More Organization – More Time for Crafting
This card doesn’t show well in a still shot. It really needs a video. When you pull the ribbon flaps flip over, one by one. There is a tree on each panel and each tree is a little more decorated. I’d seen the technique and was eager to try it. Worked great!

I love the way the Window Frame Framelits work with simple squares. The balloon’s propeller seems to spin on the tiny brad. This card was fun to make. Best of all, we helped support the Ronald McDonald Charities with the purchase of this stamp. Stampin’ Up! helps us make a difference.

Moving Forward Gate Fold 8-11-12
The joy fold technique on this card is easy, makes great use of paper, and looks pretty fancy. We took a bite of the Mouthwatering watermelon with a scallop circle punch.

Joy Fold with Mouthwatering 7-7-12
I just love these “flip flop” cards! With a little trick with the cutting plates on the Big Shot, use any die to flip back and forth. On one side, the car is empty. But with this 2-step stamp set, you can pack your car with gifts, balloons, or flowers, head off for surfing at the beach, or send a bride and groom off for their honeymoon.

This card folds flat, but has 2 panels that can be tipped up and propped open. It needs an image that without a definite top so the bottom image looks OK upside down, but it looks great sitting on display.

Double Twist Easel Card 5-12-12
This card uses simple slits and folds to add a 3-D pop to cards. We made them into a birthday cake and on the instructions you’ll see a wedding cake I made with the same method. I have also seen this technique used to make stacked birthday or Christmas gifts or baby’s building blocks. It’s all in the way you decorate it.
