Get Well Pop Up Card

Hello Everybody!

I am sooooo excited!  This is the first challenge at Creative with Stamps!  I'm very excited to be on the team!  So are you ready?  Here we go!

There are so many things for butterflies!  I love this challenge!  They are so fun and happy-especially this time of year.  I am also loving pop up boxes here lately.  So when I combined these 2 wonderful things...

I used my silhouette to cut the box.  I used to measure it out and score it.  Having the machine cut them, I'm able to make more!  Yay!

I embossed the pink papers for the bottom of the card.

I used this little polka dotted stamp to put dots around the top part of the card that pops out.  That Versamark does have a bit of a sparkle which is cool.   

Here is a closeup of the middle.  The green leaves and hearts are cut from the Silhouette.  The flowers are a punch.  I added pearls to the centers.  And the butterflies are from two different stamps.  The one on the left is Great Impressions and the one on the right is Stampin' Up.  Both are silver embossed.  The sentiment is also Stampin' Up.

                                         

Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of my teammates have created.  I know you will be inspired!

Until next time my friends...get out those stamps! :)

Princess Pop Up Box

Hello Everybody!

A very special little friend of our is having a birthday so I know I needed to make her a special card.  And a pop-up card is super special!  

I used my Silhouette machine to cut the card base out using the grilling card file by Lori Whitlock. (I love her stuff!!)  From there I made it into a princess card rather than the grilling card-which was challenging.  I'm a boy mama-LOL so princess stuff is scarce in these parts.  ;) 

And here is the card open up-magical!  

Here is the first panel.

Here is on the right side.  I had these pink flowers cut out (from a cuttlebug flower die cut) and on my desk.  I used gems from G studio that I got at Christmas for the centers.

Here is the left side.  This paper, the paper on the bottom, and the cardstock are all from Close to My Heart-Daydream.  (It's a bit old but I was so glad to have it.) :)

 Here is a close up of the middle.  The Silhouette cut the swirls on the farthest panel back and the crown.  The metal castle is a light weight metal brad (that's why the whole at the top).  I have also had this for a loooong time and either bought it at the Scrapbook Expo or the Internet.   The present is a stamp that I colored and fussy cut and the white flowers are Martha Stewart.

And then I tied it all up with a bow.  :)

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Creative Knockouts--#132 Use a die cut or punch--the flowers are from Cuttlebug, the crown and swirls are die cut from the Silhouette machine.

Crafty Gals Corner--#62 All about the Girls--pink, crowns, swirls, flowers :)

The Sisterhood of Crafters--Use die cuts or punches--the flowers are from Cuttlebug, the crown and swirls are die cut from the Silhouette machine.

Silhouette Challenges--#35 Must use the Silhouette--anything goes--the base of the card, swirls, and crown.

Great Impressions Friday Fun!

Hello Everybody!

It's my turn over at the Great Impressions Blog to show you a fun Halloween card.

I thought about how fun to do a pop card!  The measurements for this card can be found here.  This is a spooky close-up of the ghosts and the haunted house.  

I used the following Great Impressions Stamps for the pop up card.

A134 Halloween Greetings

F561 Haunted House

C406 Little Ghost

G379 Spider Web

These little "boo's" come from the little ghost stamp.  Here is a close up of the front.

Here's 1 of 4 spider webs that were embossed with orange embossing powder.

Here is one side of the box.

Here's is the other.

And this is what happens when you turn out the lights ;)  If you look close you see spooky ghosts. ;)

Be sure to check us out of Facebook and Pinterest!  Until next time my friends...are ya'll ready for Halloween? :)

Wonder Rose Pop Up Box Card

Hello Everybody!

I am super excited to share this card with y'all!  I finally took the time to make a pop-art card.  So many folks have made them-very awesome ones at that!  It was Dr. Sonia who made one a couple of days ago and that is when I decided I finally had to give this a try!

Here it is.  And there is a story...probably too long a long but I will share it and try to condense it.  :)  We are going to a birthday party for a little friend of my son's.  They play superheroes together and her superhero name is Wonder Rose.  (How cute is that!)  Anyway, when I was at the Scrapbook Expo I saw this set of super hero stamps from Fun Stampers Journey.  Had. To. Have. Them.  :)  There are 2 girls and 2 boys.  When I saw the W I just knew I would make Wonder Rose a birthday card with it.  I did not realize at the time that it would be a Pop Up Box card. :)

Here is the outside.  I embossed the small panels and used light modeling paste and a Heidi Swapp stencil for the bottom.  

Here is the other side.  The long panel is for the message (brilliant!)

Here is Wonder Rose.  The stars are from a little star punch that I have had forever.  Some of the stars are pop dotted and other are glued together to create the lines of stars on either side.  I love it when things I have forever get used.  I think it validates why I keep everything...but that is for a different day.  ;)  So WR is standing in front of a city sky line that I made with stamps from Close to My Heart.  I heat embossed them with silver powder and fussy cut them out.  I even pop dotted one.  I colored her with Copics and a Distress marker (for her hair).

Now let me tell you about these panels.  There is a company called Sparkle N Sprinkle.  They make a sticky sheet and an ultra fine soft glitter called cloud nine.  I put the double sided sticky sheet to a piece of white cardstock.  Trimmed it to fit the square.  Peel off the other side and applied the glitter.  Then I stamped on it with Rangers Archival ink.  That's it beside gluing it down.  This picture doesn't even do it justice.  It's so cool!

The top and bottom stamp are from the Superheroes set by Fun Stampers Journey.

I am linking this "super" card to the following challenges:

Sparkle N Sprinkle--Anything Goes with Loose Glitter and Embossing (and flocking but I didn't do that)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Challenge M-Mixed Media card (light modeling paste/stencil, heat embossing, coloring with markers)

Love To Create Challenge: Challenge 115 Friendship (this is for my son's friend)

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...who is going to save the day? ;)
