Just popped back to say "I've found a bag of ribbon" There may be pictures later, but first I have to menu plan and do an e-bay listing given that's it's free listing weekend.

Hi everyone - haven't been making cards for awhile, but have been bitten by the bug again. I have a lot of stuff, but need some inspiration though.

I have loads of people in my life having special birthdays this year, and wondered if anyone had any ideas for any extra special birthdays please?

PepPop

Whooo Hooo Congratulations CT Would you prefer a static or blinking button? (she says thinking blimmen heck I'd better get my finger out and go make you one..:eek:)

Jaz what about exploding cards? Sorry my brain is a bit fuzzy just now and can't think properly

jazabelle

Thanks for the suggestion PepPop! I haven't made an exploding card before. I will have a google, unless anyone knows of a good tutorial please? Or at least some nice finished ones so I can get an idea?

Be back in a sec.... Oh did you see the wedding one I posted the link for last night... off to have a look for you

I didn't, and can't see it now.

Is it this one? Or did it explode upwards?

Yay, well done CT1972

Jazabelle, what about a shaped card for a special birthday? Such as a tri-fold, exploding box... Loads of templates/instructions online. A few here and here x

We have an Anything Goes challenge over at Craft Your Days Away so please enter anything and everything, will be lovely if someone on here wins x

DS2's party was brilliant, everyone seemed to enjoy it and it was very relaxed, perfect :beer:

Ooh, they are all lovely, thank you!

It mentions a bone folder - is that needed? I guess I'm going to have to go shopping!

PepPop

What about something like this I've made this one but not blogged it yet and I've got the template for it if that's any use?

Here's another
This one is done like the matchbox advent calendars but with an easel card on top
This is a bought kit but I don't think it would be too hard to make your own version
Loads of pop up ones here
and some more HTH
