Another Pop Up Card

Yesterday I used the House and Fence Pop Up die for the Fall Pumpkin card.  Well today I am using another new die from Karen Burniston.  This is the new Sleigh Pop Up die. This works great with some of the new images from Riley and Company too!

I used the Riley the Grinch with this Christmas sleigh. Then I used the nesting pierced circle die and cut it part way out of brown paper.  The I free-hand cut the bag and continued to pierce around the bag to match the die.  Then I used some jute to tie the bag and glued it into the sleigh.  I used Tucker with the new Tucker die and accessorized him with the deer antlers and jingle bell collar from the Riley Christmas Outfits stamp set and matching dies. The Hi. It's Me. Sentiment is also new.  Check out more of the great new images released this week! Then see the Riley blog for new ideas twice a day!

 I used the Fall Dress Ups for this Pop Up card.  The card was a so easy to create with the new Karen Buriston House and Fence Pop Up die. Then I stamped some of the fall accents, colored them with Copic Markers and then cut them out with the matching die.  Finally, I adhered them to the pop up pieces and...it was done!  I just added the Happy Pumpkin Spice Sentiment for the final step.

For this second card, I used some of the same accessories from the Fall Dress Up Set with the same sentiment, but with Cocoa Riley. Riley is always fun to dress up with these cute Dress Up sets, but they are also fun to use for accents to any card.  Be sure to take advantage of the Special this week!  Stop by the Riley Blog and see other fun samples that the Design has made this week.

Pop Out Cards

I'm having so much fun with these Karen Burniston dies.  I will be having a class tomorrow at The Stamp Shoppe using the Twist Panel Pop Up Die and the Twist Snowman Circle Die Set.

This first card uses the Prickley Pear Build a Cupcake stamp set with matching die colored with Copic markers. 

Frames and Rounded panel are also included in the die set.

The second card front uses the Prickley Pear Christmas Banner stamp set and matching die. Keeping the front simple because most of the work is found on the inside. 

Watch the little Penguin twist and pop up as you open the card.  The Roly Poly Penguin is from Taylored Expressions.  This cutie fits perfectly with the circle die included in the stamp set.  The frame is from the KB Riley Katherine Label Pop Up die. The sentiment is also from Prickley Pear. The snowy border is from Karen Burniston's Nature Edges Die Set.  If you are interested in taking a class, call us at 715-355-6735. If you just want to make some of these cards, you can find them all at The Stamp Shoppe!

Celebrations!

Today I am doing a different take on Stars and Stripes.  I am using the Build a Cupcake clear stamp set and matching die as my focus on the card. 

Then I used the Spellbinders Nested Stars to cut small and medium size stars of color that match the decorator paper.  The paper is striped and then I cut them into strips to make the background.  The sentiment comes in the stamp set.  Add a little stardust glitter to the frosting to add to the festivities!  Check out the PPRS blog today for more new creations.

Memory Box Class

We are having a Memory Box class in our store on July 20th and we want to show you what we are making! We are mixing Poppy Stamps Dies and Memory Box Dies in the cards that we are creating.  Here are two of the cards...

 This first card uses the Poppy Stamps Stick frame and the corner Thanks together with the Tender Tulip die.

Using the Floral Dotted Border from Poppy Stamps to create a decorative border, then cutting off some of the flowers for additional accents on the card.  I added a pop of color with the Memory Box Isabella and Pippi Butterfly dies and  Leafy Branches.  Plus we will be making a christmas card as well!

 Look for new Holiday Memory Box and Poppy Stamps coming the first of July!  

CardMakers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining us today for the CardMaker Blog Hop.  If you have been following the hop, you should have come from Rebecca's blog.  We are continuing to showcase some of the new images from Prickley Pear, so we hope you enjoy being inspired!!

One of my favorite new image are these Bold Daisies. I had some small ladybugs that I stamped and die cut using the Dainty Dragonflies and matching die sets.  They added a touch of whimsy to these adorable flowers.  Then I used the saying from and older Butterflies clear stamp set.

Summer is in full bloom with this Large Birdhouse.  I cut off the small post and fussy cut around the bird, to have the bird perched on a hanging birdhouse! I used a Taylored Expressions branch embossing folder and colored the embossed image with Copic Markers.  Then I stamped the small flowers from the Flowers 2 Clear Set and cut them out with the matching die.   I love these small flowers because they add so much to a card.

Here I add more of the flowers to this cute Kitty card.  This little kitten is so adorable!  It will brighten anyone's day!  Then I added the sentiment from the Dragonflies 2 Clear Set.  I hope you are enjoying all the great new images from Prickley Pear and all the beautiful creations.  Your next stop on your hop is Irit's blog.

Introducing Karen Burniston Dies!

I can't wait to share with you these dies from Karen Burniston.  Karen Burniston and Riley & Company are together to bring you fun and innovative dies!  Here is the Flower Pot Pop Up die...

I love the way the flowers burst out of the card when you open it!  It is a fun surprise for the receiver.  These flowers, leaves and bee all come as part of this set, so...use them in the pot, or use them for other neat accents on another card!  I am also am using the Word Set 2: Birthday die set for my sentiments on both cards.

Don't want to make a pop up card?  Use the die cut the pot, fold it and glue the flap to the front of the pot to create a pocket.  Use the pot accent die to make a sentiment tag.  Decorate the top of the tag and slide it into the pot.  I used some mounting tape on the inside of the pot and on the tag to create a stopper.  This way the tag can't be pulled all the way out of the pot. The oval frame was made with the Nesting Ovals with Pierced Dot die set from Riley and Company.

I then wrote PULL on the tag so the receiver knows what to do!  Put out the "dirt" and see the hidden message.  This is a great die set to have.  It's fun to make interactive cards and also use the element dies to enhance any card.  These are available to pre-order now, so check out their store now today!
