Slider pop up card...

I promised to show the card I made with the stamped and coloured cut outs from my previous post, and here it is: Tadaaa... (the colour is all wrong... the card is more purple in real life, not blue as here)
If you pull that little ribbon at the top, the card topper will slide and pop up to an upright position... like this...
If I show it from the side, you can see the "mechanism"...

And here is one of the little fairys that I stamped, coloured and cut out a few days ago... I mounted her on 3D foam tape to make her stand up from the base...

I have stamped a "happy birthday" greeting in the space that is revealed when you pull the topper up... this is also where Maja put her message to her friend...

Card toppers

I've been playing around with my stamps and new watercolour pencils again... Stamping, colouring and cutting... It's always handy to have a few card toppers lying around for when I want to make a card...

The watercolour paper I used this time wasn't as heavy/thick as the last time I was stamping and cutting (for these cards here...) and that made the cutting part much easier... I'm not sure which paper I prefer though... the heavier paper made it harder to cut out small details, but then again it made the cut outs more sturdy...I've used one of these cut outs for a card already... I'll show you that another day... (I don't want to show it before the receiver has got it...)
