Accordian-style card

So this is my second video tutorial, I actually really loved this card and thought that it was so easy that everyone should be able to do it:) Also, if you want to write a message on the card, I usually write it on the back because it is a photo card and you don't want your message to be in the way.


Thank you crab (quilling card)


This card was really basic. The crab is made from a technique called quilling, and if you are interested I recommend this website:http://www.handcraftersvillage.com/quilling.htm
Anyway, I started by making the crab out of an orange-ish piece of quilling paper. I rolled the first 8 legs, and then made the same shape for the front claws, but put them in a three-some. For the body, I rolled three pieces of paper together, and the assembled the crab. After the crab was fully dry, eyes and all, I took my color changing markers and wrote "Thanks" across the rest of the room.

Tri-Shutter Card

Here is my first video tutorial!!!
It is on the Tri-shutter card that I made for my student teacher:

Mrs. Calise's Accordian Card










Heyo!! Over the weekend, I made this cute card for my student teacher. Today is her last day
(awww) and so I thought that I could try this card. I started with a 5 1/2" by 12" piece of card stock. (light green). Then, I scored straight down at 2", 4", 8", and 10". Next, I folded the score lines forward and backward just like the picture shows. Using the measurements in the layout picture (top left)**, I stamped, cut, and glued all of the pieces onto the original 5 1/2" by 12" piece of green paper that I started with. After all of it was glued on, I opened and closed it to make sure that it worked, and then wrote my message on the far right panel.
