My favorite catalog sample is on page 3 using Hello, Lovely – so I cased it   I used a notecard to make the base.  The notecards are so easy to use!  Stamp the background in Crisp Cantaloupe (Dictionary background stamp) and then make a Polaroid frame out of Calypso Coral – using the Square Framelits to die cut the inside piece.  I stamped the Hello, Lovely sentiment on Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and punched the butterfly from a piece of I Am Me Designer Series paper.  Since I didn’t have any buttons that matched, I made a Crisp Cantaloupe rose using the Clay molds.

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

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

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!

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

Here’s a fun card made with the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series paper, Oh Hello stamp set and the Pop N Cuts base and Label insert.  The Label insert is not currently available but should be back in stock soon.  On the front I used a Paper Doily and a Clay rose.  To color the rose I simply “smooshed” it into the Wisteria Wonder stamp pad and then went over it with a Stampin Write marker.

The inside has a little banner.

And it’s hung on some So Saffron Baker’s Twine.  The sentiment is from Six Sided Sampler.  I used the Top Note die to make the Wisteria Wonder accent at the top and bottom.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Oh Hello,  Six-Sided Sampler
card stock – Afternoon Picnic, Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, Very Vanilla
Ink – Smokey Slate, Crushed Curry, Wisteria Wonder
Etc – Itty Bitty Shapes punch, pearls, SU Pop N Cuts base and Label insert, Deco Label Framelits, Top Note die, Circle Framelits, Sizzix Flagpole with Lantern, Paper Doily, Clay rose, So Saffron Baker’s Twine

I just love this Designer Series paper!  Hugs, Fran

Here’s a take on another Karen Burniston Pop N Cuts class card.  I used the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base die to create the card.  The Designer Series paper is Etcetera – a nice vintage paper.  The front is a Label Framelit cut with the Cordinations Early Espresso paper, sanded, and a piece of Calypso Coral Chevron ribbon.  The mug is from the insert (coming up) and the heart is from the Hearts Framelits.  I covered it in Crystal Effects – and I mean covered it!  I wasn’t paying attention and got a ton of it on there!

This is the Mug & Heart insert – so cute!  After I die cut the inside, I cut the mug out again in Soft Suede and ran it through my Big Shot using the Modern Mosaic embossing folder. 

Then I went over the design with Crystal Effects and added an image from Notable Notions to the front. 

The sentiment is from Lots of Thanks – and that’s Epic Day Washi tape on the sides.

Stamp Sets – Notable Notions, Lots of Thanks
card stock – Etcetera DSP, Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Pool Party
Ink – Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base die, Sizzix Mug & Hearts insert, Crystal Effects, Circle punches, Epic Day Washi tape, Label Framlit and Heart Framelit, Modern Mosaic embossing folder

Other than needing some time to dry because of my heavy hand with the Crystal Effects – this card was easy and fun to make!  Hugs, Fran

This is another card we made at Karen Burniston’s Pop N Cuts class I took a week ago.  The butterfly flips from the outside to the inside – very nice.

Hopefully I can re make this with SU products this weekend.  Though this is a different size base than the exclusive SU base – the insert fits in all Pop N Cuts bases.  It’s a fun challenge

This is a re-do of one of the cards we made at the Pop N Cuts class I took.  I used the new set Zoo Babies to make this one.  (It’s the robot card in this post) 

All the animals are out to greet you when you open the card.

The monkeys are hanging on the fishing line – didn’t turn out exactly as I had in mind, but it works.  The elephant’s ear is popped up with Dimensionals.
