A little birdie told me

This is another Triple Arm Pop up card that I created earlier this year. Using Dies for the main focal images. 

 

Triple Arm Pop Up

I saw this tutorial some time ago, this is my first attempt. I had made it early this year and am just sharing it now, it was a lot of fun and easy to make.

I used designer paper as my main focus, but it would be easy to use stamped images.

It uses 3 arms of different lengths to create the pop ups, you can then anything to the arms to match your theme.

 

Wedding heart

I made this card for a beach themed wedding. I found this subtle seashell paper.I have used one of my favourite pop up die sets, along with the wedding charms set.

 

Cocktail night

 A cocktail themed party was held to celebrate a friend's birthday, so I made this card for her.

I sponged and stenciled the background and fussy cut out the images and added them to the card with foam tape. Inside the card I added the spinner square pop- up die panels, the sentiment pops out from the front panel as you open the card.

 Supplies Karen Burniston spinner square pop up die

stamps : Beccy's Place - Girls night

Birthday wishes

A fantasy themed card for a four-year-olds birthday.  I have used the princess themed stamps and the Lorna label pop up die set for the center of the card.

 

True loves kiss

I made this card for a Disney themed wedding. I used a page out of the DCWV designer paper pack, Once upon a time.

I wanted to highlight the words in the designer paper and used the arch pop-up die set from Karen Burniston to create a pop up arch of love hearts over the wedding couple.

On the front I added the die cut carriage, and on the back I added an envelope a place to give money.

Supplies : 

Karen Burniston: 1308 Arch pop-up, 1193 Heart Collage pop-up

Tonic studio die - horse and carriage 

Stamps- The rabbit hole designs

 

Tunnel Box card

 After watching a tutorial from Sam Calcott on Mixed up Craft.

I made this card for my Granddaughter's second birthday. The card is 4 layers deep and I have added either the Pony/Unicorn or the clouds on the layers. I coloured the images to match the card stock that I have used.

Half Hexagon pop up box card

This is my interpretation of the of the Half Hexagon pop up box card. There are many online tutorials for this design. I watched a few before making this in a 5 x7 portrait style. I have used the Gina K - Master Layout 4 for the heart element. The hearts are heavy, so I added a strip of acetate behind for extra support. On the back I created a panel where you can sign the card.

 Supplies

Gina K - master layout 4, you are enough stamp set

Karen Burniston - Charm heart

Love Hearts

 

I made this card for a love card challenge. It is a quick and fun interactive card using dies.

I made the base card using the Karen Burniston 1007 Charm Accordion die.

I then added the 1113 love Charms for the extra love elements.

Thanks for looking.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs

I made this card for a recent wedding, where the gifts were for a wishing well, so I made the card which was a bit dimensional for an envelope, so I made a gift box for it.

I made the front using die cuts and stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs that I had in my stash for several years.

On the inside I created a pop up wedding cake using Karen Burniston’s 1028 Cake Pop up. I added a golf ribbon bow to the top of the card and added gold die cut bows to the cake using the KB 1183 Little Labels pop - up bow.

I then added the die cut sentiment K B 1032 Happily Ever After inside so that you could see it when it was displayed when it is open.

I added a place to sign on the back of the card along with the sentiment and a envelope to hold the cash gift.

Thanks for looking.

 

Class Tutorial September 2024

For my card today I decided to follow along with Karen Burniston’s September Class Virtual Tutorial.

It was great to follow along with Karen and pause when I needed to. It is also great to learn other ways to use her creative dies.

I chose some scrap designer paper that I had in my stash for this first attempt of this card. I just put the surprise sentiment inside as I think this could be a fun birthday card adding it to my stash of cards.

Just a close up of the inside put out.

 

Thanks for looking.

A Sailing good time

This is the card I made for a friend for his 70th birthday. I chose the sailing theme as he is into outrigging and this is the closet I have to that theme. The sailboat is a clear stamp that was included in a magazine.

In the inside I have used Karen Burniston dies, 

1277 - boat pop up

1278 - sail boat add on

1279 - set sail boarder

A circle, oval and rectangle dies from my stash of dies from various companies. 

The designer paper is from a 6x6 Kaisercraft paper pack.

 

Filled to the brim

I made this for a challenge card themed Friendship. 

I chose the silhouette stamp for the theme, sharing a cup with a friend is great therapy. I added the die cut embellishment for a bit of interest.

On the inside I made the teacup pop up using dies, I added some vellum smoke and a gold spoon. I then added the sentiment and the teacup border.

 Supplies:

Karen Burniston dies - 1269 - Tea and Coffee pop-up, 1270 - Boarder tea and coffee

Welcome Baby

This is another baby card; this one is also gender-neutral, using the colours in the designer paper for the theme. The paper was so cute I wanted to show as much as I could.

Inside I made a pop - up card using dies. decorating with die baby elements.

 Thanks for looking.

Just a not to say

I couldn't wait to try the new release dies from Karen Burniston designs from the new release.

I loved the Lorna label when it was previously released, and these add ons are just fabulous.

The piano keys add such a fun element to any card. The used the colours from the designer paper for the theme, to keep the colour scheme I added pink keys instead of black.

 Supplies:

Karen Burniston dies:

1266 - Lorna Label pop-up

1276 - Happy Birthday add on

1275 - Just a note add on

1274 - Piano keys pop-up

Thanks for looking

Welcome Little One

I was asked if I had any baby cards, which of course I didn't have so I made a couple for my stash of cards. I made this one a gender-neutral card.  Using the colours of the designer paper for the palate. 

On the front I have used the stamp image and made the inside with pop up dies. 

 Thanks for looking.

Die cut flower cluster

I thought I would try a different layout for this card, it fits inside a business size envelope. Instead of having the classic fold in half I made the front only half the size of the back, so that you can see the happy birthday die cut while the card is closed. The Happy Birthday is cut 3 times and layered together for some dimension. 

Inside I have used the Flower Pivot Panels for a surprise element once you open the card.

On the front of the card I have used several die cut flowers

Supplies 

Karen Burniston dies 1160 Flower Pivot Panel

MFT fancy Flourish and flower dies.

 

Gift Pivot Panels

This is one of my favourite quick cards.

I have used the Gift Pivot Panels die from Karen Burniston Designs for the inside and the gift embellishments. I pulled out an older fish tail banner di for the front of the card.

Hope you are having a good day and thanks for looking.

 

Crabby Wishes

I made this card for my Granddaughter who has turned 2 this month. When she visited last time, we took her to an aquarium and she enjoyed the SeaLife, especially feeding the turtles.

I created an under the sea theme for the inside of the card. Using the mini pops pop-up die to make the pop-up part of the card I then die cut the wavy edges to look like water and added the sea life.

 Supplies

Sentiment Stampendous

Karen Burniston 1068 Ocean Animals, 1037 Sea Animals, 1036 Princess and Mermaid, 985 Rocky the Crab, 1180 Big Birthday Charms, 1146 mini Pops pop-up

Clink Clink

I had so much fun creating this style of card last year, that I have made another for a card class that I have taught.

Teaching some people new to card making with a little bit of stamping, die cutting and folding to make a fun pop-up card.

The card can be made any size to fit in an envelope. Fold your card stock in half and attach some designer paper on the front, then die cut a circle. Using another piece of card (for this card I am just calling the white card, but of course you can make it any colour) cut to fit inside the card base, leaving a small border around the edges. Using this white piece of card fold it in half and then score on half in half again. Attach it inside the base card glue it by the large panel on the bottom and then the top piece to the top of the card so that it looks like a z, leaving the middle panel unglued. 

 Put it aside to work on the next step. Die cut a piece of base colour card with the same die that you cut the original circle, then decorate it. While the card is in the closed position attach the circle through the hole and just add glue to the middle panel that shows through the hole.

As you open and close the card the attached circle with move through the hole. I then just decorated the bottom of the card to match the circle.

I have used the Karen Burniston charm die and the MFT A toast to you, sentiment stamp set.
