A simple exterior in Basic Gray and Crushed Curry

The front of the card is quite simple.  I used Smoky Slate Embossing Paste with the Pattern Party mask on Basic Gray card.  Then I simply added a few bits of ribbon, a bow and some Glitter Enamel Dots.

The inside of the card is another story altogether!

A double pop up card with traffic-laden streets!
 
The idea for this card came to me when I first saw the new Holiday Catalogue - specifically the Hometown Greetings edgelits.  However, since 3D is not in my comfort zone, I wanted to get started straight away.  So rather than wait until I could get those products, I used something I already had - the In The City stamp set.  I'll probably make another card with my original idea later.

I used Basic Gray cardstock for the roads and drew the lines with my Chalk Marker and a ruler.

I stamped two rows of buildings, coloured and fussy cut them in two strips.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the vehicles and attached them to the road with pieces of Window Sheet (attached to the back of the vehicle and under the road through a slit).

The side view gives a better idea of the dimension and the pop up mechanism

The base card is Basic Gray and the Double Pop Up mechanism is made with Soft Sky cardstock.  I added a strip of Emerald Green to hide the pop up mechanism.  I could have placed the first row of houses at that level but I wanted to maximise writing space.

    1. Thank you, Kim! That's probably my primary use for window sheet - although maybe I'll make a few more shaker cards for Christmas.

    1. I think I found it in one of your tutorial images. Am I right? I would not have noticed if you didn't say anything :)

    1. Thanks, Kirsten. The fussy cutting isn't too bad (otherwise I wouldn't be doing it!) - the houses are all in a row, so just needs cutting around the roof line.

  8. Love that stamp set and wish it would have been one of the regular sets in the cattie rather than a hostess, because so many of my customers want it but not willing to host to get it. Your card is absolutely awesome. Great job! Thanks for the wonderful instructions on the pop up construction. I'm going to try this.
