I thought I’d make a card for Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Can you see who’s hiding in my coffee cup? Take a close look –

I used Stampin Up’s Botanical Builder Framelits for the flowers, the bird punch for the leaves and the English Garden Designer Series paper. The cup is from Karen Burniston’s Cup Pop Stand, stenciled with her Medallion stencil and some stencil paste. When you open it up –

Lucky the Rabbit pops outs! 🙂 The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Helping Me Grow. And hidden behind Lucky –

Is the Sleigh Gift Card Holder Pop Up by Karen Burniston. It’s holding a wonder Starbucks card!

To make Lucky’s arm hang over the cup, I simply snipped where it was attached. Instead of using a large pearl on the inside, I punched a small circle in white and use Crystal Effects over top of it. This will keep the bulk down. Enjoy your coffee! Hugs, Fran

I LOVE coffee! But more than that, I love drinking coffee with friends. Here’s a Hanging Charm Pull Card to celebrate friends and coffee! Using the new Karen Burniston Hanging Charm Pull Card die with the little coffee cup die and Stampin Up’s Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper, I did a simple card.

When you pull it up, you complete the sentiment. You can use this die to make flat cards (postcards) or decorate the front of a folding card – your choice. Today I did a folded card.

Pull Cards! The challenge this month is to use any of the Karen Burniston Pull dies to create cards. Today I’m using the Oval Pull Card.

I started with Stampin Up’s Hello Honey card stock base and the Botanical Gardens Designer Series paper. The cute palm tree is from one of Karen’s earlier collections called Palm Tree & Pail. The sentiment is from her new Cheeky Monkey Clear Stamp set. It’s easy to layer designer paper on the cards with Karen’s Pull Card Edges – and it’s fun!

On the inside I added Jinks the Monkey on the pop up piece from the Rectangle Pull Card. (The oval has a slider and the rectangle has a pop up – you need them both 🙂 )

Here’s a Rectangle Pull Card. This is such a great card because it has a nice, big front that can hold a good size image. If you like to color, this is a perfect place to show off your images. The girl is a Saturated Canary image.

Inside I added a piece using the Paris Edges. The sentiment is Stampin Up’s Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Here’s a card I did for the Elizabeth Craft Design blog. Today I’ll be using the Cup Pop Stand to create a card.

I started with the Swirly Flourish Stencil and Suzanne Cannon’s A Way With Words Hello. I die cut 3 of the words and glued them together to get some height. Create a varied look with the stencil by changing the pressure of your sponge or ink applicator as you move from top to bottom. Then I splattered over that with dark brown ink and sponged the edges. Gold foil down the side and gold brads go with the gold filament behind the words.

Here’s the inside. Cut a 4 x 10 3/4 piece of paper and die cut the pop stand on the center fold. I repeated the sponging with the stencil on just the 2 corners.

The cup has a vellum card stock “swirl of smoke.”

The cup is cut from red polka dot paper twice. Flip the die for the second cut if your paper is blank or has a different pattern on back. The heart on the cup is from the Hanging Charm Pull Card tied with a little bit of Baker’s Twine. Cut the saucer from red paper and sponge the design on with red ink. Then die cut the saucer with a circle die.

To hold the Gift Card, I die cut the flourishes from the Oval Landscape Accordion and glued them down just at the three tips. It’s so cute – but I ended up using a small glue dot on the card to keep it from slipping during mailing.

Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Pop It Up Wednesday!

Cards, Hot Air Balloon

This card was made for a new baby (did you guess that?) Lots of hearts to welcome the new baby.

Inside I used Karen Burniston’s Hot Air Balloon Pop It Ups die. The paper is a retired Stampin Up paper. So while I was digging through my retire paper, I found this –

and it had to be a Hot Air Balloon card!

I also used Karen’s coordinating stamp set. What’s Up, on this card for the sentiment and the little hot air balloons in the background. This die is super easy to use so dig through your paper and get creating 🙂 Hugs, Fran

I saw this idea on several sites and had to make one. The die is cut out and replaced over a sponged background. It gives the prettiest effect!

Think of all the color combinations you could use! Or you could just leave it white and do this –

The center of the butterfly is fishing string coated with glitter. The bottom of the card is Karen Burniston’s Agatha Edges.

Some pretty ideas to try! Hugs, Fran

Lucky the Rabbit is getting ready for Easter! This month’s challenge is glitter and this card is covered with it! It’s a Fancy Label Accordion – and a lot more. Behind Lucky are some clouds stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Partly Cloudy stencil. Lucky is painting an egg from the Easter Egg die all done with Silk Microfine Glitter. His paintbrush is the spatula from Props 8. I cut down the handle and dipped it glue and several colors of glitter. The paint drops and splatters are from the Cake Pop Up (candle flames and strawberry tops.)

The edges are from the Star Fancy Edges and glittered too.

Here’s the card open!

The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s new Greatest Greetings. To make the paint bucket, I used Lucky’s basket cut in Silver foil with drops of glue and glitter. Make sure to check out the other cards on Karen’s Blog! Hugs, Fran

Glitter! This month challenge is glitter. That wonderful, sparkly stuff (that stays with all day) and makes all our cards special 🙂 Today’s card is Rocky the crab on an Oval Pull Card. He’s out on the sparkly sand. His sunglasses are the Santa glasses from Props 5 covered in Crystal Effects. His bright, sunny paper is Stampin Up’s Schoolhouse Designer Series paper.

Glitter is hard to photograph! It was done with the ECD Silk Microfine glitter in Cool Diamonds.

Here’s the inside. The sun is on the mechanism from the Rectangle Pull card and it’s covered in glitter. The sentiment is computer generated.

Here’s Rocky taking a better look! I’m wearing glitter today. Check out the other cards on Karen’s blog. Have a sparkly day – Hugs, Fran

One more Hanging Charm Pull Card from Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups – this one using the heart charm. The paper is Stampin UP’s Timeless Elegance Designer Series paper.

This is how it looks when it’s pulled up. It reveals an embossed sentiment from Stampin Up’s Hostess set , Happy Birthday Everyone. Around the outside of the opening, I used Elizabeth Craft Design Peel Off Stickers.
