Pinecone Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have a holiday card to share made with the Rectangle Pull Card by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs. I was having fun with the beautiful pinecone and sprig by Elizabeth Craft Designs and this card just made itself!

I had a strip ofgold foil card left from other projects and no way I was going to let any of it go to waste - so I trimmed it down and used the pieces on this card for some holiday shimmer and shine.

Into my Christmas Card Stash with this one.

C4C360 In a Name

Good morning friends

It's Saturday  so that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog. Our October 2016 hostess is Caz Counsell and our Guest Designer is Heidi Green - The Crafty Goat Girl

Caz's challenge is:  In a name.... using your initials make a card using dies/stamps that start with your letters

Since my first initial is 'K' for Karen, I chose Joset's KITE die and my favourite Pop-it Ups - the Spiral Circle Pull Card.

The card was cut from white card stock - remember with Pop-it Ups you get to choose the size of your card - and the patterned paper was cut with the Pull Card Edges. The little clouds were leftover on my craft table from a different project, but the shape worked perfectly with the paper. Love those happy surprises ... and using things up!

The notches that cut with the SCPC keep the card closed until the sides are pulled.

Check out the C4C blog to see how the Crazies have been inspired by the challenge. We'd  love to see your take on it, so be sure to stop by the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and link up your creations. If you are uploading to an online gallery, please use the keyword C4C360.

C4C357 A Colour Challenge

Good morning friends

It's Saturday  so that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog. Our October 2016 hostess is Caz Counsell and our Guest Designer is Heidi Green - The Crafty Goat Girl

Caz's challenge is:  "Colour wheel mix up... find your favourite 2 colours on the wheel and use the 2 colours on the opposite side of the wheel …. this will challenge you to maybe use colours you would usually shy away from."

Given the choice, my favourite colours to work with would be blue and green. The opposite colours are pink and orange. I was going to use pink and orange card stocks to make my card, but found this patterned paper looking for something else and ... well, there was enough pink and orange on it to grab my attention.

I used the Rectangle Pull Card by Karen Burniston to create a 5 x 7" Pull card. There is lots of added glitter glue and this card is quite sparkly in real life.

When you pull the sides, the card opens and the cupcake spins up. The Rectangle Pull Card comes with this optional spinner and it's great for animating all kinds of things.

I used Joset's sweet cupcake die and added lots of glitter to that too!

Squirrel Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog and I have a Z-fold card to share today. Once again I used a patterned A2 card, this time with the print on the left and the solid back on the right.  The Spiral Circle Pull Card is easy peasy to use - simply place the alignment nubs on the scored centre line and cut. A little Washi Tape decorated the edges.

I thought this little squirrel sticker from my stash was so cute!

When the sides are pulled, the card opens to reveal the hand lettered greeting.

Into my Thanksgiving stash with this card.

Below is a photo of all 4 of the cards I made using the brown patterned cards that were in the package. The other three were posted earlier. My friend "B" brought the patterned cards to Arizona with her when she came to visit and split the package with me. It was her idea to use the patterned cards with the Pull Card dies, and you can see I use it a fair bit! You can always search 'Pull Cards' on the right of my blog to see all of them.

Supplies:
Patterned A2 card - Michaels
Washi Tape
Spiral Circle Pull Card, Pop it Ups - Karen Burniston (Elizabeth Craft Designs)
Stickers - stash
Card size - 5 x 5-1/2", fits in a 5 x 7" envelope.

C4C 355 Birthday Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Saturday  so that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog. Our September 2016 hostess is Raquel Mason and our Guest Designer is Fran Sabad.

Raquel's son Jake celebrates his birthday today, so her challenge is to make a Birthday Card for someone you love. Our son had a birthday this month, so this is the card I made for him using some fun beer stickers from my stash.

I started my card with an A2 patterned card - pattern on the right side and and the solid coloured back on the left. These cards are white inside, and they are perfect to use for any of the Pull Cards by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs. 

As is, it would create a 5-1/2" square card. I trimmed 1/4" off each side for a 5 x 5-1/2" card which fits perfectly into a 5 x 7" envelope for mailing.

I stamped the banners with Karen Burniston's new Occasions Clear Stamps, then die cut them with the coordinating die in the Anita Frames Pop-Up. The banners were strung with bakers twine.

Check out the C4C blog to see how the Crazies have been inspired by the challenge. We'd sure love to see your take on it, so be sure to stop by the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and link up your creations. If you are uploading to an online gallery, please use the keyword C4C355.

Sympathy Pull Card with Chipboard Embellishments

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have a Pull Card to share using the Spiral Circle Pull Card die by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

My friend 'B' shared her idea of using purchased patterned cards as the card base - with the pattern face up, you simply line up the die's alignment nubs with the centre score line and cut. Using an A2 patterned card base will give you a 5-1/2" square card. If you trim 1/2" off one of the sides it will easily fit into a 5 x 7 envelope for mailing.

I added some chipboard embellishments from my stash and hand lettering inside.

Supplies:

Patterned A2 card - Michaels

Chipboard embellishments - Michaels

Stitched circle - My Favorite Things

Card size - 5-1/2" square

Pumpkin Pull Card for Fall

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog and I have a Pull Card to share today using the Spiral Circle Pull Card by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.  It's no secret that I love this die set - see the notches that keep the card in the closed position? They also allow the card to stand on it's own even while closed. When the recipient pulls the sides, the inside of the card is revealed.

In my effort to use some of the older products in my craft room instead of always turning to the new items ... I found this textured pumpkin patterned paper that I'd been hoarding. I know once it's gone, it's gone and frankly that freaks me out. But I cut into it and made a card with it and the world continued to spin. Ha.

Karen Burniston designed the Pull Card Edges to work with all of the Pull Cards (the Circle, Oval and Rectangle) and the scalloped edge fits perfectly over the tuck slots. I have requested a Square Pull Card for a future release, one that will fit a 3-1/2" Zentangle tile. Fingers crossed!

Holy moly - it was summer then Mother Nature flipped the switch and overnight it became Fall. I hope Gregg's Mom gets to see some of the fall colours when she arrives next week but at this rate, the leaves could all have blown off! The landscapers arrived  the day after she left last year so she hasn't seen any of our landscaping. Can't wait to surprise her with how great it looks. 

Supplies:

Spiral Circle Pull Card, Pop it Ups - Karen Burniston (Elizabeth Craft Designs)

Pull Card Edges, Pop it Ups - Karen Burniston (Elizabeth Craft Designs)

Canyon Clay card stock -  Papertrey Ink

Sympathy Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have another Spiral Circle Pull Card to share today using a purchased brown patterned A2 card.

You simply put the alignment nubs on the centre score line with the card front on the right and the card back on the left. This will give you a 5-1/2" square card, but one edge can be trimmed by 1/2" to give you a 5 x 5-12" card that will fit into a 5 x 7' envelope.

The notches keep the card in the closed position to prevent an accidental reveal - and below is how the card looks when it's pulled open at the sides.

I added some chipboard embellishments from my stash, as well as 3-d stickers that were leftover from a different project. The words were stamped on a stitched circle.

Supplies:
Patterned A2 card - Michaels
Chipboard embellishments - Michaels
3-d stickers - K & Company
Stitched circle - My Favorite Things
Stamp - The Stamps of Life

Back to School Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have a Z-Fold card to share today made with the Spiral Circle Pull Card by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I think it turned out so cute! This will be for our Granddaughter Olivia - even though she has to be home schooled because of her disease Pulmonary Hypertension, she is still going 'back' to school in September.

The SCPC cuts notches that hold the card in the closed position until the recipient pulls the sides to open it - and this is what the inside looks like:

Gourd Oval Pull Card for Thanksgiving

Good morning friends

Today I'm sharing a Thanksgiving card made using the Oval Pull Card by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs. This time though, I didn't cut the notch that holds the card in the closed position by stopping the cutting pad before the notch.

I had a piece of this lovely gourd printed paper leftover from a different project and when I saw the gourd embellishments in my stash I knew exactly what I wanted to do. The Pull Card Edges were used on the left side of the card, cutting a pretty gold foiled patterned paper in the same paper stack. Below you can see the card as it is opened.

Supplies:
Oval Pull Card, Pop it Ups - Karen Burniston (Elizabeth Craft Designs)
Pull Card Edges, Pop it Ups - Karen Burniston (Elizabeth Craft Designs)
Patterned paper and embellishments - K & Company

Karen Burniston's August 2016 Designer Challenge "Flour or Flower "

Good morning friends

It's time for the August Designer Challenge "Flour or Flower' ...  Make a card with flowers OR make a card with a baking/cooking theme - you decide! What a FUN challenge! I opted for 'Flour' and this is what I came up with.

I can't tell you how much fun it was making this card. I just smiled the whole time it was coming together.  Sweet Baker has been busy baking and decorating a birthday cake, and the card base is a Stand Up card made with the Rectangle Pull Card die.

Here is the card in the closed position, ready to be put in an envelope.

I love it when I can get extra use out of my dies, and using the Rectangle Pull Card as a Stand-Up (or Easel) card is a great example of that. Also the cake layers - they are supposed to be layered onto the Cake Pop-Up but they also work great as a flat embellishment!

The little slice of cake was cut from Soft Finish Card Stock, then brushed with Wink of Stella (several coats). It looks so SHIMERY - I love it. The fork was coloured with a metallic marker.

I added a second oval inside the opened card as a spot to sign the card, and another little cupcake to carry on the cake theme.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Designer Challenge team has come up with for this challenge. Karen Burniston will have her post on her BLOG tomorrow (Tuesday).

Father's Day Oval Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have a Z-Fold Father's Day card to share today using the Oval Pull Card by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I had just received my Stampin' Up order and wanted to use this cool airplane stamp so this is what I came up with.

The Oval Pull Card comes with optional Slot and Slider dies and I chose to use them here to animate the plane. I added some pen lines on the card, including the little heart trail on the slider arm. There is a similar stamp in the set, but I wanted to doodle this one.

As you pull the sides of the card, the notch releases and you get a glimpse of the inside and how the Slot & Slider work.

Patterned paper - Echo Park

C4C 345 Sketch

Good morning friends

It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog.  Our hostess for July is Joanne Grzelak and the Guest Designer is Alexis Crossland-Smith Scrappin’ Sistah

Since it's the 3rd Saturday of the month - Joanne has a sketch for us this week:

Here is my take on the sketch ... I saw the oval and immediately knew I wanted to use the Oval Pull Card, by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I added a butterfly embossed panel on the left, a layered HUGS die and stamped banner on the oval, and dangled a butterfly charm from the oval to represent the star on the sketch.

The charm is from the Hanging Charm Pull Tab set ... it's fun to add little dangling charms on other cards as well as the HCPT.

C4C344 Daisy Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Saturday so that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog.  Our hostess for July is Joanne Grzelak and the Guest Designer is Alexis Crossland-Smith Scrappin’ Sistah

Here is Joanne's challenge this week:  July 11 is Cheer Up the Lonely Day. Let’s create cards of encouragement.

I have this wonderful encouragement stamp set from Verve, and this was a perfect time to use it! I started with the Oval Pull Card by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs, and decided I really wanted to colour on a glittered Peel-Off. 

The notch holds the card in the closed position until the recipient pulls the sides to open the card. Love that feature. I know I've said it before but I love that feature!

Els designed these pretty daisy Peel-Off's to work with the Oval Pull Card and Oval Accordion so I knew they would fit perfectly. Both the words and inner Peel-Off are hidden until the card is opened.

Inside I used a Transfer Sheet to adhere the negative part of the Peel-Off.

Check out the C4C blog to see how the Crazies have been inspired by the challenge. We'd sure love to see your take on it, so be sure to stop by the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and link up your creations. If you are uploading to an online gallery, please use the keyword C4C344.
