Grateful for You Pop N Cut

A Fall Pop N Cuts card!  For the front of this card I used pieces from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit in the Holiday Mini and some Sweater Weather Designer Series paper. 

The inside is a Thanksgiving/friendship scene featuring my favorite Dress Form insert. 

The banner was made in MDS 2 and the mirror is Label Love with the matching punch and a little bit of silver foil paper for the inside. Her tablecloth is a Doily. 

The turkey is a small oval punch with Build a Blossom legs.  It sits on a circle punch serving platter.  The bowls of cranberries and green beans are also the small oval punch with scallop punches for the cranberries. 

The rug is a Sizzix embossing folder designed by Karen Burniston – works great here!

Perfect Blend and Perfect Friend

A Calm Christmas Pop N Cuts

Pop N Cuts!  My favorite   Here’s a Christmas card using the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base die and Label insert.  I decorated the outside with Calm Christmas – the dove embossed in silver embossing powder.

On the inside I used Christmas Collectibles and a single stamp – Prince of Peace.  This set goes with the Deco Label Framelits so it works perfectly with the Label insert. 

To get the different colors on the stamp, I inked it up in Pool Party and then went  over the selected words with an Island Indigo Stampin Write Marker.  The ornaments were stamped twice – once in Versamark and embossed in silver and once in Bermuda Bay to punch for the centers.  The ornament lines and accents on the card were cut from the new Silver Foil card stock – so pretty!  The sentiment on the Whisper White piece is half of the sentiment from Calm Christmas – embossed in silver. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Calm Christmas, Christmas Collectibles, Prince of Peace
card stock – Whisper White, Bermda Bay, Silver foil, Winter Frost DSP
Ink – Versamark, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base and Label insert, Deco Label Framelits, Ornament punch, 1/2″ circle punch, rhinestones, Silver ribbon, Scallop Edge punch.

I’ll have some more Halloween for you soon.  Hugs, Fran

Floating Floor Santa Scene

Oh what fun indeed!  This card is a floating floor card cased from Karen Burniston’s video

The greeting on the front is from Christmas Messages and is layered on a glittered oval with an ornament punch top.  It’s 2 pieces but the glitter paper really makes it look like one piece. 

And here’s Santa and Rudolph (Color Me Christmas) decorating trees.  There clothes are paper pieced to give them some extra “umph.” 

From the side you can see how the floor looks. 

Rudolph’s nose is a pearl colored with a sharpie marker.

Card stock – Whisper White, Silver Glitter, Season of Style DSP, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Old Olive
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Cherry Cobbler

Bewitched Pop N Cuts

I need a card to go with my Halloween suite of projects – don’t you agree?  I had to use my exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base and Dress Form insert because it’s my favorite!  I love the closure on the base – and I love how it shows just a peek of the paper inside.  This paper from Witches’ Brew is the easiest paper in the world to create a card.  I didn’t have to do a thing!  The design on the paper made a perfect base for what I had in mind.

I just punched out this “warning” and adhered it to the funny witches’ menu style paper, added a strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock and that was that.

So here she is – making potions!  She has her spell book, hat, candle, wand, broom and cauldron.  She is ready to cast some spells!

I added googlie eyes across the top the card.  There are weird little dots on the paper – I just filled them with eyes.  I also added some glitter stars so she’d have a bit more sparkle.  One of the papers in Witches’ Brew looks like book paper so it made a perfect spell book.  The witches hat has an Orange Stampin Glitter band.

To make her dress, I cut off the top of a Dress Form Framelit with the Full Heart punch and added the ears from the Owl Builder to the shoulders.  Then I covered the entire piece with Two Way glue and Black Stampin Glitter.  I had one star left so I adorned her top with that. Her necklace is pearls colored with a Sharpie Marker.  For the skirt, I traced the skirt and made it longer then free-hand cut the edge.  The cauldron is a 1 1/2″ circle punch cut straight across the top.  The feet on the cauldron are another Dress Form Framelit bottom – just snipped to fit behind the cauldron. 

Then I embossed across the top using the Delicate Design embossing folder.  I covered it with Dazzling Details.  The foam in the cauldron is vellum card stock brayered in Pear Pizazz and accented with pearls and more Dazzling Details. 

Supplies
Card Stock – Witches’ Brew DSP, Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Vellum card stock, Pumpkin Pie
Ink – White Craft, Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry
Etc – SU exclusive Pop N Cuts base die and Dress Form insert and Framelit, 1 3/4″ Circle punch, pearls, linen thread, googlie eyes, Dazzling Details, Orange and Black Stampin Glitter, Full Heart punch

I love creating things for Halloween because there are no rules and I love my Pop N Cuts die   Hugs, Fran

Coffee Love

Coffee and love – a great combination.  This card uses the SU exclusive Pop N Cuts base die and the Full Heart punch to express that feeling.  The coffee bean embossing folder is from Sizzix and matches………


their Mug and Hearts insert designed by Karen Burniston.  I used SU’s Early Espresso Coordinations card stock and went over it with my sanding block for a very distressed look.  The “cafe” is another embossing folder that came bundled with the beans. 


The hearts are a movers and shapers type of insert.  I used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series paper.  The smoke is really a heart cut from Vellum card stock.

I really sanded the embossing here – and then went over the word with a Real Red Stampin Write Marker. 

Supplies
Card stock – Early Espresso coordinations, Polka Dot parade DSP, Epic Day DSP, Real Red, Vellum card stock
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Real Red
Etc – SU Pop N Cut base, Mug and Hearts insert and embossing folders, Real Red Stampin Write Marker, Full Heart punch, Large Pearl, Cute Clip

With a Starbucks gift card – this would be perfect!  Hugs, Fran

Ms Crafty Pop N Cut


I happen to know someone who had a birthday on Tuesday who is very, very crafty – so I made her a crafty pop n cut card!  I used the Birthday Basics Designer Series paper and the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set.  Can you guess who it is?

She’s quite the Pop N Cuts kind of gal –

She can always be seen with the exclusive Stampin Up Dress Form insert and matching Framelit –

Check out her Pop N Cuts cards and her pretty banner decorating her stamp room –

And her stack of dies –

They’re all over her work place – dies and inserts!

And, of course, her Big Shot!  Any guesses!  Hugs, Fran

Comfy Chair PNC

More variations on the card I made at the class Karen Burniston taught.  This is the Square PNC base using a very retired SU Designer paper.  It is a specialty paper that has been retired for so long, I can’t remember what it was called!  I put the greeting from Petite Pairs in the Fancy Frame die.

Here it is open with a few magazines scattered around – just like my house!


The vase is the Owl punch and the branches are from the Bird punch.  The chair die has an embossing folder that makes the rug, lamp and table.  I just cut them out after embossing.  Though you can’t see it, the lamp shade is covered in Crystal Effects.  I covered the top edge with the wonderful SU tape – love that stuff! 

Family is in town and I’m scurrying around behind the scenes trying to pack for convention.  I’ll be posting from convention on my Facebook page starting on Thursday afternoon. Hugs, Fran

Perfect Blend PNC

Here’s another project I did for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Cool Moves.  Coffee, coffee, coffee!  This Pop N Cuts features the Label insert and Perfect Blend insert and Birthday Bash Designer Series paper.  It has a little envelope that will hold a Starbucks card (in case you need to send me one!)  This is the project suite –

There is still time left to have access to all the wonderful Cool Moves cards – but you need to hurry!

Hugs, Fran

Festive Flurry Label PNC

First off – good news!  The Label Insert is available again!  This is such good news because the Label insert can be used for any and every card you want to create.  Now for a sneak peek of two new sets from the upcoming Holiday Mini – Festive Flurry and Christmas Messages – using the Pop N Cuts Label insert designed by Karen Burniston exclusively for Stampin Up.

The Festive Flurry set has a matching Framelit and I die cut it 4 times – Glimmer paper, Bermuda Bay, embossed silver, and Coastal Cabana.  The snowflake is a new embellishment called Frosted Finishes.

The Designer Series paper is Winter Frost and it’s a specialty paper.  I took my colors straight from the paper. 

A smaller snowflake for the inside.

The sentiment is on the matching Deco Label Framelit.  I just love when things coordinate!

That hanging snowflake is on a box made by cutting the fold of the
shelf and making another box.  Then I  cut the snowflake to hang
it.  (I really could have made things easier for myself by just slitting the snowflake – I quite often do things the hard way!)

Stamp Sets – Festive Flurry, Christmas Messages
card stock – Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Bermuda Bay, Winter Frost DSP
Ink – Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smokey Slate, Versamark
Etc – SU exclusive PNC base and Label insert, Festive Flurry and Deco Label Framelits, Frosted Finished embellishment, silver embossing powder, Scallop edge punch

This card really sparkles in real life.  Wonder why it’s so hard to photograph glitter?  Hugs, Fran
