Kinetic Christmas Card

 Hi Crafters,

I thought I would share a special card that I made using a 'new to me' internal moving mechanism that I saw on Pinterest and You Tube. I like making kinetic cards and although this mechanism is quite simple it is very effective when you open the card.

This is the front...

Inside...

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you in 2026!

Passion For Markers Challenge #812 - HALLOWEEN

 Hi Crafters,

As it's almost the end of October our theme this week at Passion For Markers is...

HALLOWEEN

Our sponsor this week is

All Dressed Up Stamps

I have used this fun monster image called 'Monsterific' for my card which I have coloured with Copic Markers. The background paper is a digital file from Sizzix which I have had for ages and I used two dies from the 'Stitched Indented Squares' set by Elizabeth Craft Designs to make my window frame. A piece of die cut spiders web, also from Sizzix, completes my haunted window card.

I hope you can join in with us this week. On the challenge blog at Passion For Markers we have a fabulous prize of 2 digi images from All Dressed Up Stamps for the lucky winner.

See you soon,

Lorraine
