You Move Me too or two

Hiya

Humming bird again....no apologies, its so cute and clever!

Made a tri-fold card with a pocket to hold the moving bird inside the slatted frame.

Kept the rest simple, with just a cone flower to decorate, and a leaf for the pull-tab.

Made a decorative panel for inside

You Move Me Hummingbird

I was very impressed by a card made by Shelly Godby visit her blog post HERE

It uses the You Move Me set, but here I've unashamedly copied the lovely design of Shelly,

and used the non 'moving' parts.

There's a stamp set and matching framelits.

I inked the hummingbird in tempting  turquoise, dipped the edges in pacific point,

 die cut him and the flowers, leaves, stamens.

Cut a square aperture to use as a mask, inked inside the square with sponge brayer.

I liked it so much I made another, this time using a dauber to ink up the bird and flowers.

I love the two tone look, and the added enamel dots.

You Move Me Butterfly

So, I promised to show you the Butterfly.....

Here's how to stamp it......again slightly off perfect,

but it works just the same....and I still hadn't got my stamp-a-ma-jig out.

you can see the orange one has the tip of the tail on it....

this helped me figure it out........

I used some of the other fun elements in the set.......

and a happy accident was using the leaves as the "pull" tab

I think I made the pocket slightly taller, and it therefore didn't fit properly in the envelope.

This again got lots of wows and hows.....

Have a fabulous weekend

I watched a video to see how to use it, but I didn't find it was detailed enough,
and so I took some pictures to help you, as sometimes pictures are easier to understand.
I would love to do videos but lack the time and expertise, it is however on my wish list.

So, firstly I designed a pocket, which I then die cut, using the semi circle and the slats.
To make the pocket :
Card size 12 cm x 9 cm (4 3/4" x 3 1/2 ")
Score short side 1 cm , 1.2 cm, long side 1 cm, 1.2 cm, 10.8 cm, 11 cm
(short 3/8", 1/2",  long 3/8", 1/2", 4 1/4", 4 3/8" )

the idea is to create enough space for the insert to slide easily

It took me a while to understand what the semi circle die was for :) doh

I made an insert 9 cm x 10 cm (3 1/2 " x 4")

there are two stamps to make up the bird, so I started with the one with the beak in purple,

then hovered directly above/over the first image with the second stamp in blue,

as you do this, you should see only the blue, the purple will be hidden.

The picture above shows I didn't get it exactly lined up, 

so I will try with my stamp-a-ma-jig another time.

The stripes combined with the die cut slats, somehow make a moving image,

the wings appear to flutter.......it's magic obviously :)

I did find you have to move the insert quite slowly to get the best effect,

and put instructions inside the card to the recipient, but it's such a cool idea,

and creates a real "wow" !

The pocket sits nicely on an A5 topfold card,

I added a sentiment and a stamped and die cut flower.

The flowers are a trumpet type, 

and there's all sorts of elements and sentiments in the set.

I will be back to show you the butterfly, which literally flutters by!

If I get chance I'll do a video :)
