"Double" That's The Challenge

Hello friends and welcome back,

 It's the first Tuesday of the month and, of course, that means Designer Challenge Day! YAY!

Here is Karen's Challenge to the team - Theme: "DOUBLE" - make a card of any theme using a doubling technique. 

I decided to take it one step further and do a "DOUBLE", "DOUBLE".  I used two different pop-up dies with a, you guessed it, double Pivot Panel.   For my card, I combined the Fancy Label Accordion with the Heart Pivot Panel.

I have made a full instructional video for you.  It's not as hard as it may look. Please take a look, I try to keep my videos as short as possible so you can learn all about it and rewind as much as needed.

Be sure to stop by and join the fun on the Facebook page - Karen Burniston's Pop Up Peeps.
Tune in tomorrow to see Karen's new technique.  I will have a link for you here.

Stay Crafty, see you soon,

Hearts

Hello friends and welcome back,

Today is the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge and this time our theme is "Hearts".  I think Valentines are one of my favorite makes, just something about it makes me swoon every time.

For my card I have combined the Tag Book Pop Up with the Heart Pivot Panel for a fun and different

look.  I also have some cute charms from the Love Charms set dangling on each end of the card.

Here is a complete step by step video on how I did it.  I hope you will give my video a like on YouTube and also subscribe to my channel. 

This card was lots of fun to make and it turned out just the way I wanted.

All the products I used are linked below, just click for more information.

Happy Heart Day,

Won't you be my ValenTime?

Hi All,

I'm here today to share a card I made for the Karen Burniston monthly challenge.  This month she challenged us to make either an Artsy Card or a Cutesy Card.  I, no surprise, decided to go with Artsy.  I'm planning a Cutesy one as well but that will be in the next post so stop by tomorrow to see what I did about Cutesy. 

Did you ever have one of those projects that just had a mind of it's own?  Well, this card was that project for me.  It seemed that every piece I cut, glued or folded was wrong somehow.  After much trail to my patience, and I don't have much, I finished it!!  It wasn't at all the card I had in mind when I started but I'm very happy with the end result.

I used the Rectangle Pull Card Die and extended the flap and used the Agatha Edge.  You will see in the next photo that you need to decorate the inside of the flap to cover the extension, again using the Agatha Edge.  I did all the stamping with the alpha set from Tim Holtz.

I love the way Karen has designed her dies in the Pop it Ups line to work so well together.  I used parts and pieces from lots of different die sets for decorating this card.  The wings on the gear and clock are from the Butterfly Pivot Card and I used hearts from the Heart Pivot Card along with the Agatha Edge Die, Rectangle Pull Card and Clock & Gears Die. 
Thanks Karen.

Have a fabulous and crafty week,
