Magnolia-licious free standing pop-up card

I seem to be trying all sorts of new things lately. This is my first free standing pop-up card. It was actually a lot easier to do than it looks. I made it for the Magnolia-licious challenge. The challenge was set by the lovely and talented Suzanne Dean. (http://magnolia-licioushighlites.blogspot.com/2010/07/july-2010-dt-sketch-project.html)

I used the Tilda stamp that I won in her candy for this card. The cardstock is Bazzil and the dp is Making Memories. I used my Martha Stewart punch to punch around the image. The image was coloured with my Copics and the ribbon and flowers are from my stash. I have a feeling I will be making a lot more of these cards. My granddaughters are crazy about them!

The next card was made for the Birthday club at school. The stamp is from Flowersoft. I just love that bicycle, it reminds me of one my mom had. (Hers was red though and she only rode it once! Very funny story, will tell you some day) The Cardstock is Bazzil again and the dp is My minds Eye. I just love those papers, its got glitter. Used Flowersoft for the flowers in the baskets and the ribbons are from my stash. Very simple card, but I like it.

A close up of the image, so that you can see the Flowersoft.

I am having trouble breathing the last few days, thats why I haven't been around much lately. School has also started so I am very busy too. Feeling a lot better today and hoping that the breathing will improve soon.

Have a great week everybody.

Beautiful bicycle.

This card turned out quite differently from what I thought it would, but I love it. I coloured the image months ago, but my Mojo upped and left at that point, so the bicycle waited patiently for mr. Mojo to return. I was looking for dp for another image when my eye fell on the bicycle and I realised that this dp was perfect. Dp is from My Minds Eye and the stamp from Flowersoft, the flowers are Flowersoft too. Cardstock is Bazzil and the ribbon is from my stash. I think that the bicycle was just waiting for the challenge over at Moxie Fab World to be made. (http://moxiefabworld.com/2010/06/moxie-fab-challenge-i-want-to.html)
The inside of the card, using my Martha Stewart punch (are you tired of it yet?) There will be tags in the pocket for everybody in the birthday club to sign.

The other side of the inside.

The next card was also made for the birthday club, so it will also have tags on the inside. The stamp is from a local shop, so no name anywhere -sorry. Paper is from my scrapbox. The background stamp is from Prima and the ink is Color Box. Ribbon is from my stash.

The inside of the card, using another Martha Stewart punch. (I have two now, so maybe you will see some variety - finally!)

Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. I am watching the England - Germany game on TV. Poor England have been denied a sure goal. It still is an amazing game to watch though.
Germany just scored - again! 3 - 1 to Germany now.
