Hi friends sharing a simple card featuring a stamped rose , colored in shades of purple in support of  the " The Hop to Stop  " Domestic Violence. Symbolically I added a heart trapped under a fence just like many ladies trapped in an abusive relationship But a victim can find courage and become free like the butterflies soaring over the fence and the beautiful rose growing up from under the fence and blooming free in the sky!

Christmas Pop Up Card         Hi friends, sharing a special Interactive Christmas Card which is my DT project for Rudolph Days Challenge   a special Challenge where you can enter your Christmas projects from the 25th to the 30th of each month year long!!        My Christmas card has 3 pop up layers and Santa sliding across the snowy landscape in an aeroplane! Christmas Pop Up Card        The background  has snow falling in the deep purple sky, a cute smiling star and a playful Santa waving from his abode on the moon! Christmas Pop Up Card           I don't have a lot of stamps to create a background scene so made a simple snowy background by using a stencil and white gesso  on purple cardstock! Stencilled background  Gesso has a little bit more bulk than white paint so yeah I was happy with my snowfall!!...

Butterfly Pop Up Card             Though I love making Pop Up Cards , the V fold is  one pop up mechanism I find quite tricky...either I misjudge the angulation or the distance the pop up will rise! And this one too is far from perfect...the Butterfly pop up in the center is leaning in far too much! Butterfly Pop Up Card   But coming to the positive points, I do love this gorgeous large butterfly which I colored in  shades of purple and pink . It is rather a special butterfly as it was sent to me by Mrs A for winning her Butterfly Challenge . Hooray for the generosity of the crafting world!! Butterfly Pop Up Card  I inked up the lovely  floral pattern paper with seedless preserve Distress Inks and added a purple embossed heart and silver butterflies. Butterfly Pop Up Card  My card is made for " The Hop to Stop  domestic violence" and symbolically I added a b...

Circus Pop Up Card         Hi friends I love to decorate the inside of my cards with pop up elements and this happy circus themed card is made to make someone feel happy!! Circus Pop Up Card          I made the banners by gold embossing Winnie and Walter True stamps and die cutting with a Spellbinders banner die. I used Distress Inks   to shade the banner elements , the edges of the pattern paper and the "wonky square" on which the darling hippo is doing her juggling!! Circus Pop Up Card  My "Happy" was die cut from designer glitter foam using  Winnie and Walter Happy die  and the lovely faceted ball beside it was made using  Winnie and Walter True stamp and coloring with Distress Inks  . Circus Pop Up Card I hope you like my "happy" Circus themed Pop Up Card . Supplies : Dies :  Winnie and Walter Happy Cutaway , Spellbinders Wonky Squares,S...

Piano Pop Up Card          I love making Pop Up Cards and this brightly colored music themed Pop Up Card has lots and lots of layers and fun pop up elements.The central pop up has a grand piano and I added side pop ups for a  trumpet and harp . Piano Pop Up Card            This pop up card has 3 pop up layers and the front most layer has a celtic die cut design running across the breadth of the card with musical notes  and an embossed purple heart. Piano Pop Up Card           Silver musical notes float up from each pop up element and glimmer beautifully when you open and shut the card. This is one card I wish you could see in person!
