Fold-out Pop up card

Extreme Cards and Papercrafting is my kind of blog! I love working with cards, especially anything with a pop up or moving part. I'd never seen a fold out card like this before, where the card opens like a flower, so i had to have a go at making it. I think its fab, but cutting out all those little stars nearly cut off the circulation to my finger tips!

Shame its not anyone's birthday soon is all... maybe i'll save it for Lovely BM later in the year

Alphabet pop up book

I went on a fab pop up course at Shepherds Falkiners in london last year and ive been working on a pop up book since then, trying out all the techniques i learnt. I wanted to do the alphabet as its simple shapes and theres lots of them and also i had the most beautiful animal alphabet pop up book as child which is still one of my most treasured possessions.
I made each letter on card first and then bound them together with linen thread
I love how it turned out, its like my pop up reference book that i can refer to whenever im at a loss

Eye love you card

Lovely BM and I dont do Valentines day but we do try and be nice and treat each other throughout the year. Ive been making lots of pop up cards and moving cards recently, i'll posts some pictures when im done, so i thought id use my new found skill and make him a little card. Its inspired a bit by Indiana Jones, but even BM had to have that link explained to him so maybe its only me that remembers that bit!
Happy non Valentine's specific declaration of love day xx
