Angela's PaperArts: Birthday shutter and shaker cards

I made this shutter card for my sister's recent birthday.

When you hold the card base and pull up the tab at the top, the picture in the middle of the card flips over to form a different picture.  I've also placed the word "Sister" on this side too.

Here's the view of the card in both the closed & open position plus the back of the card (where I wrote my message to my sister).

I used dies from the Shutter Create A Card set from Snazzi Scrappin' to make this card. It's such a fun, interactive card to make.

I also created a shaker card using the same products for my niece's birthday who happens to play the violin. Again, it's a fun card to make with the sequins adding that extra touch to the card.

Angela's PaperArts: Column 90th birthday card

One of my family members was celebrating a very special birthday - his 90th birthday.  As the colour scheme for his celebratory birthday event was black, white & gold, I decided to make his birthday card to reflect these colours too.

Here's the front of the card.

It's a dimensional side column card and features the Stampin' Up! Modern Christmas specialty patterned papers - perfect for any occasion, not just Christmas. The "90" is from the Stampin' Up! Alphabet A La Mode die set.

Here's the side of the card showing the extra dimension.

Here's an overhead view of the card. My message to the recipient was written on the back of the card. The card can be folded flat for posting too.

The design of this card is based on a tutorial by Karen Foy and you can find her tutorial for creating this style of card here.

Angela's PaperArts: Chinese New Year card

I'd like to wish those celebrating the Lunar/Chinese New Year this week good health, wealth & happiness for the Year of the Horse.

This card was made for a friend celebrating the event. It's a 5"x7" card base size and uses a number of different products from my stash. I've kept to a Red, Gold & White colour scheme for this occasion.

Angela's PaperArts: Aussie Floating Hexagon pop out card

I made this floating hexagon pop out card for a friend's recent birthday. 

As my friend likes the colour green, I couldn't go past having an Aussie gum leaf theme for this card.  The cardstock I used to create the card base & gum leaves is Stampin' Up!'s Very Vanilla and Tranquil Tide. The patterned paper is from Scrapbook Fantasies' Aussie Christmas collection. 

Here's a side view of the card so you can see how the front panel 'floats' above the card.

I love that this card folds flat for posting. Here's an overhead view of the card which easily stands on its own.
