Mingle All the Way

Mingle All the Way 01

My favorite new thing in the Holiday Mini?  The Gift Box Punch Board of course!  This wonderful tool makes the cutest boxes is many sizes – the largest being 4 x 4.  Here I used the new Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series paper to create a Christmas box.  The paper is really heavy – perfect for these boxes! Around the sides I added trees.  There is a new punch in the mini that makes trees – but these were made with the banner punch.  I topped it off with the new Mingle All the Way stamp set and the Banner Framelits.

Supplies

Stamp Set – Mingle All the Way

Card stock – Under the Tree DSP, Whisper White. Garden Green DSP, Not Quite Navy

Ink – Jet Black Stazon

Etc – Stampin Write markers (Real Red, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy) Gift Box Punch Board, Pennant punch, Banner Framelits, Cherry Cobbler Linen ribbon, Linen thread

Freaky Friends Treat Bags

Freaky Friends 01

Boo bags!  These cute bags are made with the Polka Dot Ta A Bag Gift Bags.  I stamped “Boo” with the Larger Than Life Alphabet and made a tag with Freaky Friends. The tag is clipped on with one of the In Color Clothespins.  This is the first one I did – then I realized that when filled, the “boo” no longer shows.  To fix that, I moved the words up about 1 inch.

Poppy Photo Props

Poppy 03

Day 2 of the “Character Challenge!” Here is Poppy – a character die from Karen Burniston – playing with his photo props!  He has a bowler hat, glasses, lips and mustache to hide his true identity.  The background is stamped with Stampin Up’s Chevron and Dictionary background stamps with some Epic Day washi tape and Candy Dots to set it off.  The “Guess Who” was stamped with the new SU Alphabet rotary stamp.  And when Poppy’s mask comes off –

There he is – looking dapper.  Each item from Karen’s  Props 1 dies was attached to a strip of Crumb Cake card stock, stacked, and then attached to Poppy’s wing with a mini brad.  And here’s one more Poppy idea for those prize winning papers your children are sure to be bringing home from school this year –

Chilly and Hoppy

Chilly 03

Today is Challenge day for the Karen Burniston Design Team!  This month we were challenged to use the characters – Chilly, Hoppy and Poppy!  On this project I used Chilly to decorate a jar for gift giving.  There are 6 Chillies around this blue Bell jar and some sweet snowflakes from Karen’s Garden Bench die.  I added rhinestones so he could have some bling.

Chilly 03 detail

I used Stampin Up’s Oh My Goodies to make the label for the top which matches the  Deco Label Collection Framelits – that were designed by Karen!  Stamped in Real Red and then again in Basic Black, the center is punch with an oval punch and popped up.  I tied the rim with some Real Red cotton ribbon.  Then I filled the jar with peppermints!

Hoppy 03

Next I made a card using Stampin Up’s new In Colors and Flowerpot Designer Series paper. Again I used Oh My Goodies and the Deco Label Collection for the front. The edges of the card are done using two of Karen’s Agatha edges.

Hoppy 03 inside

And inside is Hoppy on Karen’s Lorna Label PopUp.  He’s sitting by his pond with a Stampin’ Up’s Just Sayin die cut with the Chalk Talk dies.  Hoppy comes with his own lily pad and flies!  I attached the flies to some fishing line and mounted them between the lily pads.

Hoppy 03 detail

The flower is from Stampin Up’s Flower Patch (that also has a matching Framelit set.)  Hoppy is done in Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz.  His “pond” is in Lost Lagoon.  Hope you are enjoying meeting the characters!  Check out the rest of the gang by visiting Karen’s Facebook page and seeing what the rest of the team has created!  And come back tomorrow to see what’s going on with Poppy!  Hugs, Fran

This is my June Project Life by Stampin Up card.   I die cut a heart and added strips of the Moonlight Designer Series paper behind it.  Then I stamped the month with Project Life Day to Day.
