Who’s that hiding in the background?
This was a thank you card I made using Karen Burniston’s Snowball the Sheep and Lots of Pops die. I used some now retired SU Designer paper and the banner punch.
Looks like Snowball is a part of the group now! Hugs, Fran
This is an easy shaker front for a cute Congrats card. Little shaker hearts using the heart from Karen Burniston’s Oval Pull card! But there’s a surprise inside!
Hoppy the Frog – otherwise know as Prince Charming 🙂 He sits on a Pop It Ups Lucy Label Pop It Ups.
This sentiment is computer generated and place on some Silver Foil paper.
He looks happy to see you 🙂 Want the tutorial on how to make this card? Head over to the Elizabeth Craft Design blog. Hugs, Fran
Day 2 of the Pop It Ups Designer Challenge brings me to Father’s Day. I used Karen Burniston’s Circle Accordion Album and Stampin Up’s Swirly Bird to make a fun Father’s Day card for any sea loving dad!
I also used Stampin Up”s Guy Greetings for the middle of my card. I love how the Ring Album die lets you chose the length of your card! Hope you enjoy this nautical look. Make sure to check out Karen’s blog to see the other summer cards! Hugs, Fran
Today starts the June Karen Burniston Pop It Ups Challenge – Summer! What does summer mean to you? My first card is the Butterfly Pivot card with a twist – it’s a shaker! I stenciled the front with the new Stage It Stencil – Blossoms Layering. This is a 2 step stencil that let me do the petals in Calypso Coral and the centers in So Saffron. And, of course, I had to add some Dazzling Details to the centers!. The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Watercolor Wishes.
Because there are layering pieces in the Butterfly Pivot die, it was easy to cut a frame for my shaker. I used a sponge to add the ink in an ombre style.
On the inside I repeated the stenciling and added a banner that matches the front of the card. This is my idea of summer! Make sure to check out the other summer ideas on Karen’s Blog. Hugs, Fran
I had some scrapbook paper that I thought might make a good Karen Burniston Pop It Ups Hanging Charm Pull card. Using the new Baby Charms and the paper on the page, I made a 5 x 7 card for a new bundle of joy.
The card is flat, so I put a few more elements on the back for writing the message.
Almost makes me want to scrapbook again! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a 6 x 6 Shower card made with Karen Burniston’s Stage It Stencils – Rain, and Baby Charms. The Night of Navy base was cut 6 x 11 and scored at 6″. This leaves you a 1″ area at the bottom for your sentiment. The rain was done in a Micorbead Embossing paste and Wisteria Wonder ink.
This is the inside (and kind of the outside too!) The sentiment is computer generated. Hugs, Fran
Hop over to the Elizabeth Craft Design blog to see how I made this cute Lucky the Rabbit card 🙂

This month’s challenge is stencils! I used Karen Burniston’s new Stage It Stencil – Cherries Layering. This fun stencil has the cherries on one end and the stems on the other. Put them together and this is what you get! This card is 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 and the cherries are stenciled with pearlescent embossing paste colored with Real Red ink. Can you see the shine?
The stems are done in Garden Green ink. It makes such a pretty background. Baker the Beaver is celebrating with cherry cupcakes while on an action wobble! The cupcake is part of Baker’s die and the cherry is from Stampin Up’s Cupcake builder punch. (retiring)
Make sure to check Karen’s blog to see all the wonderful ideas using stencils! Hugs, Fran
The May Design Team Challenge is using the new Stage It Stencils by Karen Burniston! These stencils are super fun! They have 2 designs on each stencil that can be used as is or combined to make one darling design! Today I’m using the Baby Pajamas stencil and Baby Clear stamp, along with Stampin Up’s Something for Baby stamp set and matching die all on a Accordion Rectangle card. There’s also a surprise in the middle 🙂
This is the front. I start by stenciling the baby pajama in pink with red hearts on my paper and then die cutting the Accordion Rectangle pieces. The pram is stamped in Wisteria Wonder.
When you open it up, there’s a new matching baby pajama charm hanging in the center.
I sandwiched the Baker’s Twine between the patterned paper and the card stock. Then I added some elements from Something For Baby.
I found a sweet poem about baby girls to decorate the third Rectangle. So sweet! Make sure to check out Karen’s blog to see all the other amazing cards from the design team using her new products! Hugs, Fran
It’s graduation time and I have a few to send out. Karen Burniston’s Poppy the Owl seemed like the perfect character to grace a graduation card! The numbers are the Stampin Up’s Number of Year stamp set with matching die. One of my graduates had blue and white as their school colors. I used the Schoolhouse Designer Series paper for this one.
Poppy’s cap is made from the bowler hat in Props 1. Karen has a diagram on her blog showing how to cut it to make it a cap. The hassle and diploma are hand cut.
Another graduate’s school colors are red and gray. I simply copied the same design and changed up the colors. These card are large – 4 1/4 x 9 – and will easily accommodate a check 🙂
Here he is in Smoky Slate. He looks so smart! The Number of Years set makes this a easy card to put together. Hugs, Fran
