My second HELLO pop-up card

I wasn't satisfied with my first HELLO pop-up card. It seemed easy and my Cricut didn't cut the balloon neatly. I want to send a decent pop up card to my swap partner, so I started a second card for her. I'm more satisfied with my second attempt.

 

But then I noticed that I forgot to add the flowers. I added two flowers afterwards at the back of the pop up part of the card. For the worst, I forgot to take a picture after I added the flowers:((

The back of the card.

Handmade envelope
This card is also quite large, so I had to make the envelope. I found a nice 12x12" designer paper in my stash and here is my envelope.

HELLO pop-up card

A pop-up celebrate card using artfully sent cartridge. When I finished this card, I felt like...is this it? I wasn't too satisfied with the cuts and I thought the card was too simple.

 Handmade envelope
This is a larger greeting card, so I made envelopes to fit the cards. I didn't tried to make it using my Cricut or envelope board. I find it too much trouble to check the measurements for a suitable envelope. Making an envelope using my score board is a lot quicker, I think.

Bicycle

When I saw this art journal page swap with the bicycle theme, I had to join. Simply because I have never used the bicycle of the Artfully sent cartridge while numerous times willing to do so:) This was my chance and I know it will not take long and I will cut it again. The bicycle is a beautiful cut out piece of card stock, cut at 4". I guess that the thickness card stock did help. Awesome!

I embossed the edges of the bicycle a little bit to make the bike pop up, after I heat embossed the wheels. To make the bike pop up a little more, I added little pieces of foam tape at the back of the frame from the wheels. I also added cute flowerly doodles. Heat embossing the wheels was an easy, peasy job. Yes, most bicycle have black wheels. Do you agree with me? :))

Julie Nutting Prima Doll - Halloween #1

I am hosting swaps in which we use the Julie Nutting prima dolls. This is Olive, coloured with Copic markers; her shirt is cut out of the DCWV black paper stack. I added some ephemera I received from swappers, black lace ribbon, flowers, washi tape, rhine stones on her shoes and a rhine stone necklace. The spider web is from the Artfully sent cartridge and the fence is from the Artbooking cartridge. Her background with the moon, witch and Autumn leaves is patterned card stock.
