Today I used Karen’s Confetti Tunnel card video to make my card!  This was fun!

PIU Confetti Tunnel 01 front

I started with the Gift Card Accordion die and the Flourishes frame.  Whiskers the Cat is celebrating with a hand cut cake that is spilling over into the confetti tunnel.

Here’s the open card.  The paper is a retired (very retired) Stampin Up paper.

And here’s my card –

PIU Brownie 04

 

Good ol’ Brownie the Cow on a Pop It Ups Rectangular Pull Card!  He’s celebrating !  The background stamp is Stampin UP’s Hardwood.  Love the barbed wire – it’s the Pop It Ups Western Edges.

The party’s gotten out of control and Brownie’s having a good time!  His costume is from the Pop It Ups Props 1 and 2.  The stamps are Karen Burniston’s  Farm Greetings and the balloons are from the Spiral Pull Card.  Check out the other cards for this challenge – and play along!  Hugs, Fran

Celebrate Today 02

 

I have more family birthdays coming up and so I got out Celebrate Today and the matching die to make this card.  The Designer Series paper is Schoolhouse and I love the color combo in this paper.  I used Karen Burniston’s Agatha Edges to add an accent.

Inside I used the Pop It Ups new Sleigh Gift Card – without the sleigh!  I simply added a piece of window sheet in the opening so the balloon basket would have a little more support.

Here’s what it looks like from the side.  I love that this die can be used on it’s own!  So versatile!  Hugs, Fran

All About Sugar 01

 

Summer birthdays!  (Or 4th of July – but that was last weekend!)  We have some very special summer birthdays and I always like to create decorations and party favors to help us celebrate.  This is the French Fry box and All About Sugar stamp set.  The little “party” banner is on a lollipop stick and the Fry box has a star die cut from the center with sequins between acetate.  A little bling for the party.

The box was made with the new heavy Whisper White card stock and stamp in Real Red.  Time to party!  Hugs, Fran

Crazy About You 01

 

There is a cute card on page 106 of the new catalog using the Crazy About You stamp set for a square, maybe 4 x 4 , card.  I love the look but wanted a bigger card so I simply took the elements of that card and put it on a 4 1 /4 x 11 piece of Blushing Bride that was embossed with the Decorative Dots embossing folder.  You could also do the reverse – take a large sample and make it smaller.  Or take your favorite design and see how many different sizes you can do!  Stretch those stamp sets!  Hugs, Fran

Many Candles

Build a Birthday 04

 

Candles, candles, everywhere!  I stamped candles from Build a Birthday across the front of this card in Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder and added flames in Crushed Curry.  The strip under the sentiment is actually the Cherry on Top Washi tape with Whisper White under it.  (yes, I could have used the DSP – no, I didn’t even think about it!)

A little Dazzling Details on the flames to make them sparkle.  The scallop border punch is retired (wwwwhhhhaaatt???)  and the sentiment is die cut using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits.  A little birthday fun.  Hugs, Fran

Age Awareness 02

 

One more Gift Bag Punch Board bag – a shaker bag.  I used the Deco Label Framelits to make the opening.  Take 2 piece of acetate (a window sheet or packaging work too), use tape around the edges to make a pouch and fill it with stars and confetti.  Attach it to the back of the opening.  Stamp the ballon and adhere it to the front and add a sentiment.  You could use lots of different framelits!  Hope you have a great weekend!  Hugs, Fran

Build a Birthday 02

 

This is a 9 x 4 inch card – a BIG birthday wish!  Using Build a Birthday and Perfect Pennants, it’s a stack of birthday goodness.  Since Build a Birthday is a photopolymer stamp, it’s easy to stack them up. I add some stitching up and down one side and some Crystal Effects.  The Designer Series Paper is Cherry on Top. And the Envelope Punch Board makes an envelope for this side!  Hugs, Fran

Amazing Birthday 04

This Hamburger Box die is made using the Irresistible DSP that was available in the SAB catalog – and it’s “cousin” is making it’s debut in the new catalog!  I decided to brayer the paper in the new In Color – Delightful Dijon.  I actually love this new color!  It’s a deep mustard (think More Mustard) and is a nice compliment to the other yellows in the color families.  Here I paired it with Bermuda Bay – Amazing Birthday stamp set – and some strips of card stock to look like ribbon.  They are glued to the box so that it opens without any fuss.  The bow at the top is 4 Bow Builder punches just stacked on top of each other with a Paper Doily underneath,  I topped it all off with a pearl.  This started out as a case of a project in the New Catalog – with a few turns along the way 🙂  Hugs, Fran
