Wedding Wishes Pop It Ups

It’s almost the wedding season and these new new bride and groom Hanging Charms from Karen Burniston for the Pop It Ups Hanging Charms Pull cards are perfect!

This card is 6 x 6 and the middle square is edged in pearls. The bride and groom are separate charms, so you can use them as you need them! The sentiments are from Karen’s new Best Wishes Clear stamp. I kept my card “postcard style” – with a white back so I can write a nice message.

The card stock is the beautiful Irresistibly Yours from Stampin Up! and it has beautiful patterns embossed on them – hard to see. It’s all tied off with white satin ribbon. Hope you’ll find lots of uses for these darling charms. I will! (hint, hint!) Hugs, Fran

This card is for a sweet young woman who just finished vet school! So of course I had to corral some Karen Burniston animals to congratulate her 🙂 They are posing in front of the Barn Pop Stand. The card is 4 1/4 x 9 and will easily accommodate a check or gift card.

The idea is that all the animals have come to wish her well. Check out the bandages on each one.

Looks like everyone is healing nicely! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

The front balloon has a cloud at the bottom of the basket – which is the top of the Pop It mechanism.

Today is day 1 of the Karen Burniston Challenge for April – The Great Outdoors – and I’m doing something new. I saw a beautiful card here by Kittie Caracciolo and I’m casing it 🙂 Here is my version

I started by sponging the top of the card with Soft Sky and the bottom with Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. The small flower are from Stampin Up’s Floral Wings and are in Rose Red. Then I took an Elegant Eggplant marker and started making the little dotted flowers around it. To soften things out I used a white gel pen and some Pink Pirouette and Daffodil Delight markers. The picket fence is a very, very old Sizzix die (I mean really old!) and the butterflies are an old SU embosslit. The grass is from Karen Burniston’s Outdoor Edges, cut is Pear Pizzaz and sponged with Old Olive. The flowers are a mix from an SU punch and the flower in the KB Garden Bench die. The gate swings open by just creating a score line. I added a banner and sentiment.

On the inside I repeated the sky, grass and die cut grass and flowers from the front. The tree is from All Season Tree. The focal point is the Garden Bench die (fav!!) and the bird from SU’s An Open Heart. More butterflies, more flowers!

Thanks to Kittie for the awesome inspiration and a chance to try some “new to me” techniques. Check out what the other designers have done for this challenge on Karen’s Facebook page and blog! Then stop by tomorrow for some challenge fun! Hugs, Fran

Pretty Pink! The sentiment on this card is from Remembering Your Birthday and it’s perfect for this card. I used the retired Hearts Framelits to make a series of hearts – one stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Flower stencil and glitter, one with the sentiment and one small heart.

Open it up – and you have a pink Pop It Up Cake with lots of glitter!

Karen has a great video showing how to make this background. But be careful – glitter is addicting! Hugs, Fran

I thought I’d make a card for Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Can you see who’s hiding in my coffee cup? Take a close look –

I used Stampin Up’s Botanical Builder Framelits for the flowers, the bird punch for the leaves and the English Garden Designer Series paper. The cup is from Karen Burniston’s Cup Pop Stand, stenciled with her Medallion stencil and some stencil paste. When you open it up –

Lucky the Rabbit pops outs! 🙂 The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Helping Me Grow. And hidden behind Lucky –

Is the Sleigh Gift Card Holder Pop Up by Karen Burniston. It’s holding a wonder Starbucks card!

To make Lucky’s arm hang over the cup, I simply snipped where it was attached. Instead of using a large pearl on the inside, I punched a small circle in white and use Crystal Effects over top of it. This will keep the bulk down. Enjoy your coffee! Hugs, Fran

I LOVE coffee! But more than that, I love drinking coffee with friends. Here’s a Hanging Charm Pull Card to celebrate friends and coffee! Using the new Karen Burniston Hanging Charm Pull Card die with the little coffee cup die and Stampin Up’s Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper, I did a simple card.

When you pull it up, you complete the sentiment. You can use this die to make flat cards (postcards) or decorate the front of a folding card – your choice. Today I did a folded card.

Pull Cards! The challenge this month is to use any of the Karen Burniston Pull dies to create cards. Today I’m using the Oval Pull Card.

I started with Stampin Up’s Hello Honey card stock base and the Botanical Gardens Designer Series paper. The cute palm tree is from one of Karen’s earlier collections called Palm Tree & Pail. The sentiment is from her new Cheeky Monkey Clear Stamp set. It’s easy to layer designer paper on the cards with Karen’s Pull Card Edges – and it’s fun!

On the inside I added Jinks the Monkey on the pop up piece from the Rectangle Pull Card. (The oval has a slider and the rectangle has a pop up – you need them both 🙂 )

Here’s a Rectangle Pull Card. This is such a great card because it has a nice, big front that can hold a good size image. If you like to color, this is a perfect place to show off your images. The girl is a Saturated Canary image.

Inside I added a piece using the Paris Edges. The sentiment is Stampin Up’s Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Here’s a card I did for the Elizabeth Craft Design blog. Today I’ll be using the Cup Pop Stand to create a card.

I started with the Swirly Flourish Stencil and Suzanne Cannon’s A Way With Words Hello. I die cut 3 of the words and glued them together to get some height. Create a varied look with the stencil by changing the pressure of your sponge or ink applicator as you move from top to bottom. Then I splattered over that with dark brown ink and sponged the edges. Gold foil down the side and gold brads go with the gold filament behind the words.

Here’s the inside. Cut a 4 x 10 3/4 piece of paper and die cut the pop stand on the center fold. I repeated the sponging with the stencil on just the 2 corners.

The cup has a vellum card stock “swirl of smoke.”

The cup is cut from red polka dot paper twice. Flip the die for the second cut if your paper is blank or has a different pattern on back. The heart on the cup is from the Hanging Charm Pull Card tied with a little bit of Baker’s Twine. Cut the saucer from red paper and sponge the design on with red ink. Then die cut the saucer with a circle die.

To hold the Gift Card, I die cut the flourishes from the Oval Landscape Accordion and glued them down just at the three tips. It’s so cute – but I ended up using a small glue dot on the card to keep it from slipping during mailing.

Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Pop It Up Wednesday!
