PIU Oval Pull Card 01

It’s Day 1 for the Karen Burniston Design Team – and it’s Anything New!  For this card I choses the new Oval Pull Card die and the new Hot Air Ballon die.  The card size is 5 1/2 x 7  and uses Stampin Up’s Bloomin’ Love stamp set and Love Blossoms Designer Series paper.

I also used the new Pull Card Edges.  Wow do these dies make decorating your card easy! The mechanism that makes this card move can be placed wherever you choose to put it.  As you pull the card open, the Hot Air Balloon moves – cute!  All the Design Team cards will be on Karen’s blog this month!  Hugs, Fran

The mechanism pulls up to reveal the sentiment.  You can put this on a postcard style card and write your message on the back or put it on a regular card and have it open up.  The front background is done with  the paisley stencil and stencil paste on patterned paper.  Hugs, Fran

PIU Baker Beaver 01

Since I’ve turned 29 every year for quite a few years – this card is perfect!  Baker Beaver  and the Cake Pop Stand are a new dies for the Karen Burniston Pop It Ups dies.  Isn’t he cute?  Don’t you love the spatula?  That’s from the new Props 8.  It’s a full set of baking props. For the cake, I used just the largest cake layering piece and cut it down by 1/8″ for each layer. I’ve paired him with Stampin Up’s new Number of Years stamp set.  The sentiment “Look who’s turning” fits exactly on Karen’s new Pull Card Edges.  Baker and his cake are on an action wobble.  The paper is the very fun It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack from the Occasions Mini and the balloons are the new Balloon Bouquet Punch.

PIU Christmas front

Everyone is coming for Christmas!  Today my card features all the farm critters (plus Jolly) in true Home for Christmas style.  This 6 x 6 card is big – but so’s the family 🙂

PIU Christmas left front

Brownie is sporting a Santa-stash and glasses.  Cheeper is holding a candy cane.  And Jolly is bringing a present of cheese.  To attach the characters, the bottom layer (Brownie) is flat on the card.  The next layer is (Cheepers) is attached to Brownie.  And then Jolly is up on pop dots.  This gives it looks of dimension without being crazy.

William is helping with the garland and Snowball is wearing his Santa hat.  All the presents are popped up. The sentiment is from Project Life by Stampin Up Seasonal Snapshot 2015.

Inside, Cocoa the Horse is already home!  The garland  – which is pieces from the wreath in the Sleigh Gift Card die set – surrounds the Agatha Edge at the top.

This month the Karen Burniston Design Challenge is “Home for the Holidays.”

PIU House Pivot 02

For my first card, I went with the House Pivot die and did a triple pivot.  The papers are EDC Shimmer Sheets on the left and Stampin Up’s Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that the two greens matched perfectly! Since each paper is delicate, I started with a white card base and adhered them to that.  And yes, on the foil vellum I added the tiniest bit of glue under each tree and let it dry!  It’s Christmas!  The greeting is Lots of Joy.  The bottom “snow” is EDC Cool White glitter.

It’s very shiny!  That’s my reflection in the center 🙂  On the inside we find the neighbors – Jolly and Jolly – singing Christmas carols!

The neighborhood has an embossed tree.  Very fancy for these parts!

The mice live in brick houses- no plain mice holes around here!.

PIU IPhone Sleigh 01

I’m still using sparkly, shiny card stock!  I need a gift card holder for the season – always need them – so I pulled out some Brushed Silver card stock, some retired silver embossed Designer Series paper and Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups dies and made this one.

PIU IPhone Sleigh 01 open

Jolly the Mouse and Rudy the Reindeer are rockin’ out as they help Santa load the Pop It Up Sleigh with gift card holder!  The sleigh is Red Foil and Red Glimmer paper.  Rudy’s IPod is hand cut and the little records are circle punches.  The nice thing about this Pop It Up is it has a little side Pop It Up stand for Rudy.

Jolly has his Santa glasses on 🙂  Rudy’s nose is coated with Crystal Effects.  Lots of shine – lots of fun!  Hugs, Fran

This month’s challenge was to use one of Karen’s videos as the start of our cards!  I chose Karen’s Pop It Ups Spiral Pull Card video for this one.

Spiral Pull Card 03

Here is Jolly the Mouse waiting for Christmas on the front of a Spiral Pull Card and a clock using the Clock and Gears die.  The paper is Stampin Up’s Season of Cheer Designer Series paper. The card size is 6 x 8.

Spiral Pull Card 03 open

When you open the card, candy canes spiral out!  The canes are “double sided” so it looks nice on both sides.

Spiral Pull Card 03 Jolly

Even though Jolly is on both sides, he’s got a candy cane on the front and…..

a present on the other side.  Doesn’t he look excited!  Make sure you check out the other ideas from the team on Karen’s Facebook page.
