Birthdays are always fun! They're are even more fun when everyone can get together. My daughter's birthday and my mom's birthday are one day apart, so we tend to celebrate them at the same time. I made this card for Lauren. I sent it to her in Wichita, because we didn't get together until a week after her birthday. So I thought a paper hug would be fun!
I'm calling this card design a Z Fold Window Pass Thru card. The Z fold part of the card is pulled through the opening of the base card. I like making cards that are a little different from the standard fold.
I think this mouse kind of looks like he's opening his arms for a hug. The mice are simply colored with copics and a couple of Staedtler Fine Liners for the little details like eyes, noses and glasses. I've got a video below on making a Z Fold Window Pass Thru Card. It's not hard at all!
Hi,there! Oh, my gosh. I've been so busy! I had one of my show and sales that I had to get ready for, HAD to have fun with Louisa and had to finish an order of 5 haunted houses and 5 halloween lanterns by today. Phew! Here are a couple of cards I finished earlier. Love these! Double Square Overlap Window cards are fun and easy to do. I've got a video for you below.
It's really cool how the squares overlap and how just a little bit of the image shows in the squares and then...
opening the two flaps reveals the entire scene. Isn't she sweet? A Little Miss Muffett character you can download below. I embellished a bit with some stamps colored with copics.
The Christmas one is just delightful with the gold embossed left side and the fun pattern of the right side. And then...
a Meowy Christmas! (This stamp set is from last year - I couldn't find it available anywhere.) Here's the video:

Still have lots of goodies to make for orders from my show and have to make Louisa's birthday invitations over the next couple of days. Shouldn't be too hard! The Double Square Overlap Window card would work for just about every occasion. I'd like to find time to make a few more. Are you going to make one?
"Thank you from the bottom of my flowerbed!" I think that sentiment is so cute. It will be available as part of the Paper Sweeties new release on May 15th.
Look at that cute outfit on Abigail. I part paper pieced it and part colored it with copics. The flowers in and on the windowbox, as well as the watering can are all part of the new release. I cut off Abigail's right arm (I know - that sounds terrible) and then glued it back on bent just a little so it would look more like she's holding the watering can.
Join us at the Paper Sweeties Blog to see more sneak peeks of the May Release. (I'll share this at Make it Monday.) Have a wonderful week!
