Sizzix Pop n Cutz!

 
 Hullo Hullo!
I have yet another Sizzix Pop n Cutz card to show today these are so so easy to make and i love them they make a nice change from your normal card, i think it is a nice surprise when you open these cards as you can make them as simple or as bold as you would like

This one in particular was clean and simple and here you can see the gap on the pop up, this is a good place for tucking money into as a surprise gift!

Be careful though as the recipient is normally bowled over with the design of your card (thanks to Karen Burniston!) that they don't normally notice the money!

This has happened to me twice now! lol x

I have used lots of different punches on here Martha Stewart  Cherish around the page punch,do crafts running stitch (i think or have i just made that up lol x) Dienamics fishtail flagstax, also Sizzix flagpole with lantern and sign, and of course XL horizontal base die set  3D circle label ( a must have)

Hope you like my man card!!

Rain Rain Go Away.......

 .... come again another day - or never !!!
Oooh! it is very grim today and i am now wishing i had cleaned the chickens out yesterday - guess i may get a little wet! Grrrrr
It was my eldest sons birthday a little while ago and this is the card i made him using the new Sizzix accordian album die, i am seriously loving this die at the moment as i think it makes the most wonderful cards and yet so so easy.
I must say he was rather impressed with his card, but more impressed when he found the money underneath!!

I also made him it's own little box to go in and was rather pleased with myself as i made it from scratch and it worked perfectly even the lid!

I normally struggle with things like this but for some reason someone was watching over me and allowed me a stress free cardmaking session in no time at all.

If you decide you like the above card but think no i will never manage that just take a look here at this you tube clip and i am sure you will change your mind it really is easy peasy!

Good Morning!

ooh it has been a long time since i have shared an Elzybell card my first love!!

I used these special little clear stamps for a good friend Zoe (aka Mrs Wonka) for  her birthday and just realised i had not shared the card as of yet - naughty me!

I used the very pretty pad from LOTV this one is called Bonnets and Bow Ties they are gorgeous , i have yet to get the krafty christmas i can't believe i forgot to purchase that one!

For the inside i used yet another great sizzix die called Floating frames i am loving the sizzix dies at the moment they give your card that extra bit of va va voom!!

There has been lots of die cutting and punching for this card, i was really pleased how it turned out.

Hope you like, have a wonderful Sunday, make the most of the sun if it is shining with you it is lovely here!

Yet Another!

Good Morning! 

What a lovely fresh bright and sunny day today, i suppose it is teasing us for the expected rain that is due tomorrow not forgetting the wind also!

well we could keep our fingers crossed i suppose that Mr Sunshine may make an appearance.

Well as my title suggests i have yet another Sizzix pop n cutz card but more pastel colours this time using some magnolia accessory stamps the may your day be special sentiment, balloons and cupcake!

On the front of the card i paper pieced the balloons and raised a couple with sticky pads then added some stickles to give it a little sparkle!

On the inside i used the Decorative strip dies, flagpole with lantern and sign, along with the Poppy Die Party Lanterns so i could spell out Paula to hang above the sentiment, I cut the flagpoles out a couple of times and wrapped pink and white twine around the front ones to add a little texture.

I couldn't resist using the martha stewart  pretty border punch and again lots of stickles to make this card sparkle for a special persons birthday!

I am loving these Maja papers they are so elegant and very girly.

I will be entering into the following challenges

Just Magnolia - whats new (party lantern poppy die)

Stampin for the weekend - feeling floral

Sassy Cheryl - die cut

Try it on Tuesday - anything goes

Have a great day!!

Sizzix Pop N Cutz

Good Evening!

Fingers crossed all will go well not had much luck with the ole pooter of late but tonight seems to be a good one!!

The link on blogger to add photos seems to be working so here we go......................

Well I have been making a few cards of late using the Sizzix Pop 'n' Cutz , I am certainly loving these and they are so easy to make and decorate you can whip them up in minutes depending of course how much you wish to embellish them.

This was a recent one i made for my parents Anniversary i decided to go bright and colourful - ok you may need your sunglasses!!

I kept the front nice and simple as i had gone overboard on the inside, which reminds me I need to return the little birds i used on the inside to Caz!!! (sorry mate!)

If you fancy having a go at making a pop n cutz card you can see all the different shaped insides they do at www.craftsulove.co.uk

I have made a couple more of these cards but will save them for another time as you are probably still getting over the shock that i have posted! lol x

I

Little Dickie Bird!

Good Day Peeps!!

You may have noticed in my last post that i was "Frogged", i say frogged because when someone accesses your account on Facebook they call it being "Fraped" so i decided that i had been "Frogged"(as in Blogged) all be it a nice one! lol x

In fact Caz was correct in everything she said about herself she has all these qualities but did forget to mention the crazy part which comes out on a daily basis we do at least 3 times a day have a good ole belly laugh which normally results in her crying!!

She cracks us up at work never a dull moment!!

Anyway i have now finally posted a card (shock, horror!) one i made a little while ago for work and yes looking at it looks like the little birdie has a very fancy tail!!

The birdie and butterflies are memory box dies, the flourish is cheery lynn.

For some reason my blogger will not work properly on our main computer we are having probs at the mo with it, may have to accidentally drop the blooming thing!

So can only post now when the laptop is free which is very rare!! Apologies for not visiting all of you hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Have a lovely day and fingers crossed we get the weather we are supposed to this weekend!
