Garden Themed Slimline Waterfall Card

Hello crafty friends ...

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and I'm sharing a garden themed Waterfall Card with both old and new products from Karen Burniston. I talk about the details in my YouTube video!

Since I am enjoying the Slimline card format but still like to make interactive cards I'm going through my dies finding out which ones work for a Slimline and which ones work but need to be adapted. This card uses Karen Burniston's Frame Pull Pop Up die adapted to be a Waterfall Card! This was a technique Karen Burniston came up with and you can see the videos for the Flip Frame Pop Up assembly AND the Waterfall version HERE. 

After making a couple of them, I started making a wider pull arm - so this one uses that technique. My arm is almost 2.5" wide and gives you lots more room for a sentiment that is revealed as the tab is pulled.

I did a photo collage showing each of the four decorated panels. As you pull the tab to the right each panel flips over to reveal the one below it. I used the new Backyard Charms along with the older Garden Charms to decorate the panels. I adore the fairy that is in the Backyard Charms ... so added her in a different colour to the back side of each of the panels.

The final photo shows the stamped sentiment that is finally revealed when all the panels are flipped over from pulling the pull tab.

Inside I added some strips of the pretty sparkly paper, and a circle with sponged clouds and one more sweet fairy. Then I combined the Happy & Day from the new Word Set 12 Anniversary, with the My Friend from Word Set 1 Greetings.

Sparkling Vintage Truck Waterfall Card

Hello my crafty friends

Happy December First! This is always the start of Christmas for our family - and I'm sure missing my Mom today. She was such a big part of our family, and started many of our family traditions.

Today I wanted to share a Christmas card to celebrate December 1st. I actually made it in October, when I decided to try a wider arm on Karen Burniston's adaptation of the Frame Pull Pop Up to create a Waterfall Card. I made a simple Halloween card with stickers (which you can see HERE), and when it worked so well I made an additional two cards that week. A Thanksgiving one (which you can see HERE) and this one for the holidays. I saved this one to post until today though.

Once again I used one of the three paper packages I pulled out for our holiday cards this year, using up some of the stickers and printed elements as well. When you pull the tab, the panels flip up revealing something different on each one. The paper and elements have lots of sparkle on them which I always love for a Christmas card. 

Note, the wider arm is 2-1/4" wide with the Frame Pull arm sandwiched in between two of them. I make it longer than it needs to be then trim it where I want the end to fall after I'm done decorating.

Here is a peek at the inside, using one of the printed elements with some die cut layers.

Supplies:

Black, red and white card stocks

Stitched Scalloped rectangle dies - Your Next Stamp

Patterned paper, stickers and elements - Comfort & Joy, My Minds Eye

Tiny Attacher - Tim Holtz

1056 Squares Crosshatch - Karen Burniston

1070 Frame Pull Pop Up - Karen Burniston

Push Here stamp set - Lawn Fawn

Sakura gold gel pen

Stitched rectangle dies - Your Next Stamp

Card size - standard A2 (4.25 x 5.5")

Thanksgiving Waterfall Card

Hello my crafty friends

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and I'm sharing another Waterfall card created with Karen Burniston's adaptation of her Frame Pull Pop Up.

I used some older patterned papers from my stash, and lovely gold foil stickers to decorate. The stickers had lots of transparent areas, so I adhered them to cream card stock and fussy cut them out.

I have a short YouTube video so you can see the card in action, with more photos and a supply list below that.

For those of you who like to pin all the different flaps to their Pinterest boards ... here you go!

I would have liked to ink the edges of the pieces for this card, but the card stock has almost a glossy finish and it wouldn't take the ink!

I added a wider arm to the Frame Pull and I'm really liking this idea. I did it first with a Halloween Waterfall card that posted last week. This wider arm would even hold a gift card! Something else on my list to try. Note - the left edge of the gift card has to tuck under the right edge of the waterfall base in order to prevent catch points.

For this card I adhered another pretty sticker from the package and I like that it is fully revealed once the arm is extended all the way to the right.

Here is a peek at the inside;

This one is actually quite a heavy card because of all of the layers since the patterned paper is also heavyweight, but can be mailed with an extra stamp or hand delivered.

Supplies:

Kraft, brown, cream and rust card stocks

Patterned paper - Spiced Cider stack, DCWV

Tiny Attacher - Tim Holtz

1070 Frame Pull Pop Up - Karen Burniston

Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies - Your Next Stamp

Stitched Rectangle dies - Your next stamp

Inside stamp - Thanksgiving Blessings, Taylored Expressions

Circle die - Hero Arts

Corner Rounder - We R Memory Keepers

Bling It On Sparkly Gumdrops - Your Next Stamp

Card size - standard A2 (5.5 x 4.25")

Ghosty Greetings Waterfall Card

Hello my crafty friends

I have a Halloween themed Waterfall card to share today, using the adaptation Karen Burniston came up with for her Frame Pull Pop Up and older paper & stickers from my stash.

A different company recently came out with a waterfall die set, where the pull arm is wider than the one that comes with the Frame Pull Pop Up. Hmmmm ... So I added a 2.25" wide strip of black card stock to the pull arm and it worked like a charm. I made it extra long, and just trimmed it to the length I wanted after I was done decorating the card. There was room for a rectangle of the super sparkly patterned paper on the end and I added an arrow for the recipient so they know what to do when they open the envelope.

I found a sheet of these fun foil stickers in my stash, so used them for this card and managed to use up the whole sheet! I've had them for YEARS, so I was happy to finally use them. I outlined each of the orange patterned paper squares with a sparkle pen for additional sparkle. Between the sparkly embossed patterned paper, the foil stickers and the sparkle pen - this is one shiny card!

When you pull the arm to the right, each of the panels flip to reveal another panel and I will write our message on the black card stock arm with a white gel pen. The message will be revealed as you pull the arm!

As usual, I made this Waterfall Card in a post-card (flat) style, but if I want room to write more I can do that on the back where I added another panel of patterned paper from the pack.

I liked the idea of a wider arm so much, I immediately made a Thanksgiving and a Christmas Waterfall card and will share those in the coming weeks. You can even add a gift card to the arm, as long as the inside edge tucks under the mechanism. Fun!

Supplies:
Black card stock
1070 Frame Pull Pop Up - Karen Burniston
Patterned paper - Midnight Magic, Recollections (old)
Tiny Attacher - Tim Holtz
Foil ghost stickers - Amscan (old, from my stash)

Succulent Waterfall Card

Hello my crafty friends

It's Fun-Fold Friday here on my blog and I have a Succulent Waterfall Card to share today.
While I have shared other Waterfall cards made with the Frame Pull Pop-Up, this is actually the first one I made. Ha, I rarely post in the same order I create my projects. As soon as I saw Karen Burniston's brilliant adaptation for the Frame Pull Pop-Up I headed right into my craft room to make one for a friend.

I pulled out these pretty gold rimmed succulent stickers for embellishing and I like how they catch the light when the card is moved.

When you slide the arrow to the left, the top panel flips up to reveal another panel underneath...

... and another one after that.

The last panel combines two of the Word Set dies for the greeting.

I like to make these Post Card style, so this is the back. Keeping everything nice and flat at the back ensures the card lays nice and flat.

The Border Blends make such quick and easy borders - I used this one from the Argyle set to add a little colour to the top of the white panel where I wrote a note to my friend.

I stamped a coordinating envelope as well!

Supplies:
Turquoise card stock, white, green
Patterned paper - K & Company
1054 Rectangles Crosshatch - Karen Burniston

Designer Challenge Waterfall Anniversary Card

Hello my crafty friends

Welcome to Karen Burniston's March 2019 Designer Challenge! The theme is:  "TINY ACCESSORIES" - take your cue from any of the outfits included in Tiny Accessories 1 or Tiny Accessories 2 for a card of any theme. Incorporate an animal or get creative with using the accessories on other items, like eggs, trees, flowers. Accessorize!"

I chose to make another Waterfall Card, using Karen Burniston's adaptation of the Frame Pull Pop-Up die set. I will link her assembly video at the end of my post.

The first panel has a bow tie and necklace, and starts with the words 'Side by Side'. When you pull the tab downwards, this panel flips up to reveal the second sentiment.

This one says 'Love isn't in the falling...'. In addition to the bow tie and necklace, now there is also both a top hat and pillbox hat. Pull the tab downwards once more and this panel flips up to reveal a third panel.

This third panel completes the saying on the previous one with '...it's in the staying there'. I also added a few more accessories! The dashing cape, a pair of glasses and a handbag. Pull the tab downwards and that panel flips up to reveal the final panel.

This one shows a pair of owls wearing all the accessories from the previous panels! I also added a banner that says 'Happy Anniversary'.

For the masculine owl, I chose to use the beak and feet from the Chick in the Spring Animals so he looks different from the lady owl.

Here is a side view so you can see the waterfall effect. I love Karen Burniston's adaptation of the Frame Pull Pop-Up!

I like to make my Waterfall Cards flat, post-card style. While I decorate the back I keep everything nice and flat so the card will display nicely. We can write our note and sign on names on the white area.

I combined Crosshatch Rectangles, Border Blends Party, and a stamped fish tail banner on the back of this card. This is an anniversary card for our eldest daughter & hubby, and we will be hand delivering it. I think I will add it into a clear cello envelope!

Welcome Ringo Pop-Up Card

Hello my crafty friends

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. Today I made a card for our daughter's family who welcomed a new pet into their home... Ringo the bunny. I used Karen Burniston's Frame Pull Pop-Up and I think the grand kids will have fun pulling the tab and watching the panel flip up.

I used the Alphabet dies to cut 'yay', and added 'congrats' at the bottom.

When you pull on the tab, the 'yay' panel flips up to reveal the bunny and the words 'welcome Ringo'. So fun!

The bunny die is from the new Spring Animals and I coloured him up to look like the new bunny, with the patches over his eyes etc. I also like how the Alphabet allows you to personalize a card.

I know that the 'o' sticks out of the side a little, but I was OK with that. It gives a little tease as to what is inside. Had I not been finishing this card when I was tired, I would have arranged all the letters before adhering them down. As I said, I'm ok with the little peek when the card is closed ... no mistakes in papercrafting, right? Speaking of things sticking out beyond the flap - I did trim the bunny's ear slightly so IT wouldn't stick out and interfere with the tab pull.

I like to make this type of card flat, post-card style but of course I also like to dress up the back a little. I just make sure to keep everything adhered flat with no foam tape so it lays flat nicely for display. I used a piece from one of the Border Blends Argyle to decorate the white rectangle, which is where I wrote my note.

This really was a sweet and simple card - not every pop-up card needs to take hours to complete. I'm adding another view so you can see the dimension you get with the Frame Pull Pop-Up. Such a fun die set!

Valentine's Waterfall Card

Hello my crafty friends

I absolutely love Karen Burniston's adaptation of her Frame Pull Pop-Up die set to create a Waterfall card and I made another one to share today. This one is in a Valentine's theme and a vertical orientation.

I have had these stickers and embellishments in my stash for several years, so I enjoyed actually USING them! You will notice that I also added hearts instead of squares to the pull strip. Just another variation that shows how versatile the Frame Pull Pop-Up can be! The laser cut patterned paper is also from my stash.

When you pull the tab at the bottom, the hearts each flip up one by one to reveal another sticker.

The final heart is larger, and has a cute printed acetate embellishment in the centre.

Here is a side view ...

I like to make this type of card 'Post Card style' and keep the back embellishments nice and flat. But I also like to decorate the back a little, so here I used  some more of the laser cut patterned paper, the Border Blends Argyle, the Crosshatch Rectangles and the XOXO which is from the new Word Set 9 Love.

Supplies:

Laser cut patterned paper - Recollections

Red and white card stocks

Red glitter card stocks

Easter Waterfall Card ... and a Sneak Peek of Karen Burniston's January 2019 Release

Hello my crafty friends

Today is the first day the Design Team can share sneak peeks of Karen Burniston's new release!! Unfortunately I had to wait over two weeks for my dies to arrive via regular post since the US Couriers want to charge an arm and a leg to send to me where we live in Canada. The rest of the Design Team had their new release dies within days of shipping and let me tell you, it was very hard to wait for mine to come. Considering it takes 26 hours of driving for us to get home from Arizona, I have no idea how it can take the postal service 17 DAYS to get an envelope to me from Texas, even with the holidays in there.

While I waited, I decided to make another Waterfall card using Karen Burniston's adaptation of her Frame Pull Pop-Up and some pretty Easter Stickers. When my package finally arrived, I used some of the new word sets to finish off my card. I am really going to enjoy all the new Word dies, which is what I'm sharing today as our first Sneak Peek. I also made use of the sweet Easter Charm Dies. I've added a photo of the entire release at the end of my post so you can see all the goodies that will be available for pre-order on January 21st 2019.

This is not the first Waterfall card I've made. In fact, the minute I saw Karen Burniston's how-to video for our January Designer Challenge I headed right into my craft room to try it out. That one will be posted in a few weeks. I love getting more mileage out of my dies and this is such a cool trick to use the Frame Pull Pop-Up. I've been hoping for a Waterfall Die set so I am tickled at how clever and creative (and easy!) it is to make one of these now.

There is a tiny bow die in the new Easter Charms, which I added to the sticker bow on the front panel.

The second and third panels also have a die cut bow from the new Easter Charms added to the sticker bunnies. 

The stickers have lots of sparkle to them and the green grass layer was cut using a die from the Tropical Scene set.

I love that Karen Burniston adds words to some of the charm sets - and this Happy Easter one is going to get a lot of use on my Easter projects. It cuts as a single piece which makes it easy peasy to adhere.

I water coloured this one with Distress Oxide inks.

As usual, I made my Waterfall card post card style. This is the back, with the new 'happy Spring' and a bunny and the bow from the Easter Charms.

As mentioned above, here is a photo showing the entire new release. Wow, right? Note, you can click on the photo to make it larger.

I will have a couple more Sneak Peaks for you this week so be sure to stop back to see.
