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
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
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.
On the inside I used some more snowflakes from All Seasons Tree. The sentiment is Stamping Up’s Blessed By God and the the little girl on the front is Winter Fairy by Sylvia Zet colored with Copics. I love challenges like this! Hugs, Fran
This stamp comes from the Occasions Mini set Hello Life. My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and the heart on the sentiment is filled with Dazzling Details. It sparkles! But then you open it up and….
It’s Karen Burniston’s new Pop It Ups Eiffel Tower die! This die has a “stand” that die cuts directly into the card. The doily is another new Pop It Ups – Paris Edges. Perfect!
I hope You have a happy day today! Hugs, Fran

Day 2 of the “Character Challenge!” Here is Poppy – a character die from Karen Burniston – playing with his photo props! He has a bowler hat, glasses, lips and mustache to hide his true identity. The background is stamped with Stampin Up’s Chevron and Dictionary background stamps with some Epic Day washi tape and Candy Dots to set it off. The “Guess Who” was stamped with the new SU Alphabet rotary stamp. And when Poppy’s mask comes off –
There he is – looking dapper. Each item from Karen’s Props 1 dies was attached to a strip of Crumb Cake card stock, stacked, and then attached to Poppy’s wing with a mini brad. And here’s one more Poppy idea for those prize winning papers your children are sure to be bringing home from school this year –
Poppy the scholar! I die cut 5 backgrounds to make him nice and strong and adhered this to a clothespin with a magnet on back. Now he’s ready to stick on the refrigerator to collect art work, homework, test – you name it! Make sure to check out Karen’s blog tomorrow or hop over now to her Facebook page to see all the challenge designs! Hugs, Fran
Here’s an idea for a birthday invitation using Karen Burniston’s Spiral Circle Pull Card and the cute Poppy die. The Pull Card is so neat because it has tabs to hold the front together. First I die cut the card and then I stamped the front with Hardwood (what a great stamp!) I added a gear to the front of the Clock and Gears die and put Poppy on the front holding some balloons. The sentiment was done in My Digital Studio and punched with the ticket punch.
Inside I printed the invite information, also done in MDS. The finished card size is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Hardwood
Card stock – Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Pool Party, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango
Ink – Crumb Cake
Etc – Spiral Circle Pull card die, Poppy die, Baker’s Twine, brad, ticket punch, MDS, Clock and Gears die.
All the dies are from Karen Burniston’s new Pop It Ups collection. Just turn the clock hands to the party time and celebrate! Hugs, Fran
The front of this 5 x 5 card features the new Back to Black Designer Series Paper and the set Something to Say. The inside has Mr and Mrs Chilly in their bridal splendor sitting on top of Karen Burniston’s new Lorna Label Pop it Ups die. If you look closely, you’ll see that she is sporting a bridal veil and he is wearing his glitter glasses! To get the different paper on the Lorna Label, I simply cut the DSP off of the label, flipped it over and used the reverse side! To make the writing surface for the inside, just die cut a large heart to carry out the theme.
Supplies
Stamp sets – Something to Say, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock – Basic Black, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Old Olive, Glimmer paper, Back to Black DSP
