Christmas "tadaaah!" cards

they're really called "pop-up" cards because of it's extra surprise once you opened them =)

i made my first tadaaah! card (lol) on Dec 17 and enclosed it with my Christmas gift for my boyfriend. it's just simple but nothing can go wrong with quilling; it'll give your projects a magic touch.

:: cover page

:: added cut-outs from a Christmas gift wrapper

the second card was given to Nice's godfather as a thank you gift for Christmas...

 

 

making your valentine's day more special

i didn't have enough time to make Christmas cards so i'm doing this project for Valentine's day instead.

now that i'm comfortable making tri-shutter cards, i did 3 samples for sale and sent this home. sam (my boyfriend's sister) will take care of the upselling for me or i'll end up giving these cards for free. lol

i hope we can make 3 baybayanons' Valentine's day more special with our cards.

Advance happy heart's day everyone !

:: we've added an "instruction" to post a photo on the last fold of this card

a try in tri-shutter cards :)

tri-shutter cards are special fold cards which would allow you to combine your quilling and scrapbooking techniques.it looks complicated and i was thinking i'd be wasting a lot of paper before i could perfect the steps. then, i found this video in youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su-3T3sd4r0 and finally had the courage to try making one on my rest day.

since i have problems remembering the steps (unless i write them), i would follow what the host is saying in the video. e.g. "first fold up, second one down..." i know it's funny but this works for me.  lol.

here are some of the tri-shutter cards that i made for my friends on their birthdays:

:: happy birthday gel!

 

:: added a few stickers inside

:: twum's birthday card

:: inserted one photo on the 3rd fold

 this might just be a simple card but it'll mean a lot to someone if it's made from the heart *wink*
