Long Neck

This pop-up giraffe prefers the ground vegetation over the trees.

Outfished!

Dad is outfished by his son for this Father's Day pop-up.

Moose Mania

The antlers swing up on this card when you open it - lots of motion. Should I make this one again, I'll try for even bigger antlers.

Points on Bull

The dartboard cabinet could be the card itself without any background, should you choose to make it larger. The board inside is 3" in diameter in this card.

Up, Up and Away

Snoopy comes to mind...

Simple, Easy

I tweaked Sabuda's butterfly pattern to make this little thank you card. Fast and effective!

Busy Bee(s)

Detoured again! My hot air balloon pop-up was supposed to be finished by now :( Instead, this little bumblebee card jumped to the front of the list. The best part of this one is that those bees hover on paper springs. The slightest little movement causes them to buzz around! Simple and effective.

Simple instructions for this one: use an egg-shaped punch for the body, a heart-shaped punch for the wings (cut in half from vellum), two jellybean- shaped pieces for the heads, add antennae and some coiled paper springs cut from a circle-shaped punch. You're all set!

Bridge to Nowhere!

Well, "Australia" certainly is a long movie - this is what I made while watching it last night....

Simple Flower Pop-up

I do a lot of the more complicated pop-ups, but this one is simple and easy, and just a modified version of Sabuda's free pattern.

Hinged...

This was a custom for a filmmaker afficionado. It also opens like a typical card, otherwise it wouldn't stand up. This style would work well as an interactive scrapbook embellishment.

A Work in progress...

This design is intended to eventually be a "Congratulations on your New Home" card. ..

The Spider and the Fly

Halloween was surprisingly my most popular season last year. In order to be more prepared I am starting the 2008 designs a little early. Happy Fourth of July!

Hippo Haven...

I needed a sample photo for this sliding, photo frame pop-up card, and my daughter suggested her DC zoo hippo picture!

Is it Summer Yet?

It felt like it yesterday! But today is very overcast, and it's not easy to get decent pictures on a cloudy windy day.

Butterfly in Blue....

She's a little smaller than my orange monarch one, but still a nice big size!

The Rising Candle Cupcake

Earth Day - April 22

This is my first venture into recycled papers. They don't have a huge selection of colors available yet, so the silver paper on the front is not recycled - everything else is...

It's a Very Small World

These miniature daisies are destined for the front of a Mother's Day card. It took me most of a morning to make these six dollhouse-sized daisies, but there's something rewarding about knowing you made everything from scratch instead of buying them from a store.

Custom Work...

... for a person running their first race ever....
