Never-ending Birthday Card

I saw this Never-ending card on Dawns Stampin Thoughts, (a Stampin' Up demonstrators blog I frequent) I fell in love with the card.  Well the way it folds and works so this is my take on the card.  I had a friend ask me to make her grand-daughter a birthday card using this style, and this is it.  I really like the way it turned out.  I used all Stampin' Up papers, inks, markers, and stamps.

Imagine Bigfoot


I wanted to play with my Imagine today, so I decided I was going to use the new Campin' Critters cartridge.  I chose to make Big-foot and the snow scene, well, because of the weather outside.  So I chose to print the colors onto white paper and then cut them out, I wanted to see how well the Imagine did all of this.  I think it worked really great.  You couldn't really see Big-foot's eyes so I chose to give him some black rhinestone eyes.  I also applied just a little bit of light gray chalk under his boots.  Love the way it turned out.  I did recut the brown main color on Big-foot and the shadow layer, because the colors that I thought were going to be perfect were way to light.  That was my only issue I had with the colors on the Imagine, the colors print slightly different than they look on the screen.  I used foam pop dots on the shadow of both Big-foot and the scene just to give some dimension.
