Hi, this is the post I promised on my last post "Last minute Christmas card". Finally I'm able to post it after finishing 3 other projects ;

1st. Right after Christmas - I need to prepare  napkin rings (14 of those) and 5 "segnaposto" (looks like favor box, just smaller) for last dinner on 2010 - I'll load some picts on my next post "New Year project part one"

2nd. Followed by the first of January lunch, I've prepared 11 favor boxes, please check also my "New Year project part two" post

3rd. Guido and Dora 60th anniversary on the 8th of January, I made 30 favor boxes (delivered today :D YEAH!!), it will be posted under the title of "Torte bomboniere, Nozze di Diamante"

Ok, now back to spiral card . I figured out how to fix the hole on the card, unlikely my previous card "Last minute Christmas card" post, so the spiral pop up will look really nice when opened vertically from the side :

Cut the spiral separately from other piece of paper, and then attach it to the card.

I recommend using a stapler, just to make sure it will hold the spiral firmly

conceal the stapler mark with another butterflies, or flower.  The bigger the spiral, the longer it will stretch, and the card will open wider.

 continue attaching more butterflies on the spiral, decorate with flowers. In this picture I'm using a lotus pop up flower.

decorate also the front card with the same color theme...and we are DONE! :D

(I was listening to Astrud Gilberto ; singing "It Might As Well Be Spring" over and over  again while making this card)

Last minute Christmas cards

(Will be translate to Italian ... soon ... *crossfingers)

Merry Christmas to all !!! This year color is BLUE, not because I'm celebrating it here in Italy, alone, and my honey bunch hubby is still working on board the ship, or because I can't eat my mother homecooked meal, or can't watch TV due to bad weather. No. It's because blue looks pretty with the snowflakes and the snowman inside ... *choked

I'm using a spiral pop up technique, which is much easier than spinning 3d platform, but it creates a round hole on the card, and to my taste ; It didn't gave the grand effect of 3D when opened from the side horizontally , like mine here (but oops! I don't have the time to create another one)



... and the back side view ...

Please check again later for  my new year post "Butterfly spiral card" to see the difference; when its opened vertically from the side.

A presto ... (I knew this one in Italian )

Poinsettia pen wrap

(Promise I will translate this to Italian as soon as I "catch" one of my busy Italian friends, well it's CHRISTMAS anyway!!!! :)))))))))

I guess this is my first Christmas project, starting from an order of decorating 130 pens from Rosa Vaccaro who owns a  Beauty Salon , named after her "Rose's Style".

The theme is Christmas, so should be not far from green, white and red color (which is surprisingly the same color with Italian flag ...... or margherita pizza :)))) This is the design I purposed and she said YES!

I made 50 of these, while the other 80 is wrapped (or tucked to be more exactly...) with a snowman, check also my other post "Snowman pen wrap", and Merry Christmas!
