Happy Belated B-day Liane!

My BFF's b-day was last week but I was late as usual in getting her present to her. Hope she got it by now! Anyway, decided to make that Sliding Pop-Up Card again to practice and this time used my new Dandelion Designs stamps! Woo Hoo! Island Scrapbooking brought them in for me (Thanks Michele!). I love that Jean is now doing them in clings instead of woods. Included in the set are also directions for a cute project! I didn't get to try it out yet, but hope to do so before girl's day. Traditionally Dandelion stamps are smaller in size, but these new clings are pretty good sized stamps! I was quite happy that Jean was giving us new sizes to play with too.. Thanks Jean! Here's what the card looks like when you pull on the ribbon... The sentiment inside the card comes with the set. It also includes another girl holding a cupcake. The Wising You sentiment is by Verve stamps. Hope you had a great birthday Liane! Can you believe how old we are getting???? Supplies:

• Girl and sentiment- Dandelion Designs
• DP- My Little Shoebox
• Wishing You sentiment- Verve Stamps
• Ribbon- American Crafts
• Oval dies- Spellbinders

Sliding Pop-Up Redux

Yes, once I learn a new technique, I need to practice, and practice, and practice, until I get it. Here's another Sliding Pop-Up card (tutorial found on Splitcoast Stampers). I think these are better photos than my last card (sorry about that). I decided to use some scraps that I found that made a great background! I love these papers by Prima that Island Scrapbooking brought in awhile ago, but I just never had a chance to play with them since the holidays. I thought this was the perfect background since it some cute flowers. Added in some crystals and butterflies to dress it up a bit. Here's what the card looks like once you pull on the ribbon. DH had a hard time pulling it until I showed him that you have to hold the card on the sides (green cardstock area), otherwise the card won't slide up. The other cool thing about this card is that it will stay propped up like an easel card, which is nice if you want to display it. Here's a close up of Brigitta... Supplies:

• Swiss Pixie's Fall Birgitta- CC's designs
• DP- Prima
• CS- Bazzil
• Crystals- Kaisercraft
• Butterfly punch- MS Crafts
• Sentiment- Lawn Fawn

Wishing You...

Woo Hoo... Happy Friday Everyone! I found this cool tutorial on Splicoast Stampers called Sliding Pop-up Card. Its pretty easy to make and packs a punch when you pull the ribbon.... she pops up! It also reveals a message when you pull the ribbon. Sorry, I guess the card slid back so it's hiding some of the sentiment. Got this cute Cherrie stamp from All that Scraps. Its actually a Tickled Pink stamp line, but All that Scraps has it in stock. There are other Cute Cherrie images available including some new Valentine's Day themed images. The thing I like about this pop up card is that it lays down flat which makes it nice for mailing. In the photo below, you can see that Cherrie is popped up by her shadow. Supplies:

• Cherrie stamp- Tickled Pink
• DP- Creative Imaginations
• CS- Bazzil
• Ribbon
• Stickles
• Sentiments- Verve Stamps
• Oval and Scallop Oval dies- Spellbinders
• Crystals- Kaisercraft
