Try It Tuesday~Pop Up dies are the bomb!!!!

Hi guys!!

A while back Karen Burniston had a design team call for 2019.  I decided

 to submit my creations using her awesome Pop-up dies.  The reason I love

 them is you can create really fun interactive cards using her dies with stamps, die cuts 

or other paper craft products.  I didn't make the team but had a fun time creating
these cards!

This card is using #1015 House & Fence Pop-up die with Carved leaves Vol.1 by Darkroom Door.
See what I mean, stamps work so well with these Pop- up dies!!

I loved the platform on this card and that is the reason I bought this die. So many
ways to create with it. The cupcake can be cut down and an image can replace the
cupcake.   #1008 Cupcake Pop-up die with Stars , Happy Birthday,
 Brushed Sentiments  by Darkroom Door and pattern paper.

This one was my favorite. I love the tent design. I think it is so clever and darling.
#1048 Tent Pop-up and #1049 Camping Charms.

I will be posting a short video of each card opening on Instagram 

(so If you are interested follow me)

Thanks for stopping by for 

and sorry I'm running late again.

Try It Tuesday~Guadalupe County Fair 2018

Hi guys!!

I have the results of the Guadalupe County Fair to share with you.

I love entering the projects, I have created, for the company's that I work for.  It can

turn out good or bad :) Sometimes I agree with the judges and

 sometimes I don't but it is still loads of fun. The Fair is struggling to find it's place 

in 2018.  I love supporting this type of wholesome, family friendly activity.

I urge you all to participate in your local and or county fair. 

Remember the Pumpkins with DecoArt ~

paint pouring, such a cool way to add color to pumpkins. Kinda of messy

 but I love the results!!

The top three photos are some vintage items that did very well this year!!!

Some of my favorite pieces .

The pop-up tent card / Karen Burniston pop-up dies and most of the projects

 left are using Clear Scraps products and Darkroom Door (printer's tray used stamps as

embellishments).  I entered my hand carved stamps also.

Try It Tuesday~ different ways to use those handmade cards!

Hi guys!

Thanks for stopping by for Try It Tuesday!

I create lots of cards and started to think of a couple of 

different ways to use them.  I know sending them in the mail is a great way, 

but what if you have that very special one you would like to keep~

Here's a couple of ideas~

Remember this pop-up card, from the Darkroom Door and Karen Burniston Blog Hop

a few weeks ago, it makes a great embellishment for this scrapbook page.

Instead of the sentiment and signature space I used that space for the journal space.

The perfect place to tell the story of that day. 

***************

Here is another idea, remember these cards from the

 Darkroom Door Monthly Facebook challenges~

I really loved them and thought they would look great as a cover for a note pad.

So I stuck a note pad inside the card.  I did score another 1/4" line below the fold line.

By adding a score line, the cover will lay flat. The back will be shorter

but with the note pad on it doesn't look short.

Hope you will give these ideas a try!!!

One More Pop up ~ the tent with stamps!

Hi guys!

I have one more Pop up card created and embellished with stamps.

My inspiration was to create a card to persuade a person to

 go camping.  To make the card inviting with fall leaves, a big pile of them, so

 they can be jumped in.

This is the front of the card~simple, no big deal.

The inside ~

The tent is placed in a bed of leaves.  Extra leaves have fallen on the tent and ground.

The quote is explaining "say yes (to camping).

The tent looks hard to construct but it isn't at all.

The Tent Pop up die is by Karen Burniston and she has a video on how

 to put the tent together.  

Product used:

Darkroom Door : Fallen Leaves/BG, Say Yes/Quote stamp, Carved Leaves and

 Whimsical Words.

Karen Burniston: Tent Pop up die

Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle

Ink: Ranger

Buttons Galore & More

stickers

X-Press It tape

Darkroom Door / Karen Burniston Blog Hop ~

Hi guys!!

I'm super excited to be hopping with Darkroom Door and Karen Burniston.

 Showing you how these beautiful Pop~up dies work so well with the gorgeous red rubber stamps by Darkroom Door will be a blast!!!

I have created three card examples using these fun products together.

  The possibilities are endless and so fun!!

Here is the front of card#1.  But everyone knows with a Pop-up card

 it is all about what is on the inside~

Karen Burniston: 1015~House & Fence Pop-up

Karen Burniston: 1056~ Squares-Crosshatch

Darkroom Door: Tropical Birds, Carved Leaves Vol. 1

 Garden Birds, New York Vol.1, Love Birds and Stitched Borders. 

Peeled Paint/BG

Other: Ranger:Archival Ink

Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks (shading)

Paper: Authentique

Scrapbook Adhesives ( foam squares)

X-Press It (high tack double sided tape) ~ a must!

wet glue

Card#2~

The front cover on this one, just kept it real simple (I love simple)~

I love shells, love the beach so I had to create a Summer beach card using the

 House & Fence Pop-up die and Darkroom Door's Seashell stamps (my favorite).

Products used:

Karen Burniston: 1015~ House & Fence Pop-up

Karen Burniston: 1056~ Squares - Crosshatch

Card#3

I did one last card to show how valuable the floating floor is, that comes with the
 House & Fence Pop-up die.  If you have the floating floor the sky is the limit.  You can use stamps, die cuts and ephemera to create the focal for the card.

I got lots of crafting done and it felt right:):)

I did a class with Karen Burniston ( I might add, she is a GREAT teacher) at Craft Crossing awhile back and we did these Pop It Ups cards.

Garden Bench

Katie Label Pivot card  and the Butterfly

Accordion Oval card 

House Pivot card

I love making these cards.  I'm working on my collection:):)

You can see all of Karen's Designs at Elizabeth Craft's web page  and Craft Crossing has an awesome selection also.  Watch out, you will get hooked:):):)

Try It Tuesday~Pop 'n Cut cards, so fun!!!!!

Remember the class I took at Craft Crossing with Karen Burniston~these are the cards we made.  I'm going to show you four today and four next week~so let's get going for:

 

I don't know the names of the paper's we used, I'm going to be lucky to explain the Sizzix dies that were used, so hang in there with me.  This much I do know~these are addicting to make:):)

 no.#1

no.#2

no.#3

no.#4

I love how it all works together~what I mean by that is,  the older Sizzix die's can be used as the pop out or pop up part.  The embossing folders can be used to add texture to the fronts of the cards and the Sizzix Decorative strip's come in very handy when you want to add a dangling piece.

********************************

If you can think it up~you can make it work!!!

Have fun with these!!!!

See ya soon~
