This month's Papertrey challenge is to take a project you made last year and use it for inspiration on a current project. I need to make 15 cards for a card exchange this weekend so this gives me the direction I need. I've been meaning to do another pop-up card like the Christmas cards I did. So I came up with a pop-up flower card. It's pretty quick to make once you have the measurements. Start with a 4" x 11" paper for the base (double sided paper is great since you will see the inside). Score at the following increments: 1", 2 3/4", 3 3/4", 7 1/4", 8 1/4", 10". When you fold them all in the same direction you will have a base that looks like a "B" from the side. Unfold the paper and make another score at 5 1/2". Bear with me, there are a lot of steps here, but it is easy. Cut a 2 1/2" slit in the middle of this score line, and cut another slit super close to that one to make a slot for the clear acetate piece to pop out of the base. It should be 1/8" to 1/16" wide. You want it pretty snug to hold the acetate up. Cut two pieces of clear acetate that are 2 1/4" wide and however tall you want. One piece should be 1" shorter. Slip the longer acetate piece through the slot, and using the Tiny Attacher or regular stapler, staple the long piece to the 1" segment at the end of the base. You can use adhesive to attach the two end pieces of the base together. I used Papertrey's Wonderful Words die to cut the words. Love how the long loops of the letters (like the "f") look like leaves when oriented vertically. Use a little glue to attach the word to the acetate. Place the other piece of acetate that is 1" shorter on top. The bottom of the acetate will just be resting on top of the base. This is important because it will essentially act as a ceiling and hold the base down nice and square when the card is open. I attached the two pieces of acetate with the Tiny Attacher at the top, so it will not show behind the flower. Next time I will attach the flower using the brad instead of the adhesive since it shows through. Cut flower shapes out of many colored papers. Love the Bloom Builders #3 die! Combine the colors and just stack 'em up to get an awesome flower. So quick and simple. Use a brad to hold them all together. I bend the petals up slightly on the layers to make it more dimensional. Attach the flower over your staples at the top of the acetate so it just overlaps the word. Cut out and attach the rest of your sentiment. Initially I used the Papertrey Double-Ended Banner die, but I needed it a little longer so I just cut a 1/2" strip of paper and notched the ends with the corner of a square punch. My favorite part is collapsing the card after you're done. Amazingly it folds nice and flat. Perfect for fitting into an envelop. Then to re-open it you just pull the acetate. With the word being vertical I like how it is revealed as you pull it open. Then the rest of the sentiment is on the base. OK, now I'm off to make 13 more! They do go quickly. You can get 3 bases from a 12x12 paper, so I make the score marks first, and then cut the sheet into thirds. Saves a couple steps! Oh, one other tip. I saved the clear packaging from some candles I bought at Costco. It's nice and thick. This is what I used for the card. It's large so I'll probably get 7-8 from one package. Paper is American Crafts bought in bulk from Tuesday Morning. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to try and help!

Tick Bird Visits the Museum has been selected for exhibition in A Cache of Kinetic Art: Tiny Intracacies at the Morris Museum, New Jersey, USA. March 13 - August 16, 2020. Automaton carved from lime wood with a beechwood and brass mechanism. The top plate is English Ash wood. The crank handle is turned from box wood. William is a Hippopotamus statuette dating from the 18th C BC and is one of the most popular exhibits in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Where else would a Tick Bird visiting the museum go but straight to William! Made in small batches from 35 wood, brass and nylon parts all turned, carved and milled in my studio from the highest quality raw materials. The hippo is carved from lime wood and painstakingly finished with 2 coats of artist's gesso, 2 coats of acrylic paint. A top coat of a different colour blue is air-brushed on to give depth. Then the black pattern is painted on with a fine brush followed by 2 coats of acrylic lacquer. The blue and green ripples on the large gear wheel evoke the lagoons that the hippos live in and the orange cam wheel the warm African sun. The bird is free moving with an internal brass gimbal allowing it turn around randomly as the crank moves it back and forth. This automaton has a wonderfully smooth mechanism. One of a range of automata at www.lowbot.co.uk Height 22cms Length 12 cms Width 10 cms (4inches) My automata contain small parts and are offered as curios for adults and not as children's toys.

I've wanted to do a V.I.P. table in my classroom for the longest time! The problem is, my classroom is too small and can barely accommodate my 28 students, let alone an extra table or desk. When I saw the over the chair organizers at The Dollar Tree, I knew my problem was solved! Included in this freebie file are labels that fit inside ZipLoc sandwich and quart sized bags for markers, colored pencils, highlighters, and crayons. I found the cutest highlighters at Target that are perfect for the V.I.P. Kit, and I added bright mechanical pencils too. I also made bookmarks and badges to go along with the pack. I'm going to add special reading pointers to the kit, too. I hope you and your students enjoy this pack if you are able to use it! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• How to get TPT credits for future purchases: Go to My Purchases page on TPT.

About me I grew up in a creative household as my dad is an artist, photographer and sculptor. My mother a seamstress and dressmaker and many a time as a child I would watch in awe - hypnotised by its mechanical hum as she worked her magic creating beautiful bespoke dresses. These experiences resulted in a great appreciation of art, design, making and sewing. I make all the items featured in my shop from beginning to end and I take a great pride in creating each individual item from beginning to end. I also love to design fabric prints and some of these designs are featured on my bags and purses. My online shop is an outlet for my creativity and my need to make and create. Please enjoy looking around in my shop and please get in touch if you have any questions or need any help.
