One more Gift Bag Punch Board bag – a shaker bag. I used the Deco Label Framelits to make the opening. Take 2 piece of acetate (a window sheet or packaging work too), use tape around the edges to make a pouch and fill it with stars and confetti. Attach it to the back of the opening. Stamp the ballon and adhere it to the front and add a sentiment. You could use lots of different framelits! Hope you have a great weekend! Hugs, Fran
Couldn’t help the title of this post 🙂 This card was created using the Flowerpot DSP. I’m going to be sad to see it retired tomorrow! Notice the little bumblebees holding up the heart. They are a hint at what’s inside.
There’s sweet Honey Bear having a snack with his friends in his Pop It Ups Adirondack chair. The sentiment is from Six Sided Sampler.
Sweet! Hugs, Fran
Running late today, but I wanted to share “Cheepers” and her Pop It Ups Rectangular Pull Card. On the outside I used Karen Burniston’s Farm Greetings Clear Stamps and Cheepers, along with a Stampin Up Star Framelit.
Inside is the double of Cheepers and Itty Bitty Banners on the Pop up part. Fun – and useful this time of year! Hugs, Fran
This Hamburger Box die is made using the Irresistible DSP that was available in the SAB catalog – and it’s “cousin” is making it’s debut in the new catalog! I decided to brayer the paper in the new In Color – Delightful Dijon. I actually love this new color! It’s a deep mustard (think More Mustard) and is a nice compliment to the other yellows in the color families. Here I paired it with Bermuda Bay – Amazing Birthday stamp set – and some strips of card stock to look like ribbon. They are glued to the box so that it opens without any fuss. The bow at the top is 4 Bow Builder punches just stacked on top of each other with a Paper Doily underneath, I topped it all off with a pearl. This started out as a case of a project in the New Catalog – with a few turns along the way 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Day 2 for Karen Burniston May Designer Challenge – Barns, Barns, Barns! Here is Virgil the Pig wishing you a happy birthday. I used the new Clear stamp, Farm Greetings, stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin Write Markers. The Designer paper in Flower Pot.
The angle on this picture is sort of wonky but when you open the card, Virgil and his barn pop up! I left the doors of the Barn open so he looks like he’s walking out to greet you! Love that about this barn!
There, that’s better! His barn is decorated with a little Flag Punch banner. Fun! Hugs, Fran
Today is day one for Karen Burniston’s Design Team May Challenge – Barns, Barns, Barns! And I bring you Brownie the Cow getting ready to party 🙂 The stamp is from Life’s Adventure (a Stampin Up hostess set that’s getting ready to retire!) on some very fun Birthday Bash Designer Series paper.
The cake was colored with Copic markers and the party hat is from Karen’s Props 2 die set.
And here’s the herd at the barn- what a celebration! The barn Pop It Ups stand fits perfectly into the fold – holding up the barn (which is holding up the cows!) The word bubble is computer generated and the sentiment is from Sassy Salutations. The balloons (from the Spiral Pull Card die) are on fishing line. You can easily face the cows in any direction by simply flipping the die cuts over.
I added 1 3/4″ to my barn to make it higher by simply gluing an extra piece of yardstick on the bottom of the front and back barn. You can check out all the other cards on Karen’s Facebook page! Hugs, Fran
There are a lot of finals going on in my family! This card is going out to one of the hard-working students:) The image is Saturated Canary (Reader), colored with Copics. The paper is Back to Black on a Pop It Ups Rectangular Accordion Album.
The center image says it all! But the best part is when you look at the back you will see –
She may not ever look at the back – but I know it’s there! Funny, Aunt Fran 🙂
Here is Ms Cheepers – a new die from Karen Burniston – blinged out for the front of a card! She is strutting her stuff on some pretty Flower Pot Designer Series paper wearing her pearls.
Her friends are nesting on the Pop It Up Barn Pop Stand and the sentiments were created in My Digital Studio. Because I used card stock to create these chicks, it was easy to turn them in either direction. (DSP is easy too – just takes some thinking.) To cover the back of the Pop Up stand, I used a 1 1/4″ x 3 piece of card stock, scored at 1/4.”
Loving this new barn die from Karen Burniston! We have a farm and our barns are black with red roofs and trim, so I decided to make this one look like ours. Using Real Red and Basic Black I cut the barn and used it on the front of the card. When the doors open you can see the Hay There die. The Sunshine is from the So You stamp set in the mini catalog.
And here are all the characters – Brownie the Cow (1022), Virgil the Pig (1024) and Cheepers the Chicken (1024) with a computer generated sentiment on the Pop It Ups Lots of Pops die.
The little banner is punched from the banner punch. Wouldn’t these guys put a smile on someone’s face? Hugs, Fran
This in from Stampin Up! To hep you with shipping, use hostess code AW6ZGNYS on any order under $150.
Like you, we sincerely hoped that the Butterflies Thinlits Dies would arrive in time for Sale-A-Bration, and when that didn’t happen, again like you, we hoped they would be here in time for our Free Shipping promotion. Unfortunately, that is not going to be the case.
Originally they were scheduled to arrive by April 8; we then received notification from our supplier that although the ship had reached the west coast port, the container containing the Thinlits was still on the ship. We have since received verification from a third party that the vessel is still in the port–and though it docked on Friday, April 3, the container with the Thinlits has yet to be pulled.
Because the container has yet to be discharged from the vessel, the soonest the Butterflies Thinlits will arrive in our warehouse is the beginning of the week of April 13; our best estimate for orderability, based on this information, is April 15.
We realize you may be disappointed you were not able to purchase the Thinlits in time to receive Sale-A-Bration rewards–especially in the discounted bundles. Therefore, from the day Butterflies Thinlits are again available through April 30, we are bringing you two special offers:
- Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (item 138633)
- Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (item 138634)
- Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 138635)
