This simple 6 x 6 card holds a fun surprise –
A Pop It Up Flower Pot Stand coming soon from Karen Burniston! You really have to see it in action – the pot folds flat and practically explodes when you open the card!
I used some retired Stampin Up paper to create this pot. The butterflies are on wires and everything fits nicely inside the card. What a wonderful way to surprise a friend! Go to Karen’s blog or Facebook page to see what else is coming soon. Hugs, Fran
Karen Burniston has a new Pop It Ups release Coming Soon and it includes some very cute Halloween dies! This is Midnight the bat and the new Bat Stencil – LOVE! To make this card, I used the stencil with embossing paste and Stampin Up’s black ink refill to color it. I stenciled on some retired Stampin Up Halloween patterned paper. The moon is a punch with some Smoky Slate ink sponged across it. Midnight the Bat is done in Basic Gray card stock with a red glitter bow tie. And the stamp is die cut with Karen’s new Labels and Circles dies.
The best part of this card? Midnight the Bat is on an action wobbler! He’s so cute wobbling on the front! There are a lot of fun dies in this release! Pop over to Karen’s blog or Facebook page to see what else is coming! Hugs, Fran
This challenge is Stretch it Out – which means accordion albums to me! I chose the Pop It Up Rectangular Accordion die and Rocky the Crab along with Stampin Up’s By the Shore Designer Series paper.
I used Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter on Very Vanilla card stock for the sand. The “Thanks” dangling from the top is stamped on both sides so you can read it open or closed. I also used Pop It Ups Palm Tree and Pail, Oval Pull Card, and Props 3 to create the different scenes.
The sentiment is Stampin Up’s Thankful Thoughts. Don’t you wish you could stretch out summer like an accordion? Check Karen’s Facebook page to see all the Stretch it Out designs! Hugs, Fran
This month’s group challenge is “Up!” so I decided to work with Bella & Friends again to create an encouragement card. I started with Karen Burniston’s cloud stencil on some Soft Sky card stock. The image is watercolored.
I love the stencil on this color. It creates such a soft, pretty background.
Inside I used the Lots of Pops die – one of my favorites because it works with so many different situations. I left the two side “pops” in and just used the ones in the center. This Bella is the one with the turtle. She’s riding in the Hot Air Balloon die (another very versatile die!) with clouds floating in the background
The banner is just scraps from the Subtles Designer paper pack. Up, up and away! Make sure to check Karen’s blog to see all the other designer’s cards! Hugs, Fran
For this Bella card, I stenciled the background using Karen Burniston’s flower stencil using embossing paste. After watercoloring the image, I popped up the balloon and scalloped the bottom of the card. I think this is such a sweet stamp – perfect for so many things! Hugs, Fran
Who’s that hiding in the background?
This was a thank you card I made using Karen Burniston’s Snowball the Sheep and Lots of Pops die. I used some now retired SU Designer paper and the banner punch.
Looks like Snowball is a part of the group now! Hugs, Fran
This is an easy shaker front for a cute Congrats card. Little shaker hearts using the heart from Karen Burniston’s Oval Pull card! But there’s a surprise inside!
Hoppy the Frog – otherwise know as Prince Charming 🙂 He sits on a Pop It Ups Lucy Label Pop It Ups.
This sentiment is computer generated and place on some Silver Foil paper.
He looks happy to see you 🙂 Want the tutorial on how to make this card? Head over to the Elizabeth Craft Design blog. Hugs, Fran
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
I had some scrapbook paper that I thought might make a good Karen Burniston Pop It Ups Hanging Charm Pull card. Using the new Baby Charms and the paper on the page, I made a 5 x 7 card for a new bundle of joy.
The card is flat, so I put a few more elements on the back for writing the message.
Almost makes me want to scrapbook again! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a 6 x 6 Shower card made with Karen Burniston’s Stage It Stencils – Rain, and Baby Charms. The Night of Navy base was cut 6 x 11 and scored at 6″. This leaves you a 1″ area at the bottom for your sentiment. The rain was done in a Micorbead Embossing paste and Wisteria Wonder ink.
This is the inside (and kind of the outside too!) The sentiment is computer generated. Hugs, Fran
