Uncle Sam Pop N Cuts

Let’s celebrate the 4th of July with a Pop N Cuts card!  Karen Burniston has put a really cute template on her blog made to fit the exclusive SU Dress Form Pop Up – and he’s soooo cute!  I used the Stampin Up base die to make the front – along with the Make a Wish stamp set and Glimmer Paper for some star dies.

And here he is – inviting everyone to celebrate with him   The free template makes is easy to put him together.

Since I was so shamelessly casing Karen’s card – I changed the background and the placement of Uncle Sam’s hat. 

I used a piece of window sheet to pop up the stars behind him.  I just cut some small slits in the fold of the table to create another level to pop up.  The blue stars are really silver stars colored with Night of Navy reinker and a sponge dauber.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Make a Wish
card stock – Whisper White, Brights, Subtles and Neutrals paper packs, Silver and Red Glimmer papers
Ink – Night of Navy, Real Red
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base and Dress Form insert, window sheet, Star die or punches. Uncle Sam template

So there you go – Uncle Sam wants YOU to create a Pop N Cut card!  Hugs, Fran

Bling Tree

Here’s a totally different take on the Medallion Christmas Tree – bling!  I made this one with the First Edition Designer Series paper and Champagne Glass glitter.  (The cutting and assembly for this tree can be found here.)




I applied the glitter with Tombow Multipurpose glue after the medallions were made – but before they were assembled.



The star on top is an ornament.  I just snipped the loop off the top and hot glued it down.  The base is a hurricane candle holder tied with Whisper White organza ribbon.  Tomorrow I’ll show you another “look!”  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

Little Boys, Little Girls

The Last Chance List is here!  Wonderful stuff – and it won’t last long!

Continuing on with the apron theme – a little boy’s overalls.  This is a one-sy template with the apron on top.  I used my 1 3/8″ square punch to punch out the neckline.  There’s lots of piercing for stitch lines – and brads.  The flowers are only there because I couldn’t find a frog! 



Then for a little girl – a carriage made with the Circle Scallop Big Shot Die.





I ran the center stip through my Big Shot using a Texturz Plate.  The wheels are Seeing Spots and the sentiment is Curvy Verses.  (I’m thinking the carriage could also be a Pacman!)  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
