PIU Cup Pop Stand 02

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

Helping Me Grow 01

Helping Me Grow is found on page 20 of the Occasions Mini.  I cased the  Mini Treat Bag shown there and it it so cute@  Using watercolor paper, I stamped the image in Stazon ink and water colored it using ink and an aqua painter.  The little label is embossed in white and tied on the front using twine.  Hugs, Fran
