Designer Challenge - "Box or Blocks"

 Hello Friends,

I live in Arizona where it is hot, hot, hot so I can't think of anything more refreshing than going to the movies.  Air conditioning, entertainment and a big box of popcorn.  I had some fun making this card using Puff Paint on the popcorn to make it feel real.

I used lots of fun dies from Karen Burniston including the napkin from the Coffee Cup Pop-up, the Movie Charms and Popcorn Pop-up - they are linked below.

A Steampunk Birthday

Hello again friends,

Time for another birthday, this card is for a friend who celebrated recently.  It is always a challenge to make a masculine card, but I still love Steampunk so used some gears for this one.

The Photo Gallery Pop-up along with the "Love Is In The Air" charms from Karen Burniston made this one come together in a fun way.

Birthday Wishes

Hi Friends,

 I like to try different things I find on the internet.  This time I found a new to me "fun fold".  I saw it on Lisa Curcio's YouTube channel and had to give it a try.  This is for my grandson's birthday, so I had to include his cute little dog, Frank.  I used clipart to create Frank and then decorated with dies from Karen Burniston. 

I hope my card put a smile on your face -

Birthday Bouquet

Hello Friends,

I make more Birthday cards than anything else - so of course - I have to share them here with you.  I made this card for a friend who has a summer birthday.  To me these flowers have a summer vibe.

 I used the Flower Pivot Panel from Karen Burniston to create this card.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

June Designer Challenge - Flag Colors

 Hello everyone,

It's Designer Challenge time once again and this month Karen has challenged the team with the theme "Flag Colors".  These colors are definitely patriotic, but I decided to go in a different direction.  We have an anniversary coming up (#62) so I decided to use the good ole Red, White and Blue to make a card for my sweet hubby. 

I used the Heart Pivot Panel with lots of hearts from different Karen Burniston dies.  You can see all the dies and products I used linked below.

Party Hat

Hello Friends,

Recently a friend asked me if I had a die for a pop-up party hat.  I did not have one so decided to create one.  I created the shape using my Scan n Cut but you could easily create this using the old school style, pencil and paper.  It is simply a triangle with a rounded bottom.  Then decorated.

I made it pop up in the center using the tab die from the Christmas Tree Pop Stand from Karen Burniston.  I added a festive pom pom on top and a matching ruffle at the bottom.  I must say I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Black & White with Red

 Hello friends,

I like watching YouTube videos about crafty card ideas.  I found this card on "Stamp Your Card" and had to try it with my own version.  The card on the video has a large flower in the center but since I needed a birthday card I decided to see if the  "Balloon Collage Add On" from Karen Burniston would fit inside.  I was so happy to find out that it did - here is my card with my own touch.

I made this card for a friend who loves black & white with red.
