Simple birthday cards that turned out to be not so simple....

The other day I needed some quick birthday cards, and I decided to do some that I have tried out making before. I ended up with three cards, two that I will share here now, and one that I will share a little later.
Trifold Shutter Card
The Trifold Shutter Card (thepaperpixie.com) is a really easy-to-make card that has somewhat of a wow! effect, and it was made rather quickly. The other card, on the other hand, a Twist and Pop Card (mixedupcrafts.com)gave me a heck of a hard time! Due to the fact that it's measurements calls for card stock measuring 12", and I hardly have any, I had to resize the card. The actual card it self is easy enough to resize, the twist and pop mechanism inside, however, turned out to be a totally different cup of tea. I managed something in the end, though, and hopefully the recipient won't be able to see the many "swear" moments I had a long the way! I will definitely have to see if I can get a hold of some larger card stock!!
