Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. Today I am excited to be sharing a card created using the Karen Burniston Katherine Label Pop Up - and I have to say, once again I am more than impressed with the mechanisms used to create this Die Set - along with the others I have in my 'hot little hands!

I have used Kaisercraft for my patterned paper, and the adorable Karen Burniston Die Christmas Animals .  These have been layered onto the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Ovals Etched Dies using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.

My sentiments is from the Spellbinders Die D Lites Ho Ho Ho Holiday 2017 Etched Dies and has been cut/embossed using silver card stock. This has then been adhered to a Spellbinders Banner

The gorgeous Poinsettia is from Little Birdie Crafts, The snowflake is from Want2Scrap.  The Pop up sentiment is such a lovely surprise when the card is opened. The Kathryn Labels pop up mechanism has been used with a Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Circles Etched Dies.

It is Saturday evening for me here Down Under - today was a little bit fa shock as we have been having fabulous Spring weather - bit not today, it was very cool and windy.  I remind myself  we will be complaining about the heat before we know it!!  Colder weather means time in The Studio, but who am I kidding - so does hot weather LOL!

The patterned paper has been cut into squares and layered onto recycled cardboard, cut to size using a Spellbinders Matting Die and lightly sanded.  Each of the squares has been paper pierced by hand.  This has all been adhered to a pre-cut slightly larger Kraft card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets 4 x6.   Want2Scrap Turquoise Baby Bling has been added between each pennant.  

The Banners have been cut/embossed using the Die D-Lites Amused 1 Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.

TheSewing Machine image has been has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black onto white card stock and fussy cut/hand cut out using scissors. then popped up onto a die from the Spellbinders Distressed Edges Etched Die

Glue a scalloped white border below the image, next adhere a narrow strip of patterned paper and adhere it above the scalloped border.  Trim and adhere a strip of  Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Borders onto the scalloped edge.

Creating for Charity

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by.  I have been doing lots of sorting and also prioritising - in amongst all of this I was very challenged by a story I saw and decided I needed to make some cards to donate to a Charity on a regular basis - straight away I know it had to be my local Ronald McDonald House and I am thrilled they are excited about having them regularly.

Needless to say I have a 'Mountain' of bits and pieces on my desk (LOL - my life story) and created 20 cards instantly from them - using card bases made up with papers I had cut - ready for an occasion just like this.  I have used a combination of my favourite products and a lot of those things that I didn't want to throw away but just keep gather - like die cuts I may have done 20 of and only used 10. embossed card fronts left over from kits, home made embellishments that are gathering - I love to fiddle with them every now and then for a change of pace - and I hate to waste pretty things! 

It is such a great feeling to make these and donate them - and even better as it is not a one of  -'Chicken Soup for the Soul'!  I have to say that it has not even made a dent in my bits and pieces -but give it time!!   I have more made but am yet to photograph - but will get onto as soon as possible!!

My sentiments are  from the Karen Burniston Word Set #2 - Birthday 

The Pop up sentiment is such a lovely surprise when the card is opened. The Kathryn Labels have been layered and is a pretty touch.

Three Little Birdie Crafts Beaded Paper Daisies have been glued in a cluster onto a double Seam Binding bow.  This has been adhered on the left side of a strip of white lace.

Grateful for You

Hello friends - thank you for stopping by! Yesterday I shared a tutorial using one of the Spellbinders Stamp and Die sets (you an find it HERE) and had a stamped image left over put that together with the fact that I have been busy 'pottering' with leftover papers - the ones that are too pretty to throw out but can't sit around and clutter my desk for too much longer - do you have the same thing happen - or is it just me?! Wink:wink!! It all has to add up to a card....

The card front has been created by adhering some of my favourite left over pieces of patterned paper, from DCWV and Graphic 45, to some recycled cardboard.  This has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Thirty-Eight Etched Dies #6 (#1 being the smallest) The card base has been cut using white card stock using  Labels Thirty-Eight #7 and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine – 6″ Platform.

The feather from the One of a Kind Handmade by Stephanie Low Stamp and Die Set has been stamped using black ink and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  It has then been cut/embossed using the co-ordinating die and popped up onto the centre of the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares

.  A computer generated sentiment has been adhered below the feather using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  Sequins have been randomly added
