Happy Birthday Pop up card

I know I am really late on posting this. This is a card I made last weekend for my friend David. It has been in the post already so at least my card won't be late!! Hee hee!! ^_^

Cards for men are always a challenge but I am quite pleased on how it turn out. I have used A spoon Full of Sugar: Challenge 56 - Sketch By MichelleO for the lay out.



The original 'Chasing Edwin' Magnolia stamp, from the Chasing Butterflies 2009 collection, Edwin is holding a net. I have cut out the net and replaced it with a champagne glass. I guess you can replaced it with any thing to suit the occasion.
For inside of the card I have tried a pop out birthday cake. This took me a while to made it. The idea came from my daughter's pop up children book. I have to be honest it is not as easy as it looks!



Well, I do love this card and most of all hope my friend will love it too!!

A special card for you~

This is the second time I participate on Friday Sketchers challenge. This week's sketch is by Heidi from Norway:



I have enjoyed making this card and I think the sketch is great. I will sure use it again.

As my good friend Erin is going back to Taiwan tomorrow, I have made this leaving card for her and her family. I have paper pieced Tilda's dress and layered the oval shape and Tilda figure on sticky foam pads to give it a 3D look.



I hope she likes the card! It is so hard and sad to say goodbye...
We will give her our love and best wishes and know that she will be doing great in starting a new life in Taiwan. Take good care~

雅齡要加油哦~
真的很捨不得妳走,missing you already!
記得我們雖隔十萬八千里但也要保持不到三分鐘距離的友情喲!

For my Grandad...

My beloved Grandad passed away on 8th May 2009. It was a shocking news as it all happened so quickly. I believe he had a good 89 years of life and my love will always stay with him. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend his funeral in Taiwan. However, I made this card especially for him and luckily it arrived in time before his cremation. This card will be cremated with Grandad and I hope he has received it.

My Grandad loves orchids. He has a huge garden where he plants hundreds and hundreds of orchids. He also creates new breeds of orchids and won many awards. With sadness, I struggled to make the card as my mind has gone blank and no suitable craft material in hand. In the end, I made this simple card and hand drawn a picture of my Grandad's favourite flower- Orchid. Truly hope Grandad will like it.
