Setting Sail 02

Today is the second day of Karen Burniston’s Designer Challenge and I’m showing you my “cute” card – Rocky on the beach!  He’s having a great time while I’m sitting in the snow 🙂  This is a 3 x 6 card using the EDC die Tags and More 3 as the base.  The stamp set is a SU Photopolymer set called Setting’ Sail.

Setting Sail 02 open

On the inside I added the Pop It Ups mechanism from the Rectangular Pull card so that Rocky pops out into the water when you open it.  The little trees in the background are the Beach Edges dies.  The colors used are Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight.  I hope you are enjoying the teams artsy and cute cards!  Hugs, Fran

World of Dreams 02

The Karen Burniston Designer Challenge this month is to do an “artsy” card and a “cute” card.  This is my artsy card, using World of Dreams stamp set and Typeset Designer Series paper and the Double High technique.  Since this paper is very light (book page) I decided to paint it with acrylic paint to add some heft, and then splattered it with black ink.  I embossed the image on the front with black embossing powder, added some Crumb Cake seam binding, washi tape, some punches from the Bird Builder punch and a button.

On the inside I used a Happy Birthday sticker and the ECD die Berry Branch.  Fun to make – and hard to quit adding things to it!  I hope you’ll check out all the projects on Karen’s Facebook page.  Hugs, Fran

Rectangular Accordion 04

 

One of the Copic classes I took at Kit and Clowder is a Whimsical Project class.  This is one of the images from TiddlyInks, Fairy Sunny, that we colored.  I put it on a Pop It Ups Rectangular Accordion Album die by Karen Burniston and it fit perfectly!  I love when I can use my practice images!  The card is cut from Soft Sky cardstock and has a Whisper White Katie Label Flourish Edge die from Pop It Ups around it.

On the inside I used a sentiment from the hostess set Bloom with Hope.  It’s my favorite sentiment!  “When my mind wanders, I eventually find it thinking of you.”  So perfect for so many things!

I love that the image fit on this die – and I love being able to use it for something other than my pile collection of practice pieces!  Hugs, Fran

Eifel Tower 02

Ooo la la!  It’s Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups Paris Edges on the front of a Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and Basic Black card!  The girl image is Julie Nutting Doll Stamp 1.  This is a 6 x 6 card and the color combo is one of my favorites.

And of course the inside is the Pop It Ups Eiffel Tower!  Sentiment is Stampin Up’s Fabulous Four – and it’s perfect for this card!

I just love how the card lays flat when it’s opened!  Hugs, Fran

Banner Banter 02

Every had an idea in your head – and it turns out as something completely different?  Well that would be this card!  Using the colors from the Stacked with Love DSP, I ended up doing a Karen Burniston Katie Label Pop It Ups Pivot card using Banner Banter as the stamp set.

But I didn’t really use the DSP (just a tiny piece inside) just Back to Black and some Beach House washi tape.  Hugs, Fran

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

Spiral Pull Card 02

Today starts the January Challenges for the Karen Burniston Design Team!  This month’s challenge was to create a card using 3 or more Pop It Ups dies.  For my first card I used the Spiral Circle Pull Card  – with the Paris Edges and an EDC Snowflake die.

Hey Valentine 01

I love this Valentine set from the Occasions Mini – Hey Valentine!  For this card, I colored the fish with my Blendabilities and used Karen Burniston’s new Rectangular Pull Card for the card.  The “wave” edge is her new Beach Edges. The glasses on the yellow fish are filled with Crystal Effects 🙂

Hey Valentine 01 opening

As you open the card, there is a mechanism (optional) that pops up so your card becomes even more interactive!  Too cute!

The paper is from the Saleabration pack – Best Year Ever.  Perfect for water, snow or sky. You need some!!  Hugs, Fran

Mother's Love 01

 

Lot’s of new things here!  The stamp set is Mother’s Love and is in the Occasions Mini.  It has great sentiments – and some beautiful flowers.  The paper is the Something Borrowed Designer Series paper (also in the Occasions Mini – page 42 – check it out!  It’s beautiful!)  AND the Katie Label die from Karen Burniston is a wonderful die to showcase all these pretty products!

I even added some of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim – just because it all goes together so well.  Hugs, Fran

Love is Kindness 02

This card is the new Tags Pivot Card from Karen Burniston.  I paired it up with Stampin Up’s Love is Kindness in the Occasions Mini.  The card base is stamped with the Dictionary background stamp and the image was stamped, colored with Blendabilities and fussy cut.  A little Typeset Designer Series paper and some Chevron ribbon finishes off this card.

There is a little, tiny piece of one of the flowers that was added to the front to keep the bouquet full.  Hugs, Fran
