I'm back with card, this one is for my sister (in-laws) 30th Birthday. I wanted to do something extra special as it was a big birthday and I took to pinterest and youtube for inspiration and came across loads of Twist and Pop cards, which apparently were a craze about a year ago. Clearly I missed that one! anyway I found a really good tutorial on youtube which meant I didn't have to have such a big mechanism inside - you can see it here
I set out with very little real design in mind but this was the outcome:
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
4 Crafty Chicks - Anything Goes
Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Anything Goes
Seize the Birthday - Ocean Colours (Blue, Green or Aqua) [I hope the splashes of cream and orange don't count against this]
Crafty Gals Corner - Anything Goes

Oh I saw this one and did wonder about having a try but then life got the better of me, but it looks stunning, did you find it easy to do Naomi...well done..xx
ReplyDeleteThe worst bit is assembling the pop mechanism, I actually found it easier to attach the concertina bit to the mechanism first and then glue it to the card. The first couple of attempts ended up jamming. I would suggest a re-positional glue if you have one, so you can have a couple of attempts before it sticks entirely
DeleteGorgeous creation!
