Here are the two cards that was made at my March class. This first card is the peek-a-boo card. The way the image changes when you open the card reminds of me when I used to read books to my son. It's such a delight when you have moving parts that surprise you! This first picture is of the card closed.
Here's a shot of the card being opened and you can see the colored image starting to show (the excitement is building!)
Here's the card opened! Ta-da! The image changed from uncolored to colored in a split second! Fun, huh?!
Here's the second card we made. This card is called the suspension card. It is just like the gift card holder only thing is we put a surprise in the middle instead of a gift card (not that the gift card wouldn't be a surprise!). Here's the front cover. When I was working on creating this card, I colored so many of these cute skunks because the colors just didn't jive. I finally settled for Sahara Sand. I used the ink refill and my aqua painter to color it in. Pretty in pink for the stripes.
and here is the card open. The circles can twirl on that linen thread. How cool is that? Now I have to tell you that I got these awesome ideas from my blog idol, Dawn, from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. This girl totally rocks the blog world (to me anyway) and I'm happy that she is addicted to video tutorials. Seems so much better to watch a demo, ya know? Anyway, if you would like to learn how to make these two fantastic cards, hop on over to Dawn's blog here (Hi girlie!)
