Corner Flip card Best Wishes

Created this quick card for my son's friends who are moving out of state.
I used the newly corner flip card.

The tree is from Spellbinders the sentiment from Tim Holtz.
The paper is from my stash

The string of birds is a double die set also Spellbinders.
The sentiment is from SU.

Carriage diorama card

Played around with my new dies and wanted to make it three dimensional.

Sentiment from Stampin Up

Corner flip card

Saw this type of cut on YouTube and just had to try it

 Take traditional card however on the front you put it in your trimmer at 3" and place your cutting blade at the 5/8" mark and cut down to the 3" mark.
Turn the card to the inside (traditional opening and make the cut again.

 Flip the wedge you sliced down and you get the corner flip. Add a bit of adhesive to keep the flip down to the base. The pattern paper is 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

The leaves are a die set from Lawn Fawn, and the Thank you sentiment dies are from Tim Holtz 

Celebrate die card

Got this die in a surprise pack. Of the purchase price for the "surprise" box, not many dies I liked but thought I would give this a go.
Base card is yellow card stock and I placed two different colors behind the bottom flags. Raised the blue cardstock on foam.
Kinda cute for either male or female birthday card.

Double pillar step down card

To create a card to handle the star banner I had to devise a card that would showcase the stars.

After making a previous stair step card, I had to try to make one but in reverse.

Not too bad!
Think I'll use my creation more for banner type cards.

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

Heart of a shamrock card

Using a floral swirl embossing folder I applied that to yellow card stock.
Took a SU heart punch to create the clover and the branch from the bird punch to make the stem.

Sentiment from SU, the label from Spellbinders

Quick butterfly thank you

I wanted to send Allison a thank you card and as I was straightening out my craft room I came upon this background cardstock already die cut from a Tim Holtz die.

I then came across the butterfly Martha Stewart punch I was thinking of selling so I ended up punching a couple of the butterflies in white and the green (base card color) putting the 2 elements together and loved it! Added a little pearls for a small touch.

Sandpipers on the shore

Made this card for a friend who just released his first solo piano video. I can't wait for his album to be released.

Anyways,  it's called Sandpipers on the Shore so I was thrilled to make him a card..
Since I was at it I made 3 others.

the stamp set is from Stampin' Up and I just used a mask to sponge the sand and the sky! Super simple card. I layers the image on textured brown cardstock to replicate the sand.

Love is

I created a trio of little framed pieces not only due to Valentine's Day but also a favorite passage from the bible.

 The sentiments I printed from Google search

 I resized them to fit my opening in the cardstock / burlap covered frames

total size of frame is 3 3/4" x 4 1/2"
