Double Concertina Inter-Lock Cards

 I'm Back In My Craft Room!!!

              I can't say it enough... I am so happy to be back in my craft room! It has been a rollercoaster for my Daughter and I over the past year and a half! I am glad to have her home and to be back in the crafty spirt!

     Here is an absolutely gorgeous Interactive Fun Fold Card! It is called the Double Concertina Inter-Lock Card and I believe the original designer and or creator is Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Crafts. I love her fun fold cards, she is a super creative crafter and I wish she lived on this side of the big pond!! That and her cards are a little bigger so are great for that special someone you make a card special for. 
     I have done 4 of these cards now, this one was for a Friend and she absolutely LOVED it, I did one for my Daughter's Birthday, I did up a step by step instruction sheet so did one for that and then I did it with my Cards @ Home Facebook group. That gives me to that I can give to that special person!
     The same card can look so different depending on the pretty paper you choose to decorate with! this one was supposed to be just a card but once it was done, I knew I was giving it to my Friend!
     This is the one I did for my Daughter! Her favorite color is yellow so I thing I did pretty good and she was pretty happy considering it was a few days late! Her Birthday is on Boxing Day so it is a little hard to celebrate with anyone as they are usually still doing Christmas with Family. This year we are going to start celebrating her Birthday in July so I will be doing a bit of a Christmas In July project too. I will make a Folio of some sort so we can use it to remember her Birthday in July!
     I used to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator so I have lots of retired DSPs that I want to use up! They don't always work so well for making Memory Books so that is another reason I am glad to be back crafting! I am going to try and use up some of my stash in the Cards @ Home Facebook Group. I won't always have card kits but if you would like me to make up one, I will. I don't want to do up too many in advance because with this card you use about 2-3 sheets with left overs. 

Here is the one I did in the Cards @ Home Group!
     I think of all 4 so far, the Christmas one is my favorite though, it was the first one I made so that might have something to do with it! I'm not a huge flower person but this one is pretty nice too!

     If you find your way over to the Cards @ Home Facebook group, there are 3 Membership Questions that must be answered before you will be approved into the group. It is a very small group right now and I have just opened it up to allow those from outside my local community to join so please respect that it is a private group. I will be slowly getting files added to the file section of a few other cards I have done instruction sheets for.

Thank you so much for supporting me!!

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino! Some of the images are not Stampin' Up! but most of them are. The sets from Stampin' Up! are Best of Snow & Polar Party so far. I also used some Stickles for the snow and glitter on some images.  

Another Ultimate Pop Up Card

AKA Explosion Pop Up Card You may have to search multiple names for this style of card to find all the cards that others have made & posted. There are likely lots of instructions and video tutorials but I have made one for myself and posted it to the Card Instructions & Printables tab of my blog. Originally I watched the video done by Sam of Mixed Up Craft   and found it extremely easy to follow. However... I don't remember &%$@ so like to have a printable version of the cards I really like to make so I can do them again. I tend to forget sometimes where I originally seen something.       I will have everything I used in the Product List buy thought I'd just tell you that the only thing I used from the Magnolia Memory Dies is the pretty border die. Don't go looking to see anything else from that set cause that was it. Just need a little something to decorate the top.      Also the "Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Magno...
