Crazy 4 Challenges - Train Day

The theme for this weeks' Crazy 4 Challenges challenge is to add a train to our cards to celebrate Train Day.  I couldn't find any trains in my stash so I thought I'd use the mode of transportation that I did have.  Zoom Zoom!  

I think the juvenile paper and stickers work perfectly with the punny stamped sentiment.  My son has outgrown these and I am glad that I found another use for them.

I used Karen Burniston's House and Fence Pop Up to make the floating floor.  The banners and rectangle signature area are from Karen's die called Twist Panel.

Happy Stampin',

Crazy 4 Challenges - Interactive Card

The Crazy 4 Challenges designer challenge of interactive card is right up my alley!  I stamped this sentiment using Stampin' Up!'s Delightful Dozen stamp set onto a Katherine Label from Karen Burniston.

And lucky for me that this is an interactive challenge because I wanted to try making a double floating floor with Karen Burniston's new House & Fence Pop Up.  I used quite a few of her new stamp sets on this card and it is a bit bulky - but so cute!  To make the double floating floor, I die cut 2 of the floating floors, added another score line on the side that only had one and cut off the center bump.  I adhered the floors up to the score line one side at a time, then adhered the other end.  I also adhered the center portion of the floating floor together.  Because I had cut out the center bump, there was an area large enough to use the sleigh pop up mechanism.....and that's how the sleigh is adhered to the card.

Look at this cuteness overload!  I am loving the new Winter Animals and that gingerbread man from Winter Charms is just so cute.

The new Winter Animals have a bear, hedgehog and a penguin.   The Winter Charms has 2 different sizes of the following: snowflake, tree and gingerbread.

Here's a side view where you can see the little center area that the sleigh is attached to.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Paper Pros Challenge - Halloween

I am playing along with Karen Burniston's Paper Pros Halloween challenge.  I used the new Gift Card Label to stamp a sentiment from Suite Seasons stamp set.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on these spooky hands from the new Halloween Elements set.  I stamped the sentiment using Stampin' Up!'s Suite Seasons stamp set onto a Gift Card Label.  I was pleased that the new Gift Card Label coordinates with Katherine Label Pop Up.

I used Karen's new House & Fence Pop Up to create this Halloween scene using some more of her new dies.  For the house, I sponged Whisper White through the shapes on the die.  The floating floor is a great generic die that can make a floating floor for any theme - you don't have to use the accompanying house die if you don't want to.

Here's a view from the side.  The die cuts the 2 little slots and the "L" supports for you. 

Happy Stampin',
