Waterfall cards...

While I was browsing for ideas of moving elements (again with the moving elements :)) I came across this great idea for a waterfall card. Of course I don't have any cutting dyes but I still managed to come up with this very simple card - just pull the red tag to read the message:

I hope you liked this simple quick card. I'm including it in the following challenge:

Картичкофурийско предизвикателство 215 - Картичка с движещ се елемент

Next time I make something similar I hope I can do the hidden message type because I'm getting a dye cutting machine for my birthday (YAY!!!) and it will be very easy with it.

Moving elements (Attempt 2)...

It turned out is was really easy to make the first card so I decided to create another one.

Attempt 2

The idea here is that the butterfly flies from one daisy to the other. Unfortunately it sometimes gets stuck in the petals and you have to help it a little to travel to the flower :).

I'm including it in the following challenges:

A Circle flip up book

This idea I found again while I was looking for inspiration for a card with moving elements. You can find the link here and it's a really easy project to make. In the video they use a special circle cutting tool, but I cut my circles using a tea cup plate and scissors. All that is left is to embelish it.

And now I'm off to choose my birthday present :)

Moving elements (Attempt 1)...

Today's topic: Moving elements. I was inspired by a challenge and decided to test if I can make a card with moving elements. I ended up doing 3 of them and it turns out it is really fun to have an interactive element on your card. You should have seen how my boyfriend plays with the large spinning flower :).

Attempt 1

I've left the pink strip blank for writing or stamping and since my birthday is coming up in just a week I plan to treat myself to a few stamps with text :)

I'm including it in the following challenges:

No moving element

While I was looking through videos on how to make moving elements I found several interesting tutorials and I tried them out. So here is my first attempt at an interesting fold for a card.

 I will add a square piece of paper inside with a text later to complete the card.

You can see the tutorial here.

A week's break (Part 4)...

Here is the last project for today

Lilac spring

I love how this one turned out. I used the scheme of a card I did last month and I really liked how it turned out. I wasn't sure if the satin ribbon will look good because I did the previous project with organza ribbon, but it turned out great. I inked the edge of the circle center piece with lilac ink and added two butterflies (stamped with black ink).

I'm adding one picture without using the camera flash and one with the flash. Again I promise to take a picture of the card in the daylight and update the post. I'm including this one in the following challenges:

Simon Says Animal Antics - because of the two pretty butterflies :)

Off to bed now...
Update:

As I promised I took a picture during the day:

A week's break (Part 3)...

Scraps

So I made this card out of small pieces of designer paper I had left from other projects. I got tired of taking them out of the pack and then back again because I couldn't figure out what to do with so many scraps. And I just couldn't bring myself to throwing them out. So today I finally decided to just glue them together and see what happens. I can't say it's my favorite card but it is interesting :)

I'm including this one in the following challenges:

A week's break (Part 2)...

I particularly liked the Cards Addicted challenge about using specific colors set by Irina because I adore the colors she chose. Make sure you check out her blog - she has some amazing stuff over there.

Yellow and Roses

So here is entry 2 for the Cards Addicted challenge and you will have to excuse me for the picture quality - I forgot to take a picture during the day:

I will try and retake the pictures tomorrow and update them, but for now this has to do :).

A week's break (Part 1)...

After a week's break from crafting, I wanted to share a few more projects. But first I want to boast :)

I've been selected as part of the Cards Addicted Trio of the week for their 212 challenge (March 28 - April 7). Yay!!! Now I'm going to try and add their banner and I hope I don't mess it up because it's the first time I'm doing something like that :)

After that is done, here are some of the projects I did in the past week:

A card and Easter Egg basket

I've done four of those Easter Egg basket but I took pictures of two of them. And I must say I'm becoming quite the master at making them :). This one in particular I did for a good friend of mine together with the card and the small tag inside. There was no particular occasion, she is just a very sunny person and I wanted to make her happy :)

Again I've used my favorite designer paper pack Dovecraft's Garden Party. I'm including this egg basket in the following challenge. I know it's not a card and if Kristen over at Scrap Creations decides it doesn't fit the challenge, please feel free to remove it :)

Going Grey with Scrap - Creations Challenge: Easter

Here is the card that goes with the Easter Egg basket. Again a common theme - the paper pack :). I also added white paper flowers and inked the edges so that they coordinate with the paper. And I added a bright yellow center piece.

I'm including this one in the Cards Addicted Challenge 214:
