The challenge this week at http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/ is create a card that is anything but square shaped. All sorts of ideas have gone through my head - christmas stockings - crackers - etc, but when I saw this amazing fold up/stand up card in this month's Making Cards magazine I just had to give it a try.It was great fun to do and fits in to a C5 envelope (although if you are following the measurements from the magazine cut the strips to 14cm rather than 16 cm).
The card also fits the challenge at http://tandastamps.blogspot.com/ where we are asked to make cards for kids. The card is for my daughter Laura (okay she is 23 but if she sees that I have made a halloween card for Shelley and not her then she will throw a genuine 5 year old type tantrum).
This photo shows the mechanism to make the card stand up.
Then by simply pulling the side tabs the card lays flat to go in the envelope. Thank you so much to Glynis Clark who originally designed the mechanism for the magazine. I shall be using this time and time again.
Materials used:- Tanda stamps
- black card
- black corrugated card
- white card
- hand drawn bat (wow!!!!)
- water colours and sakura stardust pens
- unknown sentiment stamp
