When pulled up it says “Coffee solves everything” which is my motto in life 🙂  This one is a postcard style and your message can be written on the back.  Love this die !  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful Ride

Beautiful Ride 01

This is my take on the Beautiful Ride card shown on page 15 in the Occasions Catalog. I used Pacific Point and Pool Party. (I believe the sample is Bermuda Bay and Pool Party – but hey!) I stamped the car in Pacific Point on Pool Party yardstick and added some color using a blender pen.  The suitcases were colored with Stampin Write Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the top of the card.  Hugs, Fran

This is how it looks when it’s pulled up.  It reveals an embossed sentiment from Stampin Up’s Hostess set , Happy Birthday Everyone.  Around the outside of the opening, I used Elizabeth Craft Design Peel Off Stickers.

Hanging Charm Pull Tab Heart

PIU Charm 02

Sending Love on a string!  This Karen Burniston Hanging Charm Pull Card using the heart charm is perfect for Valentine Day.  I used Stampin Ups beautiful Love Blossoms  Designer Series Paper for the center.

Love You Sew

Love You Sew 01

Isn’t this a great sentiment?  This is Love You Sew, a hostess set from the Occasions Mini.  I paired it with Number of Years and the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper to make this card. I could give out lots of this card – even give one to myself!  Hugs, Fran

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.

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

Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge Day 2

PIU Jinx 02

Or “Jinx in the Jungle!”  This 6 x 6 card features Karen Burniston’s new character, Jinx, on an action wobble.  He’s backed by some awesome banana embossing!  Doesn’t everyone need a banana embossing folder?  The paper is Stampin Up’s Botanical Garden and Botanical Gardens washi tape.

PIU Jinx 02 open

Inside, he’s joined by a barrel of his friends!  Tossing bananas, no less!  They are sitting in Karen’s new Barrel Basket die on the Lots of Pops die. The Barrel Basket die comes with a Pop Stand if you want the card to open flat. The banana embossing at the top is done on the new Pull Card Edges.
