Another Twist Turn Gatefold Card

Here is another Twisted Turn Gatefold card I have done for our local club.  Really like how it turned out!

Used retired paper called Kaleidoscope and the new February SOTM called Easter Bunny!
The paper just called for an Easter Card even though it is a little early!  

Hope you try it out!

Twist Turn Gatefold Card

Found another card technique to try from a website I follow!   It is amazing how people can come up with all kinds of different ways to make cards!  Kudos!  This technique is called Twist Turn Gatefold.  It did not take a lot of time at all!  Watch her video! 

 

I made this for a friend recovering from surgery!  Hope she likes it! 

Sorry for the poor quality of pictures.  Can't seem to get that perfected yet!  Not sure if it is user error or the camera!  

Hope you give this a try!

Twist and Pop Up Card

Found a tutorial on Pinterest and decided to give it a try!  It's called Twist Pop Up Card.

Here is my prototype!  Just wanted to see if I could do it!

It took a few hours to work through it but once you get the hang of it, it will seem easier.  

Can't wait to do a birthday card with this technique!

SO give it a try!

Get Better Soon!

Made a card inspired by either Pinterest or Facebook, I used the Get Better stamp set with our NEW Hello Lovely Paper Packet.  I used Glacier Cardstock instead of Sea Glass since it looked closer to the leaves in the pattern.

Had to add bling also!  Here's the result!
