June Pop It Ups Designer Challenge – Ahoy, Dad

Day 2 of the Pop It Ups Designer Challenge brings me to Father’s Day.  I used Karen Burniston’s Circle Accordion Album  and Stampin Up’s Swirly Bird to make a fun Father’s Day card for any sea loving dad!

I also used Stampin Up”s Guy Greetings for the middle of my card.  I love how the Ring Album die lets you chose the length of your card!  Hope you enjoy this nautical look.  Make sure to check out Karen’s blog to see the other summer cards!  Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston August Challenge 3

One more Inspiration Challenge card!  This one is inspired by Frances Byrne (and her amazing scenes!)  I did a mixed Circle/Ring Accordion Album using some Mo Manning digital stamps, Stampin Up sentiment, punches and paper.

I also used some Ring Frame Edges on the middle pieces.  The flag at the top is shown on both sides and makes the card measure 5 1/2 x 5 1/2.

Then I sprinkles stars all around – various punches and dies 🙂  Make sure to hop over to Karen’s Facebook page to check out all the challenge pieces!  They really are inspiring!.

To a Classic

Guy Greetings 03

The challenge for Karen Burniston’s design team continues today to use 3 or more Pop It Ups die to create a card.  For this card I used the Star accordion die, Star Edge, and Circle Accordion die.  The stamp set is Guy Greetings from the Occasions Mini.

To get the “Grandfather” in the center of the card, I masked off the “pa” part of Grandpa and stamped it with “Father.”  Since I was using Photopolymer stamps – it was easy.  The Star and Circle Accordion dies go together nicely (no fiddling around – the just work together!)  This was fun to make!  Hugs, Fran

Tee Hee Hee

It suddenly turned Fall around here this weekend!  A perfect time for Karen Burniston’s Halloween challenge – and a great time to start creating those spooky creations.  I used the Accordion Circle  die with the solid edge and the new Tee Hee Hee set from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini.  On the front, the cauldron, bubbling away. (Those bubbles are some old floral/vase fillers)

Do you think the witch was doing her laundry before the big day?  Or just conjuring up her spooky attire?
