Gift Card Pocket Card
18:21
Meet your instructor, paper artist Kimber McGray, and learn more about the cards you'll create in your free mini-class. Then dive right into making a birthday card that will hold a standard gift card so it doesn't fall out. Kimber shows how to embellish your card with birthday elements, but you can create any kind of special-occasion or thank you card with the same techniques.
Penny Slider Card
13:31
Add movement to a greeting card by including a penny slider. Kimber demonstrates how to plan and cut the channel, assemble the slider and attach it to the card. Then see a variety of elements you can use to embellish your card: floating balloons, a circling sun or a spinning pinwheel. Use your imagination to create your own!
Shaker Box Card
14:50
Put some pizzazz into your card by incorporating a shaker box filled with sequins, confetti, glitter and more. Use a hole punch or die cut to create an opening in your card, then cover the opening with plastic or vellum to turn it into a window. You'll then create a well to fill with the playful shapes of your choice. Kimber shows you how!
Pop-Up Surprise Box Card
20:16
Make your cards pop! Kimber demonstrates how to incorporate pop-up shapes inside your card to surprise and delight the recipient. Practice by making three pop-up gift boxes in one card, then embellish them with ribbon and even a floating balloon. With this pop-up technique and the others you've learned, your cardmaking possibilities are endless!
