Fun Fold Birthday Cards

This is a different style card that I made for my SIL's birthday next week. Since she has a November birthday, I felt Graphic 45's sunflowers were a perfect match for her birthday month! We have had a beautiful fall here in the Northeast but it is starting to get a little chilly. Thankfully, the sun is still shining! This style card is called an Inside-Out Stepper Card. If you go to youtube and search for Inside-Out Stepper Card, you will find tutorials on this style card. There is plenty of room on the back for the sentiment as pictured below.
My next birthday card has a couple of names for it. It is called Triple Floating Diamond Card or Triple Pop-out Diamond Card. This was a fun, fun, fun card to make. My BIL's girlfriend's birthday is coming up at the end of this month. Since they live on the West Coast, I had to get it in the mail. This style card is much like the Flying Geese cards but it has 3 panels.
Here are a few more pictures of this style card. The best part is decorating this card. I am always amazed by these style cards and who created them. I am so thankful for all of the tutorials for different style cards. I love my hobby!!!

Welcome November!

Our Japanese Maple Tree is in full bloom now! It is beautiful every year at this time! Love Fall! We had a very successful Craft Fair last weekend. We met some people that we have seen before and some new people. They all loved our items. It is always a fun way to start November each year.
Our friends son and his wife finally were able to adopt the 2 girls that they have been waiting for several years to do. We are so happy for them. I made a Family Tree adoption card for them with all their names on the tree. Beautiful Family!
These trifold angled cards are my new obsession. I have made a few of these and it is perfect for any occasion and gives you lots of room for decorating and also sentiment. This one is for a friend's birthday coming up. I used Graphic 45's Woodland Friends. Enjoy November everyone!
