A-Maze-ing Birthday

(inside: Hope it’s a-MAZE-ing!)

This interactive card is a variation of a shaker card – instead of the usual sequins, confetti, or other small items that are fun to shake, this window pouch contains a plastic maze that is fun to tilt and turn to get the ball to the finish.

The maze and metal ball, the shaker pouch, and the dies to cut the window and frame are all from My Favorite Things.   There is a coordinating stamp set as well, although the stamps I used are custom made from rubberstamps.net.

The band across the front was cut with dies from the Gina K Designs Fabulous Label Die Set.  The card stock used is Papertrey Ink Rustic White, Gina K Designs Tranquil Teal, and Authentique Together (#CEL002) from the Celebrate collection.  The ink is also GKD Tranquil Teal.  (Not sure why the ink and card stock look so blue in the photos; I tried multiple times, with no success, to get a pic with the accurate color.  Hmmm…)

Thanks for checking out my card project!

CAS Make a Wish

Here is a Clean And Simple card made with all white card stock.  I used an embossing folder, some inked panels for the mats, and a fun greeting panel that I created by stamping and rotating 4 times in my MISTI.  Super easy!

The greeting stamp is from a set called “Fairy Wishes” (unbranded?) which I cut to separate the words from the wand/dandelion image.  The candle is from a set called “Happy Birthday Stamps” (ms. sparkle & co.) that I found in a $2 bin at Joann Fabrics a while back.  The embossing folder is unbranded.

Birthday Cake Pop-Up Card

Yesterday, I posted a palm tree pop-up card made with one of Karen Burniston’s die sets, and here’s another pop-up design created with her “Cake Pop-Up #1028” dies.  (She has soooo many cool die sets!)

You can create any size card (at least 3 1/2″ – to cover the cake when the card is closed).  My card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.  The set includes dies for cutting a bride, a groom, or candles for the top of your cake as well as “icing” for each layer.  Her assembly video for this set is excellent so making this card is “a piece of cake!”

Here’s what my card looks like when it is closed.

I used heavy weight white card stock for the card base along with Gina K Designs “Blue Lagoon” and layering weight white.  The chevron pattern is “Perky #2000” by Fancy Pants Designs (retired?) and the yellow polka dot pattern is “Horizon #374026” by American Crafts.

The balloon die and stitched rectangle dies were both unbranded.

This card folds flat and fits in a regular A2 size envelope for mailing.
