Continue the fun! I used the Karen Burniston’s Accordion Circle die again to create a Mother’s day card . This card features the Spiral Rose die – expanded with the blossom punch – and the butterfly from Backyard Basics on the front. The piece underneath the rose is from Daydream Medallions. It looks so pretty on the Happy Watercolor paper. The instructions for the spiral rose can be found here.
This is the card opened – The center sentiment is from Lots of Thanks – a great sentiment for my mom! I continued with Daydream Medallions and butterflies. To finish the card I covered the back with more Happy Watercolor DSP and put 2 butterflies so that the wings from the front are covered.

Here’s another example of the Lattice die using the full die cut. The outer die cut is the Window Frame Framelit. It uses the same supplies as this card – just a variation (since this die has now come out of hiding!) The tutorial for this card was featured in my newsletter yesterday. You could also stamp the sentiment on the inside if you just wanted to showcase the die cuts.

This must be my favorite suite of products in the mini catalog – Happy Watercolor and Designer Series paper that matches. Here I used Karen Burniston’s Katie Label Pivot Pop It Up to make a card using the Watercolor Wonder DSP to show off the sentiment.
The paper has such pretty designs! A pivot card is a nice way to show them off. And I love polka dots so the Distressed Dots embossing folder was perfect here. (and it’s a Saleabration item!)
I even used it on the Pansy Punch!

This Pop It Up Oval Accordion card plus the Oval Dots Frame Edges features the Seasons Tree die – all by Karen Burniston – and the Lots of Thanks stamp set.
Here it is open. You can see all the “seasons” together.
I started with winter (since that is where
we are at the moment!) The base of the entire card is Soft Sky and the
Oval Dots Frame edge is Whisper White. I used a gel pen to make the
snow on the branches.
Spring uses Pistachio Pudding and Garden Green leaves with Pink Pirouette DSP flowers and the In Color paper pack for the frame.
Summer has a Garden Green Flourish Edge. The apples are Real Red. There two pieces that can be used as clouds or the leaves on the tree – that I used for the tree.
Fall brings us to Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze leaves. The framed area from Eastern Elegance DSP. All the tress are Chocolate Chip.
It was so much fun to create these little scenes! Thank You for all you do all year long! Hugs, Fran
This Designer Series paper is Afternoon Tea – so pretty! I used it to make a circle flip card and to show off one of the greetings from Really Good Greetings. This is an extra long flip card made with the Thinlit die. To do this you cut your cardstock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and pull the end over the thinlit instead of just laying the card stock underneath. The thinlit makes a mark at the end – but doesn’t cut through because the card stock is on top. You simply fold at this mark.
I put the inside sentiment from Lots of Thanks on the underneath side of the circle. We will be making this card (and others!) at stamp club tomorrow

This card is a case of my own card I used Perfect Blend and the bright, sunny Gingham Garden Designer Series paper to create this Pop N Cuts Thank You – that also holds a gift card.
The coffee cups are paper pieced – so easy to do with this stamp! The gift card is tucked inside a little envelope – closed with a Flower Shop flower. The Label insert is perfect for so many things. It’s easy to dress up with just about any stamp set – and there are sets designed to fit it exactly.

Here’s a take on another Karen Burniston Pop N Cuts class card. I used the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base die to create the card. The Designer Series paper is Etcetera – a nice vintage paper. The front is a Label Framelit cut with the Cordinations Early Espresso paper, sanded, and a piece of Calypso Coral Chevron ribbon. The mug is from the insert (coming up) and the heart is from the Hearts Framelits. I covered it in Crystal Effects – and I mean covered it! I wasn’t paying attention and got a ton of it on there!
This is the Mug & Heart insert – so cute! After I die cut the inside, I cut the mug out again in Soft Suede and ran it through my Big Shot using the Modern Mosaic embossing folder.
Then I went over the design with Crystal Effects and added an image from Notable Notions to the front.
The sentiment is from Lots of Thanks – and that’s Epic Day Washi tape on the sides.
Stamp Sets – Notable Notions, Lots of Thanks

Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base die, Sizzix Mug & Hearts insert, Crystal Effects, Circle punches, Epic Day Washi tape, Label Framlit and Heart Framelit, Modern Mosaic embossing folder
Other than needing some time to dry because of my heavy hand with the Crystal Effects – this card was easy and fun to make! Hugs, Fran
