Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and Michelle is our host with feminine challenge this week!
It was my Mother-in-Laws 80th birthday the other week and I wanted to make her a really special card. I decided to make a fancy fold card called a carousel card. It was an engineering feat and took me about 4 hours to complete – I even made and decorated the envelope. I used the Stampin Up ‘Bird Ballad’ stamp set and matching DSP.
The envelope and closed card front.
The card opened up.
Looking down on the carousel of the card.
Another view of the open card.
I’m so happy with how this turned out and my MIL absolutely loved it.
Come join in the fun and make a feminine card. Check out the projects that the other artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us. You have until Tuesday, 7th July at 9:00 Melbourne Time or Monday 6th July 5pm US Mountain Time to link up your project.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.
Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.
So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
