gems, flowers, butterfly sequins, wooden butterflies etc) The 'happy day' sentiment is wooden and coloured with a Promarker. The little B is a diecut. (all Die cuts used were from 'The Works') The stamped Penny Black images, from my stash were also coloured with ProMarkers. (bought them from a crafty charity shop and this is the first time I've used them!)

  

 On the inside of the card, I  later added a lilac miri card 'Happy Birthday' circle with a balloon. (Seen in the video, link above) Then on the back I added a topper and some party sequins. To finish, I added a Wink of Stella on the Pussy Cats.

 

That's it!  I hope to add this card to some challenges later. Thank You for stopping by!

An 80th Birthday Card...

Looking back I seem to have made a few of these. (Cards for 80 year olds) This one I made for a lady I met through dog walking and Facebook. (I sent her this card when her little doggie had puppies!)  It was her Mum's 80th birthday and she asked, 'Please make me a card' about two days before... I stayed up most of the last night making it, trying to get myself into the right 'mood'.. Went to bed...my throat raw still coughing and splattering, then suddenly woke up and decided it wasn't right at all! So scrapped that (this one) and made another one in about an hour....(which she loved so much more!) such is life! (I'll show you that card in the next post. First this one.

The white flowers, are by Papermania and have had a ProMarker make-over so they match the backing papers. The papers are called Fairy Belle Collection, by Jodie-Lee, 24 sheets, 6 double-side designs/ 4 sheets per design, which came with a stamping set too from Simply Cards And PaperCrafts last year. I hate sticking down double-sided papers, don't you!?! Both sides are equally lovely.

 As there were bird cages and birds on the papers I used my Tim Holtz's bird cage Die-cut plus some of his flourishes too. I've also used a Martha Stewart lace border punch and a Woodware tiny leaf punch. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash. 

I've added stickles glitter to go with the shinny pinky/lilac mirror card and gems, plus a bluey card and a lilac card for layering. Everything's been edged with Vintage Brown Tim Holtz ink.

The sentiment I did on the computer. It's not been stuck down so I can remove it if I want to use the card for something else.

The font I used is a freebie on most sites, I've linked it before, I can't link them anymore, it's called, Abbeyline so just Google the name. Inside I've used more of the papers but left it blank. (I've since peeled off the sentiment inside, as I used Photo Glue it came off easy!)
I think that's it!  Coming up later will be the other card I made...completely different, but about the same size. (8x8) Thank you for stopping by!! I'd love to enter this card into a few ...
