It's all about the movement!

Hi everyone

Thanks for popping in.

Time for a new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create.

This month, as always it will be Anything Goes. But obviously we always have a twist you can choose to use too.

This month the optional twist is

KINETIC CARDS

So cards with some movement in them.

There are dozens of different options to choose from but if you are stuck for ideas then why not pop over to Pinterest where you will find oodles of inspiration.

So, after visiting Pinterest (lol), I decided to make a pop out card.

This is a W Shaped pop out card so that's what I am calling it!

I followed a Stampin Up demonstration but as I don't have much in the way of Stampin Up products I used my Lili of the Valley with Raspberry Road Designs Paper Pad called Beach Bliss.

I love the aqua and kraft colours in this pad.

I chose two co-ordinating papers, one for the front and back and one for the insides.

Inside the card I used the same papers for the small squares and backed that onto black card so that it all co-ordinated.  

The butterflies I have had in my stash for ages and again I layered aqua over black.  

The flowers are from my stash and again were just the perfect colour.  I think I purchased these from Wild Orchid Crafts ages ago.  I know that they have been bought out recently and are back in business but I have not bought from them so cannot vouch for this new company.

Again the front follows the same colour theme except for the sentiment and the main butterfly I went for white on black to make it stand out a bit more.

The really diddy butterflies are stamped in the same papers and black card with a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

The circles and rectangles on the front were cut out using the Clarity Fresh Dies Picot Cut Nesting rectangles and nesting circles which you can find here.

I added a ribbon as a closure as this card does not close completely flat, again this is from my stash but would have been purchased from Crafty Ribbons, where you will find a veritable treasure of ribbons.

If you like this card and fancy having a go, here is the link for the You Tube video I followed.

So there you go.

I have made this card as a Card Swap for a Crafting Group I am in so I do hope my swap partner does not see it before it reaches her. Fingers crossed eh? Lol

Right I shall enter this card into the following challenges:
