End of August Birthday!

A Birthday Card for my sister, Andrea. Her birthday was last week and I used Tim Holtz barrel die with his flowers. Her daughter's birthday is the same day so they get to celebrate together. Such a special celebration for both of them every year! Happy Birthday Andrea! I'm obsessed with the book folding technique. Here is the hedgehog version. Love that I had this little hat for him! He is adorable!

More Projects and Cards!

I am having fun with the book folding techniques. On Pinterest there have been some really cute witches. I decided to make one too! Her hat is from black felt which I made to fit her head. Her broom was pretty easy to make too. The book/dress is inked and then sprayed with Prima Marketing purple sprayed mist. My centerpiece for Halloween is done!

Rocker cards are a fun style card to make. I think I will make more of these. My brother-in-law's birthday was last week and I always do a golf card but had to do something different this year. Love how this came out! Happy Birthday Tom!

My Birthday!

My Birthday was on the 11th so I am late posting this but the flowers I received were so beautiful! The cards I received were beautiful too!

Today is our good friend's birthday and he loves to hike! He grew up in Fryeburg and he knows the White Mountains like the back of his hand. I think he has hiked most of them and can name them by just looking at them from the ground. We have done many National Park trips with them. Happy Birthday Dennis!

Here is another book folding idea which was a little trickier than the first 2 I made because you have to cut out the area where the tealight sits. Thanks for stopping by. August is flying by.

Greenhouse for his Birthday!

Our good friend is building a greenhouse and he is really excited about it. I'll have to share pictures when he is done so I made him a greenhouse birthday card. It was made with a window die and Stampin up stamps. The style is a tent card and I added the awning which was the perfect spot for his birthday greeting and the sentiment is on the back. Below are more pictures of the back and a closer look inside the greenhouse. Happy Birthday Brian!

I have seen these book folded Christmas trees and angels. There are so many different images that you can make with these folded books but here is a couple that I thought was cute to do.

There are tutorials on youtube and Pinterest to make these. It is a great craft to do in front of the TV because it does take some patience. It is best to use a book that has at least 200 pages. I am working on a candle which is a little different in the folding but I am loving how it is coming out. Enjoy!
