Interactive Camera Shaped Mini Album

Hi friends, sharing an Interactive Mini Album in the shape of a Camera made with Crealies dies and gorgeous papers from Graphic 45

It is quite a chunky album with the spine measuring around 2 inches in width and each page around 6 x 4 inches at its widest dimensions. The spine, front and back are made of chipboard and on the cover is a shaker lens with tiny glitter balls and tiny flower sequins.

I made the album in a wildlife adventure holiday theme using Graphic 45's Safari Adventure and Nature's Sketchbook

Added quite a few interactive pages inside the album which you can see in the video

In the side view you can see the cute camera shape of all the pages

Here is the video showing all the interactive pages

I hope you liked the ideas

Jar Shaker Cards

Hi friends...sharing fun shaker cards in a Jar/Bottle shape

Crealies "Cardzz" dies are perfect for making shaker cards as the size is big and there are usually frame style inner dies to easily create the shaker frame

To make these shaker Jars,I die cut 2 jars from card stock, 1 from acetate and 4 from pattern paper. The set has 2 inner dies for layering or creating frames and I made 3 frames from pattern paper, card stock and foam

The base was created using pattern paper and card stock and I added the foam frame atop it

I added a trio of dangling butterflies inside the jar by sticking butterfly diecuts dangling from threads onto the foam frame. Layered the card stock frame atop it ...put in the shaker elements and sealed with an acetate Jar to create my shaker

The flower is a simple stacked flower made using Crealies dies

I just had to add some foliage and pollen to complete the card.

The big berry pollen is my favourite...it looks good enough to eat!!!

To match the dangling butterflies I added dangling crystals on the neck of the jar.

I ran out of crystal hearts and so used a butterfly button dangler on this one

I had so much fun making these shakers I made them in different colours!

Batch production is sometimes fun as you don"t have to think too much about the design but just enjoy the creation process !

The 2nd orange jar is quite similar to the first one except that it has 2 dangling button butterflies!

The butterflies were a find from a local craft store and they look sooo cute!

Since I love making flowers I hardly ever use store bought flowers in my projects but I do love to buy the pretty flowers when I see them in a shop...which is kinda crazy!! So for the blue jar I used a pretty flower I bought from a local shop!

Added a beautiful butterfly button on the neck of the jar!

I decorated the inside of all the jars with pattern paper.

I hope you liked my Shaker jar cards !

Birthday Gift set

Hi friends...sharing a card and gift set I made for a crafter friend for her birthday . I made a satchel bag shaped Pop Up Card , shaker book and a matching shaker bookmark

The bag shaped card was made using Crealies Cardzz die and lovely papers from the Indian brand Dress My Craft . It is the same die I used to make the Stationery set in this post: DIY Stationery Set

On opening the card Birthday balloons pop up to wish my friend a Happy Birthday ...and I wrote her name too!

Here is the back side of the card

Here is the matching shaker book I made using my new Fuse tool.

Slider Pop Up Card

Hi friends, excited to share a project with the new Word die from Crealies "PARTY". This is one huge die with 3 layers...a shadow outline and 2 individual letter layers. I used the innermost and the outline dies to create this interactive slider Pop Up Card .

Above the "Party" are lots of balloons and cute puffy clouds to set a celebratory mood!

I used papers from 2 Indian companies...the blue polka dot design is from Papericious and the Unicorns are from Dress My Craft

The clouds and balloons float above the "Party" as they are attached to acetate strips.

Here is how the card looks when you pull up the slider .

You can see a hidden panel where you can add a message ...it would be great to add details of an invitation for a party , a new year greeting or a birthday message. I just added a cue unicorn theme paper inside.
