Center Stair Step Children under a Tree card

I had a quiet evening to create a bunch of random cards.
This was one of them that I just bought.

I thought - how can I get the tree to have more dimension so I used the Center Stair Step card technique.

I used the grass from Elizabeth Craft Design - Garden Bench die set
I used the tiny butterflies from SU Stampin up.
The leaves are a very old punch.
The tree is raised up on foam strips

Double Panel Pop out cards

I made two of these cards with a new die I bought.
I've been wanting this die for years and glad this different company made it even better!

The first card is for my friend Louise who invited me to see Tim Hawkins comedy show. Loved it!

 This is what it looks like when it is fully closed. The card inside actually pivots!
 The below picture shows the card opened up

This shows the back of the card and the other side of the pivot. The panel you see on the left allowed me to write a sentiment to Louise and John.

While I was making one card I often will make the same card twice with a twist, this card I wanted to send to Kelsie for her first day back to work.

Birthday banner pop out card

I love this Elizabeth Craft Design Die set and it's rather fun and easy to make one of these cards.

This one I made for my daughter.

The sentiment are from Stampin Up.

I left the front plain as it will be dispayed open.

Baby Tri Shutter panel card

 My Pastor's wife gave birth to their 5th child, an adorable boy. He finally went home from the hospital and I took some time finally to create a card for them.

 I had several ideas and different card styles but settled on this Tri shutter panel card technique.

The baby items are from two different companies, one is Elizabeth Craft Designs (pacifier, PJs and bunny) which I had won last month at the Expo, and the other is from Jilli Bean Soup Hampton Art (Bird, cloud, umbrella) also bought from a vendor at The Expo.
The die cut words were cut singly using a QuiKutz die.
