Double Flip Corner Halloween Card

 

 

 

The tutorial for the Double Flip Corner card was found at frenchistamps.com and taken from a 2021 August tutorial for a fun fold panel card.  The background is one of the papers from Creative Fabrica Watercolor Halloween digital papers.  The sentiment in the middle is from (long ago) Graphics Fairy vintage collections and reads: "Come with me all hallows night; we'll frighten everyone in sight; such pranks for once are justified, and fun and frolic amplified."  I'm not sure where the tag came from, it was in my stash on a page of tags like this for Hallowee'n.  The tag is swinging from under the binder clip and floats when the card is opened. Finished size is slightly smaller than A2.

Pastor Appreciation

Our much-loved pastor, Ross Doyel,  has been through SO much in the past year that the congregation of Valley Presbyterian Church is showing extra appreciation to him for all he does on October 8th with a special Pastor Appreciation Sunday. Even the cards will be secreted away so he doesn't know this is  going to happen.

For this really pretty and very special card, I have followed the tutorial by Lisa Curcio for the THREE STEP Pop Out card. I have used Graphic 49's new 2023 Autumn kit this year called Hello Pumpkin  for the papers' the tiny oak leaves are a punch.

 

Fully open the steps (to faith) show Scripture, Tradition and Service

The wedding "card" for my one and only nephew is a two-fer.  It is created with black and white cardstock, Silver mirror paper,  Graphic 54 papers and elements from "P.S. "I Love You" Collection, and photos that I have collected from here and there for the past three or four years. The dieset I used is Karen Burniston's "Photo Collage Pop Up Dieset" Remember to click on each photo to see it fullsize

Halloween Interlocking Accordion Pop-Out Card

 I am using Laurie Furnell's kit "Halloween Vibes" (Etsy) for a project card for the Sun City Papers N Pixels Club for their October workshop/class. The card is inspired by Lisa Curcio's Interlocking Pop Out Card.   

Tablet Folios Revisited

 We have made many of these little purse sized notepad folios and they make great gifts. A fast and easy project that I will be demonstrating for the PapersNPixels club soon.  They are inspired by Michelle Allen of "A Creative Operation"

No embellishments--

Using Graphic 45 "Midnight Tales" collection paper pumpkin Patch on green cardstock.

Embellish or finish as you wish.

 This one was finished with "Watercolor Halloween Owls" from Creative Fabrica. 

Family of Owls by Renee Morales.  Inside above the pocket reads--

Advice form an old owl.  

Stay focused,

 be "whoo" you are,

 trust in a wise friend, 

live off the land,

 glide through the dark times,

 be observant

LIFE IS A HOOT

Yet another tablet folio--this is one of the 3x5, purse sized with flat pen, and used some SU Designer paper from my stash and Terracotta Autumn Flowers from Etsy. This one I made FOR MOI!

Hoppy Halloween

 This adorable  project uses Laurie Furnell's "Hoppy Halloween" kit available in her Etsy store.  The card tutorial for the "Double Flap" fun fold can be found at Lisa Curcio's Utube Channel The  plaid paper flap opens to a larger message (or graphic on the inside of this card)

Pop Out Accordion Card--Hello Ladybug

 

The Pop Out Accordion Card--Hello Ladybug was patterned after the tutorial by Lisa Curcio in her August 21, 23 Live Stream.  The Ladybugs are from Creative Fabrics--from Awkward Annie's studio called "Little Lady Bugs and Flowers.  The white dotted designer paper is from my stash of digital polka dot papers.

These watercolor owls are from Adobe Express

The paper is from Etsy "Primrose Planners" tartans and plaids called
Pumpkin Tartan Digital Plaids

I wasn't careful when I planned the way I framed the owls

Forgot to make them on a diamond instead of a square.

But I like how the card turned out even so

..and of course---everything was glued firmly 

in place so I couldn't change anything 

without starting over!

It is VERY attractive when it is open, don't you think?

Inspired by Lisa Curcio's Interactive Slide out Pocket Card,

this front cover contains a foiled sentiment from HoneyBee  Stamps

and a beautiful zebra from the Creative Fabrica Site, collection "Beautiful Animals"

This is a pop-up balcony card with a 3D effect--also inspired by Lisa Curcio's Stamp Studio

The inside sentiments read:  I asked the  Zebra, "Are you black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?" And the  Zebra asked me, "Are you good with bad habits or bad with good habits."

And

"There's no limit to how much you'll know---depending on how far beyond zebra you go"
