Our Fairytale...Karen Burniston Castle Pop Up and Kindred Stamps

Hello and welcome to my blog today.  I have created a very special card for my husband to celebrate our anniversary.  I used several different manufacturer's products to create a one of a kind work.  The front of the card shown here is actually the last panel I created.  I took a cue from Karen Burniston and used leftover pieces and parts to lead into the big reveal...

The castle pop up!  The center piece of this project using the Karen Burniston Castle Pop Up die set.  I used We R brand papers Once Upon a Time throughout the project.  I did find a nice red for the brick and roof tiles in my Quick Quotes stash.

 

I am really in love with the castle pop up.  It was so easy.  The hardest part is choosing the papers.

I used alcohol markers to color my ogre's. 

And the final result.

I didn't get a great shot of the clouds but some are fussy cut from the paper and some are die cut from the cloud paper with the cloud dies from the KB die set.

I used the same paper collection for the front.  I used a stencil and shimmer mist to create the stars.  I colored the fairy with alcohol markers with a hint of shimmer and glossy accents for eyeglasses.  

Ingredients:

Karen Burniston Castle Pop-Up dies

Kindred Stamps Fairytale Swamp and Swamp Sidekicks stamps

Tim Holtz Hocus Pocus Layering Stencil

Spellbinders Foliage Two dies

We R Once Upon a Time papers

Quick Quotes Main Street paper (red)

twine

alcohol pens and Creative Memories gold metallic pen

shimmer spray and wink of stella pens

Elizabeth Craft Asian Accesories on a Slimline card

Hello and welcome to my latest project.  I used lots of different dies and distress inks with a great collection of papers from DCWV.  I began with a slimline kraft card base.  I added a layer of DCWV Far East paper cut with a Pinkfresh Studios Slim Edgers die.  

I cut three circles of same paper collection with stitched circle dies.

I added three different die cut images on each circle from Elizabeth Craft Designs Asian Accessories dies.  I used more DCWV paper for the fan.  I inked white card stock with Distress Antique Linen for the fan hold.

I inked the rest of the die cuts.and pieced them together with a fine tip glue pen.  I purposefully inked the cups in a lighter shade than the teapot.

Ingredients:

Elizabeth Craft Designs Asian Accessories dies

Our Daily Bread Designs Double Stitched Circle dies

Pinkfresh Studios Slim Edgers dies

Distress Oxide inks including Hickory Smoke, Antique Linen and Pumice Stone

DCWV Far East paper stack

Quick Quotes Mocha Moma Powderpuff chalking ink

Altenew Gradiant Stripes Die for Dies R Us

 Hello, I have several cards I created with the Altenew Gradient Stripes die.  This die really lends itself to using the negative pieces.  Therefore, it works great in creating many cards in one sitting.  I used pattern paper to make the cards even more interesting.

All of the cards use Quick Quotes double sided designer paper, using double sided papers is another great way to stretch the negatives.  This first card uses the inside of a pattern paper.

This card uses the outside filled with a more solid but still patterned paper.  I used a coordinating solid paper to die cut the sentiment.

This card uses the same paper collection with a different paper.

Another view.  I just love how the inlaid pieces fit perfectly.

Sue Wilson Indonesian Collection for Dies R Us

Hello, and welcome to my blog today.  I have used dies from the Sue Wilson Indonesian Collection  to make this 5" x 5" square card.  I used coordinating papers to create a cohesive ensemble.

Here is the card base with all the cut layers prior to assembly.

I purposefully cut the oval backing piece with the heart showing through the "window".  This lent itself perfectly to the die cut sentiment from the same paper collection.

I used pop dots for the sentiment and the center oval section.

Ingredients:

Sue Wilson Indonesian Collection - background

Quick Quotes Papers and sentiment

glue and pop dots

Steampunk Hello for Dies R Us

Hi there, today I created a rainbowish background with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and Tim Holtz Yupo Paper.  I had so much fun playing with the inks.  I used a straw to blow around the inks.  I let most of the alcohol dry then burnished some scrap foil over the piece.  

Foil stays on the wet area usually where the ink puddles.  

I used metallic paper to die cut the steampunk butterfly and gears.  I added various gems to the center of the gears.  You can really see the burnished foil in this photo.

I used a double stitched rectangle die to create a frame from black glossy card stock for a real pop.

Karen Burniston Campfire and Smores Pop Up for Dies R Us

 It's a Sweet Hello! Complete with a campfire and yummy gooey smores. Tis the season for outdoor fun and today I used several Karen Burniston die sets to create this fun pop up.  On the front I used nesting dies to frame words and the pieced smores with a sprinkle of marshmallows.

The details on the smores are impeccable right down to the dots in the graham crackers.

And on the inside...a pop up campfire accented with marshmallows on a stick.  The sentiment completes on the inside.

Still perfecting the pop up fire.  One of Karen's suggestions is to color the empty fold space.  That's the easy step, the stones aren't too hard either but getting the fire to pop up properly is the tricky part.  It's always best to adhere one side firmly, then add glue to the "loose" side and close the card on it.
