Happy Birthday Lady Pam! With a Fold Back Pop-up card!

 It may not appear that I'm crafting, but by the state of my crafty room, you'd know I'd been very busy, if not productive! We had two birthdays over last weekend, so of course I made two cards, I still haven't finished hubby's to the way I want it yet. It was to go with the bench card i made him...I'll post them later!  Anyway, here's the card I made for Lady Pam's 90th birthday. I used the Butterfly Kisses bundle, (that included papers, butterflies, buttons gems, pegs, resin flowers, ribbons, die cuts, stickers...you name it, it was there! plus a load of other accessories that I bought a few weeks back from Craft?thingy??? It used to be Dovecraft/Trimcraft, I'll change that bit later! so I was really spoilt for choice!

 I had to lie the card down to show off the pop out bit where I'd added '90'  I did all the folding and cutting first. It was to make a 7x5 card only I was listening to Sam and scored to make a 5x5 card... and missed the correction. I thought it a bit odd! and it took me a few moments to realise I wasn't going to fit backing papers for a 7x5 card onto a 5x5 one!  (It's corrected on You Tube now)  Sam embossed some pretty coloured card for the front, but I rather liked the purple mirror card instead. 

Happy Birthday, and PAM diecuts are from The Works

This is the back, using some more Butterfly kisses papers. The 'Have a Lovely Day' die cut was from the Butterfly Kisses bundle and a couple more pictures of the front. I couldn't quite get the lighting right.

Deciding what to make was the hardest as I've been watching Sam Calcott for ages now and every card I see, I want to make! (except the hand bags....I'm not into hand bags, but the boxes are very useful!) 

I finished off, covering the rose in front with Glossy Accents and a few more sequin butterflies inside, added later and not seen here.

 Go HERE  for the 'Fold Back Pop-Up Card' and watch Sam with her Nan making this card! It is Very easy!  #foldbackpopupcard #zfoldpopupcards #funfoldcards Thanks for stopping by! Hope to later enter some...

Happy Birthday Lady Pam!

We call her Lady Kendal, our 'Little Pam' because she is little and her name's Pam. She has a lovely laptop, but doesn't use it very much, so I can sneak this birthday card to her from me and him indoors, on here a bit early, because, although she does know about Spyder's Corner, she can't always remember how to get here!
She'll be 81 this Wednesday, she's sort of a second cousin (and mum) to John and has known him all his life. She used to baby sit a lot!

I've used those lovely patchwork papers from Bearly Mine Designs again, different from before (coz I bought the set) If you missed my link on Thursday, go HERE to find their lovely patchwork freebie.

I've mostly done the same as I did with my mum's card, with the eye dropper thingy to get me some plain matching paper, so I won't go on about it again, but have added gems, butterfly ribbon, a butterfly bow, which was fitted to some other ribbon, but I pulled it off and added it here, a dragonfly charm, some tiny glass beads that I threadled (that is a word!) together. They're a bit wonky but I quite like them like that! I made the punched out flower, fern leaves, loads of Stickles glitter glue, some eye-lash wool, and the LOTV image, which was a freebie from a Craft Mag a few months back. I chose this one because Pam is sooo little, she is a fairy! (Fairy God Mother)

I coloured the image with some water colour pencils, not very good ones, they've made her face a bit orange and the paper the little fairy was printed on, is a bit thin, so the more I tried to dilute the colour the more the paper roughed up.

The Freebie Fonts I used are, on the front and inside bottom Jellyka CuttyCupcakes, download it free HERE and the font on the top inside, is called Cheri Liney Download it HERE
I think I've covered up the lovely papers too much, but at least you get to see them on the inside!
A bit weird, I still haven't worked out sizes for the insert (no, I never use the measure thingy that pops up) and it was a bit hit and miss. I thought if I scanned in the covered card, save and print, it would come out the same size, but no!
My first go was miles too small and will make a little card for Pam's pressy and the second attempt was also a bit short, so I've added some Pink Petticoat Stars first, and then the patchwork over the top. But on a good note, I managed to print out the front and cut it to size without cutting off any of that mock stitching or having to add any, as I did on Thursdays card.
Hope I'm not too late for the Bearly Mine Challenge, I think it's 'add A Charm' which I've done!
