FM157 Free Standing Pop-Up Card

Today's Friday Mashup Challenge is right up my alley! I love making funky fold cards and it was about time I made another. This is my first time making this style of Funky fold but it was easy and I love it! I love how it opens up and is so much fancier than it originally looks. The card also stands up on it's own because of the flaps that open up.

Here's this weeks challenge:

1. Create a project with Polka Dots
2. Create a project with a fun fold
3. Mash it up and create a fun fold project with polka dots.

FM152 One Layer Card with Cameo

After getting the Silhouette Cameo I am addicted to creating cards with it and the MDS files. 

Lisa's challenge at Friday Mashup was a perfect challenge for me to bring out my Cameo again. I have no nautical stamp sets so I opted to use the nautical themed SVG files in MDS. 

Here's this weeks challenge over at Friday Mashup:



1. Create a project using a nautical theme
2. Create a one layer card
3. Mash it up and create a one layer card using a nautical theme

The birds and clouds are from "Keep This Memory". The sail boat and the sun are from "On the Go". I created the waves by using the Large Scallop Edgelits die. 

To make sure my card was one layer I inlaid all the cut outs. Also, as you might have noticed the sun is slightly different in my card that it appears in MDS. What I had to do was join all the small triangles together in the Silhouette software so that the rays were all one piece. This made assembly of my card much easier.
