telescoping card

Hi my friends.  This is just a really quick post. The Classroom (Ellen Hutson) is offering an opportunity for a class that is all about special folds, pop-ups, etc.  I wanted to link one I had done for a class and had not shown.  This is a fun telescoping card.  Here is another one done some time ago.  Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by.

Is it snowing?

Hello, my friends.  We've had a few days with some cooler temperatures, but no - not snowing.  I did, however, make a snowman today.


The technique challenge on SCS today was telescoping cards.  When I taught this technique last month, I knew I was going to have to make a snowman and today's challenge was the perfect opportunity.

I started by die cutting three circles of different sizes from white card stock.  I sponged the edges with cool caribbean and bashful blue ink.  (The photo makes it look a lot brighter than it actually is.)

I cut the hat, nose, and scarf freehand.  I decided to leave off any stick arms, so there would not be a problem with them catching as the card was opened or closed.  I used several small punches for the accents

The circles are connected togther with brads.  I really liked how it turned out and it was fun to make. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you all have a wonderful weeks.
