cookiedough, that's beautiful. I know what you mean though; looking at everyone's cards on here always makes me feel like an amateur!

thankyou for the lovely comments is was fairly complicated to put together but only because the instructions weren't very clear and I kept forgetting them and had to keep running back downstairs to watch the video again I got it from here http://www.crafts-beautiful.com/site/index.php/download/3_d_pop_up_vase_card_template/ someone posted a link the other day as there are some free down loads on there.
cookiedough38 your card looks fab and I'm sure your mum will love it.

lovely card rusty, I did look at that style but wasnt that brave! How difficult was it?

Brilliant challenge rainmac, its my first but has definately encouraged me to be more confident with trying something different out.

Rustyflange - that is gorgeous!! What is the paper range called - I haven't got that one and it looks fab!!!
Cookiedough - great card, I love how it folds up!!
Dragonflew - a great selection of cards. My favaourite is your pop up card - was it hard to do?? It looks like it must have taken you ages!!
Saint_Chris - your cards are beautiful, I love this range, I think I might be tempted to buy myself a pack of these.
Rainmac - thanks for posting the challenge - those links are really helpful!!

ZLS - fabulous book card - really pretty, bright colours. I found it quite tricky to do.

cookiedough38 you beat me to it!! I am trying to make that one for my mum, practised yesterday with some paper, it's quite simple once you've cut it all out isn't it. Looks great and I hope mine turns out just as nice.

CookieDough - It was so easy that I could manage it and that says something :rotfl: I struggle with cards which are not card shaped but I made one of these the other evening and it was easy so I made another for my challenge seriously though it is easy

Thankyou Melissa, the paper range is Mellow, on the outside is flavourful, on the square in the middle is equinox, then the one with trees is deciduous and the one with little kids is settle down ....

I will send you a PM
