Pop Up Card

Hi Everyone,

I’m back with two great Pop Up cards that are perfect for an adult male – which is just as well, because we have 5 birthdays for boys coming up in the ensuing weeks! I kept the front of both cards the same and pretty CAS too. A few score lines and an embossed frame with sentiment inside and voila! Two cards for Men.

I love the final result here on the inside. Once again the ribbon border punch was used on one and the lattice embossing folder was used on the other to create some fake ribbon wrapping around each box. The little bits sticking up are supposed to represent the ribbon on top. The background was stamped with an old Linen Background stamp and Crumb Cake ink to match the base.

          

The papers are from the Stampin’ Up Well Worn pack. I went crazy buying paper this month because of the Stampin’ Up Paper Party promotion. What value One option is to Buy 3 packs and get the 4th one FREE! I couldn’t resist – if you want to take advantage of this promo yourself, check out my Stampin’ Up Website and click on the Promotions. It ends 30th May so get in quick!

This is what the folds look like from above…

The insert is cut and scored to pop up each present so it looks like they are sitting one atop the other. It was cased from someone else of course, no way I would think of something this simple, yet clever! Hope you like it

Enjoy to share this with…

Celebration Pinwheel

Hi Everyone,

My Niece has a 19th birthday coming up next month and I really wanted to use this Kaiser paper that I’ve had floating around in bits and pieces (since using it on Kristy’s birthday card a few months back). 

The paper is called Skull Girl.

I combined it with an Anitas card blank of a special kind….read on to see

Here is my card…       

I made a Pinwheel out of the different patterns on the paper and used a big Kaiser Brad in the middle that co-ordinates with the paper.

I stamped Celebrate (another iCling stamp) with it’s matching frame and then die cut it with my new Nellies Multiframe die (#MFD009) which I picked up at the Brisbane Papercraft Fair for a whole $16.95!! What a bargain and it’s gorgeous!

There’s also some liquid pearls on there too – another new to me thing! Much easier than those rotten little stick down pearls. I’ve embossed the white background with a Couture Creations folder called Diamond Trellis and inked all the edges I could find with “Rich Razzleberry” Stampin Up ink.

I mentioned that my card blank was rather special, and this is why….

 

It has the most adorable heart cut out popping up from the centre. I love it! The card blank comes in two separate parts so you can put some matching DP underneath the heart as a feature…..

  See!

Miss Emilly is sure to like this one, especially when she finds some money hidden inside! Bribery works every time for a big hug

I’m going to enter this card into the following challenges, just because I can –
