This is a thank you card for someone that really helped me out last week and since she is a hugh cat fan I decided to use a cat theme for the card. It's simply decorated since it's my first try at this. What do you think? Should I add flowers? More glitter? Coloring around the words? I just can't seem to decide.
This is the card closed. I used Prismatics Island Mist Medium cardstock. I love the subtle texture and weight of this product. I'm having problems finding this cardstock now and I'm hording my stash!
When the card is fully opened a new picture appears in the window. I glittered over the text. Of course I forgot to turn off my fan when I sprinkled the glitter and now my room, cat, dog, and desk are very glittery! LOL
Here is a shot of the card as it is opening. See how the hidden panel begins to move into place?
This is the top view of the hidden panel. I am sure to be making more of these type of cards!
Oh Pam, that is the cutest card I have ever seen (well, one of the cutest) It is just toooo cute. I have to agree, it does look like it might need something, I don't know what because I love it the way it is... I love the sentiment.. there seems to be too much space between the senitment and the opening.. but it looks so cute the way it is.. I am not much help. Was it hard to make??? I would love to make one. Would you share the directions???
ReplyDeleteI still have to make one of the calendars... I printed out to make 4 (I think I printed them to be for next year- hoping I can make one before the year is over. Once I get Alex's books done, then I will be able to do them.. Well, now that I have wrote a book here. LOL.. I miss seeing your beautiful creations my friend. Stay in touch (non2@sbcglobal.net). Let me know if you do anything to the card, it's adorable the way it is.
Pam, I have left you something on my blog...
ReplyDeleteWould still love to have the instructions for this lovely card...
Wow! Another adorable idea and of course I love the kitty! Just fabulous! xxD
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I've watched Dawn's video several times, but your pictures really explain this card and make me want to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYou think it needs something? Actually it is just fine the way it is. However, from watching the video, I'd just make a larger opening and larger matching scenes. Guess that is determined by the bit of the paper punch!
Agan, great card. Carol
