Four SW Themed Pop Up Cards

I pulled out an older paper pad and decided to use two of the sheets to make four 5x7” Birthday Cards. Two use the Katherine Label Pop Up and the remaining two use the Twist Flower Pop Up - both die sets by Karen Burniston.

I love that the patterned paper has gold foiled bits! I wanted to keep the fronts nice and simple, so die cut ovals then stamped them before popping them up with thin foam tape.

Here is what the inside looks like using the Flower Twist Pop Up, and I chose one of these to go to a friend earlier in the month.

… and these two use the Katherine Label Pop Up. Both of these die sets are favourites, and looking at the labels on the right side of my blog you can see I have used the Katherine Label Pop Up NINETY times, and the Twist Flower Pop Up TWENTY THREE times. That makes me happy!

There was some leftover patterned paper, so I used those on A2 cards and will share those another day.

Patterned paper - Desert Dream, Recollections (old from my stash)

Birthday Balloons Pop-Up Card w/ July's Sheetload of Cards

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! I finished off another one of those July Sheetload cards** and made it a pop-up. Same balloons as on a previous card, but a simpler layout with more white space. White space is slowly becoming my friend - who knew THAT would ever happen! 

**I made all eight of the July Sheetload of cards, doing the fronts only. I wanted to take my time and finish off the insides for cards that I know I will need coming up, rather than finish all eight at the same time. These ones will be for my stash and not donated to the nursing home.

I used the Katherine Label Pop Up, again in a horizontal position. I covered the pop-up platform with a stitched circle before adhering the balloons. I love balloons, so of course I had to purchase the balloon washi tape (Pinkfresh Studios) when it came out. I applied the entire roll of washi to white card stock so I could fussy cut the images as I needed them. There are coordinating stamps and dies as well, but I only purchased the tape.

I love all the dimension you get with the Katherine Label Pop Up - but it's quick and easy to assemble. 😊

Sending Hugs Pop-Up Card w/ July's Sheetload of Cards

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog!  I finished off another one of my floral Sheetload cards, and made it a pop-up using Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up die set. This is my second play with the July Sheetload, and this time I made all eight cards but didn't finish off the insides. I wanted to take my time and make them into cards I will want/need in the coming months, and also make some of them into pop-up cards. You can see my original post HERE.   This is a fun Sheetload sketch, and I especially like that it's made for a 5x7" card size. I'll be using it again and again!

For today's card, I made it to send for Happy Mail. I did some hot foiling several months ago, putting the sentiments etc into a little plastic bin. So I rooted through the bin for the sentiments used on today's card.  (My Spellbinders Glimmer Foil machine is REALLY difficult to use - the platform that needs to be moved after heating up is extremely stiff so it isn't something I do very often.)

I've realized that I don't often use the Katherine Label Pop Up in the horizontal position, but it's something I'm going to do more. It's probably my most used die set - it's quick and easy to use and you get great dimension and lift to your pop-up.

The friend sentiment is also foiled in the same rainbow foil as the words on the front, and I stamped another sentiment on the signing block inside.

Pop Up Thank You Card

Today's card share is a Thank You card - I just love that little girl holding flowers image on the patterned paper. I am going to work on using up this paper package - and the chipboard elements since I've had them both for a couple of years. 

I stamped the sentiment (Stampin' Up) right on the scalloped panel, then added Pops of Color and stickles glitter glue for a little shine.

Here is the inside which features Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up, strips of patterned paper and some coordinating chipboard stickers. This card will be hand delivered, so I don't have to worry about bulk and extra postage.

I love all the lift you get with the Katherine Label Pop Up but it's quick and easy to assemble.

Winter Barn Pop Up Christmas Card

This was such a quick and easy card to put together, and it's perfect for our daughter and family who live on a farm. I loved this pad of patterned paper, which I purchased last year and had saved the barn prints to use one for their holiday card this Christmas. 

The panel was cut with a stitched rectangle and added to a 5 x 7" card base. Then I added a fussy cut owl and a stamped sentiment on foam tape. Inside, I used the Katherine Label Pop Up (by Karen Burniston) and another fussy cut image which was perfect for stamping a sentiment on.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

Set of Nine Dog Themed Cards!

I used some premade elements, patterned paper and coordinating washi tape to create nine dog themed cards for my stash. I didn't photograph them all together though, but in groups. Oh, and I made some bookmarks from the leftovers as well. 😊.  The card on the top right, with the doggie in the window, is actually a pop up card using Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up. You can see the inside with a pop up heart in the photo below.

I also have a walkthrough of my cards on YouTube:  

I really enjoyed creating these cards, just sitting down and playing with the journal cards and ephemera pieces. No pressures, deadlines, using whatever appealed to me at the moment - just the joy of creating.

I just loved this water coloured look WOOF cut-apart so actually made two cards using it, but added a different dog element to each one. 

Our eldest grandson (11 years) is going to come and stay here next week to help me out with some chores & dog walking. I have mobility issues because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis and there are some things that I find too difficult including getting down on my knees. Truthfully, that is too painful to even attempt! We plan on paying him for his efforts, but we aren't going to tell him beforehand. He is such a thoughtful kid, he is happy to come and help - and get a break from his little brother. We will put the $$ in one of these cards to give him, and I have already sent a couple off for Happy Mail with a note written inside.

St. Patrick's Day Slimline Card Duo

I am late posting these cards, as our internet has been on the blink. They were supposed to send someone to fix it this afternoon, so I was just going to wait and post after our internet was up and running again. Well nobody showed up and now they won't be here until Sunday. So I'm hot spotting with my iPhone and using data to get this done. AARRGGHH - so frustrating!

Both of these cards started with the St. Patricks Day Slimline paper pad, and I added ephemera elements from Doodlebug and lots of stickers from my stash.

The first card is a Pop Up using Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up and a stamp from Riley & Company. 

For the second card I trimmed down the Slimline panel and added it to an apple green folded card.

The shamrock dies on the inside of my cards are also from Riley & Company - their Cut Up lines.

Late last year I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. 

Card Tally for 2023

January - 53 cards

February so far - 49 Cards

Additional Supplies:

White cardstock

Corner Rounder - Creative Memories

Shamrock stickers - old, from my stash

Green card stock - Spring Green Soft Finish, Elizabeth Craft Designs (discontinued)

Dog Themed Humorous Holiday Cards

Hello my crafty friends. Today I'm sharing a pair of dog themed pop up holiday cards. The dog panels came from Hunkydory's 'Little Book Of Muddy Paws', and while they aren't actually Christmas themed I thought with the red background on these prints they would work.

This is the first card, and I added a red seam binding bow along with some bling. The funny sentiment is from Picketfence Studios, but may not be available any longer. I love it though!

Inside I used the Katherine Label Pop Up and the new Hexagons Crosshatch - both dies by Karen Burniston. Since there are three identical panels of each dog print in the pack, I was able to use two on each card and still have one of each left for other cards!

The second card got some gold gel pen detailing...

... and the inside was done the same. The inside sentiments are from the Perfect Sentiment Holidays stamp and die and they are linked below.

Dog panels - Little Book of Muddy Paws, Hunkydory

Mini Slimline Christmas Card Duo

Hello my crafty friends.  I had been working on a couple of Christmas cards with this patterned paper for a different card and really wanted to use one of the floral patterns that were included. There are also some cut aparts which are fairly small since this is a 6 x 6" paper pad. But they work great for a Mini Slimline card so that is what I decided to create.

I started with a Diagonal Stripe die from Taylored Expressions then I was off and running.

I used Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up die inside, along with a stamped sentiment from Pinkfresh Studios.

The second card was created the same, with a vellum panel and a cut apart. I love the edge on these Mini Slimline rope dies from Kat Scrappiness.

The Katherine Label Pop Up is probably my most used die set by Katherine Label Pop Up - it's quick and easy to put together and gives you lots of dimension!

Winter Penguins Slimline

Hello my crafty friends ... today I'm sharing a Pop Up Slimline card in a Winter theme. This will be the first of many using this paper package by Echo Park! I will be taking part in a Video Hop in early December, put on by Scrap 'n Stamp Canada. I chose to work with this collection, which is called The Magic Of Winter. You can make a LOT of cards with a 12 x 12" paper package, so I will be sharing them both before the Video Hop and after. 😊 

I also chose the coordinating ephemera package. These cute penguins are stickers (included in the paper package) and were attached to white card stock & fussy cut before perching them in the windows created with a Crafty Meraki Slimline die.Then I added a few smaller ephemra pieces.

Inside, I used the Katherine Label Pop Up by Karen Burniston to animate one of the ephemera pieces.

I did some stamping (snowflakes and the sentiments) and my card was done.

... one more look ...

Paper Pumpkin Alternates - Pop Up Thanksgiving Card

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. Today I'm sharing three more cards using an older Paper Pumpkin Kit. I decided to get everything out and finish off the kit, but there were SO many of these laser cut sprigs and feathers, I have a bunch left for more projects! Also, there were supposed to be four of these Kraft card bases, but I only had three. I doubt they were shorted by Stampin' Up, I must have used one when I first got the kit but didn't use the envelope for some reason. At any rate, I have three more cards done and these ones have a Pop Up surprise inside. I have all the details in my YouTube video:   

Since there were so many sprigs leftover (all orange) I flipped three of them over to the white side and stippled the Sangria ink on top with a blending brush. I also added a gold mirror cardstock circle behind everything for a little pop and some additional shine. I like that those labels match the envelopes so well!

Using Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up, I animated the Happy Fall (& shadow) and added a cardstock square for a dedicated place to write our personal message.

Each of the Happy Fall detail pieces were cut from a different patterned paper. I was able to use up some smaller leftover pieces for this!
