Side Step Card

Hello everyone,

A quick post for a quick card...
I made this card for my mother-in-law's birthday recently.
I made this card in a hurry...so forgive me for the pics...

We took a very good family picture this Diwali...and I really wanted to incorporate it in my card. I also wanted it to be the focus of the card...

Some more pics of the card:

A better look at the folds and steps:

I used 3 different pattern papers for the 3 steps and wrote the sentiment with a black marker

I am entering the card in the following challenges:

Teabag Shaker card

Hello crafters,

Today I am here with a card for a very special person...my dear MOM...
My mom loves her tea..
So I made this card with the theme as tea...

I drew the tea-cups and cut them out of pattern paper...
Added a quirky message "TEA-RRIFIC" ;)
But the card felt incomplete...

So I added a tea-bag...I imitated a real tea-bag...
I made the tea-bag using some packing material (I don't know what material it is...I found it in all the junk I collect ;) )
I filled it with some sequins and stars...

It is a shaker tea-bag. When you shake the card...the contents of the tea-bag shake... :D
Isn't it cool...

Here's another look at the card:

The inside of this card is a surprise...I will showcase it another post later...

I am entering this card for the following challenges:
