Hot Air Balloon Pop Up

I loved Summer's Hot Air Balloon shaker tutorial on the Elizabeth Craft Designs' blog so much that I wanted to give it a try.
I swayed from Summer's tutorial just a bit but not cutting out the center portion of the balloon.  I wanted to show the new Through the Lens Metal paper off!  I die cut the TTL paper and foam using the accent die.  I took a piece of acetate and adhered it to the back of the TTL paper then adhered the foam to that to form my shaker.  Next I filled it up with beads and then placed the larger part of the balloon on top of the stack. 
I cut out the license plate from the TTL stack and stamped my sentiment on the balloon.  A very understated but tasteful masculine card.

Happy Stampin',

Crazy 4 Challenges - Purple Day

The Crazy 4 Challenges team was challenged to make a purple card.  This was an easy challenge for me - make a purple card!
I was gifted this fun paper and thought this is perfect for my purple challenge.  I used the frame die from Hanging Charm Pull Tab to accent my stamped sentiment.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to color directly onto the Delightful Dozen stamp to get lots of colors.
I transformed the Cake Pop Up into lots of presents!  The little present on the top is from Evergreen Pivot Card.  I used the bow on all the boxes and to get the ribbon portion longer, I stopped the cutting pad short so I could get a longer length.  I used the Pull Card Edges to create the circle above the presents.

Happy Stampin', 
Raquel

Ring Accordion

I love the new cupcake from Elizabeth Craft Designs so much that I thought it would be the perfect embellishment for this Ring Accordion card.  I had the perfect stamp too!
I die cut 3 Ring Accordions and various pieces of Fitted Fancy Frames 5 - Lace Circles to create this super cute card.  I just love that there are so many different sized in the Fitted Fancy Frames and they fit the Ring Accordion too!

Happy Stampin', 
Raquel

Crazy 4 Challenges - Sketch

It's the 3rd Saturday of the month and that means it's sketch time with Crazy 4 Challenges.  I followed the sketch using a new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Rose Wonder. 
 I die cut the rose outline using black card stock.  Next I die cut the rose from yellow card stock and tried not to poke all the petals out so I could lay the black outline right over the top.  I stamped the sentiment then die cut using the coordinating dies called Rose Garden Thinlits- this set comes as a bundle!
For the inside, I added a strip of DSP and a yellow die cut flower from the same die set.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Pull it day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge.
I wanted to make another masculine card for this challenge, so I decided to use the Spiral Circle Pull Card for the base.  I decided to use the Clock & Gears die on the front of my card.  I am in love with Elizabeth Craft Designs' new Through the Lens card stock!  I have used Stone on this card.
I was browsing Pinterest the other day & saw a card with a bowler, mustache and tie.  I knew I could recreate the look using Props 1. The Pull Card Edges make decorating the edges of any pull card so easy.
I used the new Party with Cake stamp set from Stampin' Up! for the sentiments.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Pull It

Karen challenged her Design Team to create a pull card this month using any pull or push type card.  So I decided to turn the challenge into a card for my son's friend who's turning 9!  I used the Rectangle Pull Card for the base and the sentiment is from Happy Birthday Pop Up.  I had the game controller stamp in my stash, so I stamped it onto 85lb Soft Finish Card Stock and colored it using Stampin' Write Markers.
I added a large star to the "Spinner" and the #9 is from Numbers & More from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  It's so easy to add pattern paper to the pull cards with the Pull Card Edges die set.
I used the accessory star bar die from Happy Birthday Pop Up to create the star cut outs on the rectangle.

Happy Stampin', 
Raquel
