This is Vicki O’Dell’s card for the Karen Burniston Designing with Friends challenge! She chose the Circle Accordion die and made a beautiful thank you card. You can see the rest of her card here. Thanks, Vicki, for playing with me 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Tag: Pop It Ups
Pop It Up From the Herd
Karen Burniston has come out with a new line of Pop It Ups – and they fit perfectly with the stamp set From the Herd! One the dies is the Barn Pop Stand (1021). I used it on the front of this card! And the doors slide open and closed!
Inside is Cheepers the Chicken (1023), Brownie the Cow (1022), and Virgil the Pig (1024)! And they are all celebrating 🙂
The party hat is from Props 2 and the balloons are from the Spiral Pull Card. What a fun, fun set of dies!
Make ‘Em Laugh (or maybe just smile)
Second day of the Make ‘Em Laugh Challenge for the Karen Burniston Design Team. This card might just “squeeze by” as funny. The card is 6 x 6 and uses the Beach Edges and Palm Tree and Pail dies along with some of the words from the Photopolymer stamp set Countless Sayings #2.
The inside finds Rocky taking a bath in the Bathtub Pop Stand die under the palm trees! The sentiment is from So You.
The tub and bubbles are made from white Shimmer Sheets. Pop over to Karen’s Facebook page to see the rest of the cards for this challenge!
Groovy Baby March Designer Challenge
Today is the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for March – Funny Cards! I started with Whiskers the Cat, the Oval and Rectangular Accordion dies and Flashback Designer Series paper. Whiskers is looking pretty sharp in his 70’s garb and bling glasses! His scarf is the collar with a hand cut little piece at the end. “Groovy” is from Groovy Love.
Inside is a sentiment from one of the SU Photopolymer stamps – Bombs Away Birthday. It has some really fun sayings. You can “rock on” by heading over Facebook to Karen’s page to see what all the other designers have created this month!
Birthday Pull Card
It’s been snowing here – really, really snowing. 17 inches of snow! So I’ve been coloring 🙂 This is Saturated Canary’s Ellie’s Birthday on a Pop It Ups Rectangular Pull Card using Remembering Your Birthday as the sentiment on Best Year Ever Designer Series paper – colored with Copic markers! Did I mention we had a big snow?
When you open it up, balloons from Pop It Ups Props 2 and packages from the Evergreen Pivot card decorate the inside.
And the sentiment says it all! I’ve pulled everything I own out while doing this card! (Did I mention it snowed?) Hugs, Fran
Park Lane Rectangular Pull Card
Still snowed in so I’m playing with my Copic Markers. This image is Saturated Canary’s Willow. I used the Park Lane Designer Series paper and Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups Rectangular Pull Card and Paris Edges dies to create the card. The wonderful thing about using this die is that these images fit perfectly on the front. So my practice pieces don’t just sit in a pile – they become cards.
On the inside I used a sentiment from Bloom with Hope. There are some very beautiful sayings in this set – but this one is my favorite. Hugs, Fran
Do More of What Makes You Happy
Doesn’t this say it all? This stamp is from Hello, Life and it’s large! (The card is 6 x 6) I adhered it to some Flower Pot Designer Series paper with an old flower die cut. The small flowers stamped around the sentiment are from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set. It has some wonderful background style stamps in it! So what makes me happy?
A bathtub full of flowers! The stand up part is from Karen Burniston’s Bathtub Pop Stand die, die cut from some white Shimmer Sheet. The flowers filling the tub are from my stash and the leaves are the Build a Bird punch. The tub faucet is cut from SU Silver Foil paper. Since it needed to be mirrored, and the paper is white on the back, I used a silver leaf pen to color the back of the paper.
I used a retired embossing folder on the tub and it’s so pretty in real life! My tub runneth over! 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Funky Cakes Big Day
Sparkly, birthday fun! This is the Sale-a-bration set, Big Day, combined with some EDC Peel Offs called Funky Cakes – and lots of glitter- on a Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups Rectangular Accordion die and Oval Accordion die. The paper is Birthday Bash Specialty paper and all the colors are taken from this color combo. I colored the cake with Blendabilities and Copics. I masked off half the sentiment, stamped it twice, and popped up the “celebrate.”
Bright and happy! The Oval Accordion has the rest of the sentiment from the front. (Again, mask off and stamp) Looks like a party to me! Hugs, Fran
Beachy Thoughts Challenge Day 2
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.
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
I Think of You
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
