I made this...

[Lillyicon]

Thank you.

I don't know how I missed your beautiful purple star box Alison or your stylish Thanks card Elaine. I must admit I have not being operating at full steam the last few weeks.

Hope you’re not sickening for something Lily.
I made this twist and pop Father’s Day card for my Father in Law earlier

[elainevking]

And one for my DS1s birthday on the 14th. I thought while I have all those papers out I might as well make two cards from it.

Those are great Elaine

Wow, love those Elaine ! Not seen a twist and pop card before. I shall be watching a ‘how to’ video next time I’m ironing
That kaisercraft Range is fab too, some of those cogs look very 3D

[elainevking]

Some of them are 3D Alison. I’ve made one of them using mixed spice and paint! Then others I’ve added on low foam pads for dimension. It’s so easy with the KC pads though because they really think about cardmakers too and give you lots of pop out sentiments etc.
Those twist and pop cards are great. I find the tutorial by Colette Mitrega a simple one to follow. Link here... you only need the dimensions and then you can decorate how you like.

They are fab Elaine and no I am not coming down with something its just been a stressful and busy time looking after our old poorly cat who has now made a good recovery and is on a regime of meds that are keeping her going

Amazing cards Elaine
I love the industrial look, and the front of your sons card is really nice.
What else should we expect from the KC aficionado

[elainevking]

Lol. I’m getting a bit rusty since I left the DT.. literally in this case!
I copied your idea Alison and simplified it to make this card for DHs 60th birthday. Thank you for the idea.
Glad you’re not poorly Lily. Stress can manifest itself in many ways. I’ve got a knot the size of an egg in my right shoulder blade that makes my neck ache. Hunching over a craft desk nearly all day didn’t help my physical discomfort but it helps my mental worries.

[alison 2]

You’re on a roll with the card making Elaine, another great card. It’s a great design for a special birthday isnt it

[Susie.A]

What amazing cards Elaine, could you send me some of your mojo please.

[bramblepie]

Glad your furbaby picked up again Lily
Love the exploding box card too Elaine

[Susie.A]

What was wrong with your cat Lilly? Glad to hear she is on the mend.

[Lillyicon]

Ah what wasn't wrong with her Susie

She is very old, 18 at the end of June. She has been taking meds for her thyroid for about 2 years but earlier in the year she needed to go on to beta blockers and aspirin because her heart rate was too quick and a bit irregular. Then about 2 months later, end of April she got a horrible tummy bug and needed ABs.

Then she started having breathing problems and is now on steroids for asthma and diuretics for water on the lungs.

So apart from rattling with meds she is fine. She has to have so many I have made and printed out an Excel spreadsheet to keep track.

Bet you wish you hadn't asked

Lilly
