Tag Book Pop Up

I recently got the new Tag Book Pop Up from Karen Burniston and it's so much fun to create with!  There are lots of decorator dies included in the set that aids in decorating the book so easily.  I found this cat themed stamp in my stash to go along with Karen's new Cat & Dog die.  Aren't those glasses the cutest?  There's a new die called Tiny Accessories 1 to jazz up all the animals.

Mewow!  Look at how fun this die is!  The decorator dies are great to use by themselves too.  Assembly is very easy.

Happy Stampin',

Swim a lap

The Crazy 4 Challenges team is swimming laps today - yes, it's Swim a Lap day (who knew?).  The team is to add some form of water on our cards and it's up to us what form the water takes.  I am really stretching it on this one.  I added flowers to my card as it's a given that flowers need water.  Cheating you say?  OK, yes I admit it.  In my defense, I wanted to try out more of Karen Burniston's new dies and use this paper I found in my stash.
I used Snowman Twist Circle to make this Spring floral card for a friend.  I also used Word Set 1 - Greetings and Flower Pot Pop Up.

 I left the inside with lots of room to write a note.  The card does fold flat so you can write anywhere around the circle.

Cupcake Pop Up

Oh how sweet this new Cupcake Pop Up die is!  I had the cupcake ribbon in my stash and the perfect stamp to match - yay.  The stamp is from Riley and Company.  Add a few sprinkles to the cupcake and viola the front is complete.

 Now here's the big cupcake - so fun!  The Cupcake Pop Up die set comes with all the coordinating dies to decorate the cupcake.  I also used another die set called Nature Edges.  What's great about Nature Edges you ask?  Well, you can get both pieces for the top and bottom of your card with one cut!  The stitching is on both sides of the die so you can use both pieces for a positive/negative look.  The "Celebrate" fits perfectly in the bump.

Katherine Label Pop Up

Here's another of Karen Burniston's new dies called Katherine Label Pop Up.  I followed the same design as shown on the packaging.  It's simple to follow and has such a fun element of surprise when you open the card.

 When you open the card, the "Thanks" pops up and hovers on the right side of the card.  The Katherine Label Die would be great to use just for the decorative labels on flat cards.

Twist Panel Pop Up

I am in love with Karen Burniston's new Twist Panel Pop Up!  I have used several of her new dies on this card - loving the new dies!  I kept the front simple as a lead in to the magic inside.  I used the new fox from Woodland Animals.  This little guy is so easy to assemble and so adorable.  I also used Word Set 2 - Birthday and Birthday Charms.

 I mean WOW!  Look at this FUN stuff inside!  The die set Twist Panel Pop Up comes with all those rectangles so you can make a very colorful panel.  It even comes with those pop up hearts in the folds - I added a few more cupcakes because why not?  Look at the little raccoon and fox from the Woodland Animals die set holding a present and a cupcake.  The cupcake and present are charms, to hide the little holes, I snipped the "Charm" circle off and hid it under a hand or added a cherry.  This die is FANTASTIC!

 Here's a view of the card as it's opening.  It is a little bulky so additional postage will be necessary or just hand deliver to that special someone.....I think my Mom has already called dibs on this card.

Charm Accordion with Sports Charms

My son's friend is having a birthday party and it's soccer themed.....and I have the perfect die for that!  For my base, I used Karen Burniston's new Charm Accordion.  Karen is now in cahoots with Riley and Company with a new line of dies.  I found some sports themed papers in my stash and I got to work.

 I cut 2 sets and hinged them together (yes, the hinge is included in the set).  You can't see the hinges as I adhered them to the back of the panel.  Since I have 4 panels, I put his name in the centers of the squares and look how perfect the green frame fits the letters!  The "Happy Birthday to you!" is from Karen's Word Set 2 - Birthday.  The soccer balls are from her previous collection and they are called Sports Charms.
Assembly of this card is super easy and it will fit into an A2 sized envelope!
