Telescoping Card from The Rubber Cafe' - Creative Cafe, January kit of the month

Hi - It's the weekend, and today I have a fun card I believe is called the 'Telescoping' card. The circle elements from the Add-on stampset really leant itself well to this card design. And I also am featuring the darling 'pups' from the set For the Love of Cats and Dogs - which comes with your kit.

Here's my card... fully extended. It's so easy to do - just prepare your layers, and join with brads so you can fully extend this card with ease!

Spirelli technique from The Rubber Cafe-

Hi - today's card is featuring the fun Spirelli technique of winding twine, in what appears as almost a kalidescope look. I saw Susie Nelson's technique on Splitcoast and Beate Johns does a video tutorial, but I'm going to share my own tutorial with you today, as I tweeked it a bit by doing it with a heart scallop shape instead of the usual circle!
First heres' my finished card, overall it's almost a bit busy compared to my usual designs, but I love how it turned out so hope you agree.

I Love You - Accordian card

Hi Everyone!
I'm have an accordian card to share today - with a little extra fun as it also has some 'shape' to it! I can't take credit for this design and unfortunately I don't recall where I first saw it. I just was reminded of it when I went through my files of card ideas.

Here's my card - today I'm featuring the BoBunny Love Letters' 6x6 paper pad and the stampset "For the Love of Cats and Dogs" - both found in this month's Creative Cafe' Kit of the month.
