Cards made in 2011

Another post showing everything I've done since february... lol... maybe I should start blogging a bit more often again.... Well, this time I just want to blog all the cards I made this... ehm... last year.
.
For Christmas I needed a few small things to give away, so I made these small post it note holders. They were really quick and fun to make.
Here you can see all the postit note holders I made....
This card was for my sister in law's birthday. She plays the guitar and she had just done a project with spiders at school... The left picture is the front of the card, and the right is a peek of the inside...
My niece was one in October.... this is the card I made for her.
This mermaid was for one of Maja's friend's birthday.
...and another mermaid for Susie's friend.
It's always hard to buy prensents for people that have everything... so for my mum's birthday I made her a set of five cards for different occasions. When I think about it, this was probably a stupid thing to do since she is one of the few people that buys cards from me on a regular basis.... The set consisted of:
A wedding card...
a new home card....
a happy birthday card...
another birthday card....
and a card with no sentiment...
they were all decorated on the inside as well...
I think she was pleased with the present, and I know that she has already given some of the cards away.
.
The next two cards was for Maja's friends too...

And way back in january last year, I made this sliding pop up card for some friends of ours that had a baby girl.
Well.... this was kind of short and sweet... lol... I guess I should have added what stamps (companies) and materials I've used but I can't really be bothered listing all that for all these cards. And I think that would have made for a really boring post as well....

Green and blue lion....

As I said a couple of posts down, I was home from work with a poorly child for two and a half days last week.... that gave me a little bit of cardmaking time while she was sleeping the fever off...
I just love this little lion freebie by Meljen's design. Soo cute and perfect for baby cards. This time I have used my green/lime and blue Promarkers to colour in with. I also attempted a double slider card. This card doesn't open up like "normal" cards, but you have to pull that little ribbon above the lion, and two panels slide out above and below the image.... like this:
Neat, eh? See how it works on one of my other double slider cards HERE.

A giraffe and a couple of challenges

Maja needed a card for her best friend's birthday party today, so I made one (of course....) And the best thing about this card is that I managed to enter it into two challenges as well... I'm so chuffed!
I used the sketch from the Stamp Something Challenge Blog, and the challenge over at Stampin' for the weekend is to use a digi stamp. The giraffe is a free digi stamp that I found HERE. This was my first time using a digi stamp. I think I prefer "normal" stamps, but that may just be because the printer didn't very much like the paper I wanted to print on... The letter stamps are from the "Flower Power Alphabet" from See D's. The letters and the tip of the giraffe's tail is mounted on pop dots for a 3d effect. And as usual... everything is coloured with water colour pencils.
If you pull that little ribbon at the top of the card, the giraffe and letters pop up and reveal a space to write your message on underneath.... It's been a while since I made a pop up card, so I felt it was about time....
Well, this'll have to do. Have a few things to do before my brother and his girlfriend arrives. They've just started their holiday and will stop and visit us on their way south....

Another slider pop up card

As I said earlier, there are a lot of birthdays these days... I have made another slider pop up card... this time for one of Susie's friends. (The white underneath the card is the envelope, if anyone was wondering....)


I really enjoy making these cards... sooo much fun, I'm sure there will be more. Ssshhhh... I'll tell you a little secret... I've bought some new stamps on ebay... and hopefully they're in the mail finding their way to me as we "speak"... Can't wait to get them... and make lots of new cards with them...

Double slider card...

Another one of my already stamped, coloured and cut out fairys has been used... This card, like the previous one, is for one of Maja's school friends. There are a lot of birthdays these days...
I found it so fun making interactive cards, that I wanted to try another style too... When you pull the ribbon on this card, a piece of card slides out from both the top and bottom of the main card..
Like this....(press play to see the card move):

Just a couple of close ups of the sliders...

You can pull the sliders quite far out of the card, so there was plenty of space for Maja to put her greeting above the snails...

Slider pop up card...

I promised to show the card I made with the stamped and coloured cut outs from my previous post, and here it is: Tadaaa... (the colour is all wrong... the card is more purple in real life, not blue as here)
If you pull that little ribbon at the top, the card topper will slide and pop up to an upright position... like this...
If I show it from the side, you can see the "mechanism"...
And here is one of the little fairys that I stamped, coloured and cut out a few days ago... I mounted her on 3D foam tape to make her stand up from the base...
I have stamped a "happy birthday" greeting in the space that is revealed when you pull the topper up... this is also where Maja put her message to her friend...
