Flying High

PIU Hot Air Baloon 01

This card was made for a new baby (did you guess that?) Lots of hearts to welcome the new baby.

PIU Hot Air Balloon 01 inside

Inside I used Karen Burniston’s Hot Air Balloon Pop It Ups die.  The paper is a retired Stampin Up paper.  So while I was digging through my retire paper, I found this –

and it had to be a Hot Air Balloon card!

I also used Karen’s coordinating stamp set. What’s Up,  on this card for the sentiment and the little hot air balloons in the background.  This die is super easy to use so dig through your paper and get creating 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Challenge Day 2

PIU Fancy Label 01

Lucky the Rabbit is getting ready for Easter!  This month’s challenge is glitter and this card is covered with it!  It’s a Fancy Label Accordion – and a lot more.  Behind Lucky are some clouds stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Partly Cloudy stencil.  Lucky is painting an egg from the Easter Egg die all done with Silk Microfine Glitter.  His paintbrush is the spatula from Props 8.  I cut down the handle and dipped it glue and several colors of glitter.  The paint drops and splatters are from the Cake Pop Up (candle flames and strawberry tops.)

The edges are from the Star Fancy Edges and glittered too.

A Cup of Tea

I made it to hold a gift card in the middle.

Pop It Up Wednesday Sharing Coffee

A Coffee Gift Card holder card!

PIU Coffee 01

This is the front and….

PIU Coffee 01 open

This is the inside.

To make the inside of this card-

  1. Cut a piece of turquoise card stock 4 1/4 x 11″ and fold in the middle.
  2. Cut a piece of turquoise patterned paper 4 x 10 3/8 and fold in the middle.  Align the Sleigh Gift Card holder mechanism in the middle of the score line and run through your die cutting machine.
  3. Cut the cup out of pink card stock and the steam out of vellum.  Layer a 3/8 strip of white onto a 1/2 strip of black card stock.  The length doesn’t matter as long as it is longer than the cup is wide.  Die cut it from the cup where you want the band to be.
  4. Die cut 5 flowers from the All Season Tree in turquoise and adhere to the cup band.  Attach small pearls to the center of the flowers and attach to the cup. Adhere the cup to the Pop Up.
  5. Cut the edges of 2 pieces  4 1/4 x 5 1/2 of white card stock with the Paris Edges die.  This will give you plenty of room to place the white pieces on your card (see photo.)  Trim off the excess. Stamp the small cup from the Coffee & Tea Clear stamp set on the bottom edge of your card.

PIU Coffee 01 detail

For the front of the card –

PIU Coffee 01

  1. Use the new Paisley stencil over a 4 x 5 1/4″ piece of turquoise patterned paper and let dry.
  2. Cut the Paris edge the same way as you did for the inside and adhere to the front.
  3. Stamp the little cups the same way as you did for the inside.
  4. Cut a 2 x 4 1/2″ piece of white card stock and add a 2 1/2 piece of turquoise patterned paper to the bottom.  Wrap a pink ribbon around the paper. Stamp the images from the Coffee & Tea Clear stamp set as shown.  Punch a hole in the top and add ribbon.  Attach to the front using pop dots.

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
