Karen Burniston challenged us to use any of her new Pop It Ups dies to create anything we wanted – makes my head spin!  I decided to use her Pop It Ups Accordion Fancy Label to create a birthday card.  The “Happy Birthday” is an Elizabeth Craft Design die that is so nice and thin I could bend is in an arc across the front.  The flower is a stack of Petite Petal punch flowers scrunched to make a little flower.  The little banner is the new banner punch in the SAB mini – rounded with an oval punch on the top.

Here it is open.  The center square is embossed using My Friend.  The “to You” is made up of the “You” in the ECD die Thank You and the “to” is the T from birthday and O from you.  (Does that make sense?)  The die for the Red Glimmer paper diamonds in the corner comes with the Accordion Fancy Label die!

Supplies
Stamp Set – My Friend
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Red Glimmer paper, Basic Black, Modern Medley DSP
Ink – Versamark
Etc – Pop It Ups Accordion Fancy Label, ECD Happy Birthday and Thank You dies, Small banner punch, Petite Petal punch, Candy dots

Lots of fun!  Hugs, Fran

Here’s another Scallop Tap Topper fancy fold card – this time with butterflies.  This is a very simple card but the use of rhinestones for the center of the butterflies gives it some “pop.”  I colored the rhinestones with a Copic marker – love that idea!  I can have any color rhinestone (or pearl) by simply coloring them with a Copic marker or a Sharpie.

Supplies
Stamp Set – My Friend
Cardstock – Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Scallop Tag Topper punch, Large and small butterfly punches, rhinestones, Summer Starfruit ribbon

Did you try this fold yet?  (Are you hooked?!)  Hugs, Fran

So Very Grateful

This card is a side-ways extended Circle Card Thinlit using So Very Grateful from the current mini catalog.  I stamped the image in Stazon and colored it with Stampin Write Markers and added a few pearl to the centers of some of the flowers.  The scallop on the side uses the Tasteful Trim die.

To make the extended card I cut my cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 and placed it under the die – pulling the end up and over so that it doesn’t get cut.  This leaves the top part of the die empty.  Then I folded the left side on the score lines and scored again at 5 1/2. 

I used a sentiment from Petite Pairs on the inside of the circle.

This butterfly image is spectacular – and large!  To make this card, I stamp the image and then drew a line around it 3/8 of an inch all the way around without touching the butterfly or the sentiment.

Sale a bration starts January 22!
This is a mash up of a design that KYsouthernbelle did on Splitcoast.  I don’t have the set she used, but I did case the scoring on the bottom of the card and the color scheme.  At the moment, this is my favorite Sale a bration set (subject to change at any minute!)
