Pop-Up Cake Card

This is the card I gave to my mom for her Birthday last month. I had so much fun making this card!!

The flowers were stamped with the Sale-A-Brations set, Polka Dot Punches and then punched out with the 5-Petal Flower Punch. The Filigree Designed Brad was added for the center.

The Happy Birthday tab is attached to a SU! Gift Ceretificate. I made the pouch by lining the So Saffron mat with Sticky Strip along the side and bottom edges, and adhered it to the Sahara Sand mat. I used the 1 3/8" Circle Punch to punch a half circle out of the top for the tab to show. The Gift Certificate slides in and out by pulling the tab.

Here's a close-up of the flowers....

The inside is the BEST part! SU! Just released 2 *NEW* 3-D Sizzix Dies! One is this Pop-Up Cake...

The die comes with all the instructions on how to attach each layer properly, so the cake will fold flat when the card is closed! So much FUN! Besides a candle cut-out, the die also has a Bride & Groom cut-out, so you can make your cake into a pop-up wedding cake!!

Wagon Full of Eggs

Here are the last two Easter cards I have to share with you. They are the same layout, but in reverse colors. Here is the Brocade Blue version...

I used the *NEW* stamp set, Wagon Full of Fun from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I stamped and cut out the wagon, then stamped the egg image on two different sheets of DSP from the Hostess Level 1 Print Pack. One was on Cameo Coral the other Brocade Blue. I cut out each section of the eggs.

I also stamped the egg onto my Whisper White mat using the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I adhered with cut pieces of the DSP egg image into the mat, and then colored in the rest with So Saffron Marker.

Here is the Cameo Coral version of the card...

The "Egg-ceptional!" saying was punched out using the Large Oval Punch and framed with the *NEW* Scallop Oval Punch.

I added a dot of Crystal Effects on each "nail" on the wagon and also to the dots on the Egg.

Stamp Sets: Wagon Full of Fun
Card Stock: Close to Cocoa, Brocade Blue, Cameo Coral, So Saffron, Whisper White, Print Packs DSP (Hostess Level 1)
Inks: Chocolate Chip Pad, Black Stazon, So Saffron Marker
Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Crystal Effects, Dimentionals, So Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon
Have a Happy Easter!!!

Punch Bunny Easter Card

Here is the card I made for our Family & Freinds for Easter. I just love this cute little punch bunny!

The punch bunny is made with the following punches (all SU!):
1 3/4" Circle-Whisper White
Large Oval-2 Whisper White
Small Oval-2 Pretty in Pink
3/4" Circle-2 Whisper White
1/4" Circle-2 Basic Black

I sponged Pretty in Pink on the ears as well as the cheeks, then used a Basic Black Marker to draw the whiskers and dots, and a White Gel pen for the eyes. The nose is a Pretty in Pink Brad.

I also used the *NEW* Scallop Oval Punch and coordinating Stamp Set, Ovals All. You might notice the "Easter Wishes" saying is not part of the Ovals All set. I colored in the flower portion of the stamp and then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the "Easter Wishes" from the Loads of Love Accessories set.

Here is the card in Almost Amethyst...


Stamp Sets: Ovals All, Loads of Love Accessories
Card Stock: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, Tea Party DSP
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Pretty in Pink/Almost Amethyst Marker, Certainly Celery Marker, Basic Black Marker

Easter Banner

I FINALLY used my SU! Pennant Big Shot Die to make this cute Easter Banner to hang in our Living Room.


I used the *NEW* Walk In The Park DSP from the Occasions Mini. I just love the color combo!

The scallop circles are from the same Pennant Die and the Die Cut Letters are from the Serif Essentials Alphabet Set. Here is a close-up of each letter....

Card Stock: Going Grey, Kiwi Kiss, Cameo Coral, Baja Breeze, Walk In The Park DSP
