Hello Crafty Friends and welcome. I have three cards for you today all which use Karen Burniston's Coffee Cup Pop-Up. I got thinking of fun teacher cards, or Christmas cards where you would give a gift card and thought the Coffee Cup Pop-Up would be perfect to turn into fun Christmas cards.
Let's start with the first card, which is a snowman coffee cup card. For this card, I started with a top fold A2 sized card base using heavy weight smooth white cardstock. I then added some pretty patterned paper from my favourite paper company Echo Park.
I then added some double sided adhesive to white cardstock and die cut the napkin using the dies in the Coffee Cup Pop-Up die set. I created my coffee cup (see the YouTube video below to see how I made each coffee cup), then added it to my napkin and placed it in my card.
I used Karen Burniston's Christmas Borders 2 and added some red mittens as a top and bottom border in my card. I used Word Set 13 - Snow to create my sentiment on the top of my card. Then I used Karen Burniston's Winter Hug clear sentiment stamp set to add a sentiment to the bottom of my card. I added some left over snowflakes from the mittens to decorate the inside of the card.
For my second card, I created a Santa card using the Coffee Cup Pop-Up along with the Character Add-Ons 2 and Mini Ball Add-On's 1 - Gnomes. I started with a top fold A2 card base using Lawn Fawn's Tomato cardstock. I added some of the same patterned paper from Echo Park, then I added some red ribbon to the top and bottom of my card.
I stamped a sentiment on to some red cardstock, using MFT - Hug in a Mug sentiment stamp, VersaMark ink and white embossing powder. I added a white oval to the bottom for a place to sign the card. I added a green napkin for this card, using Spellbinders - Fern cardstock
For my last card, I used the Animal Add-Ons 3 to make the reindeer face. I added a gold bell using Spellbinders Santas Festive Crew die set.
I started with an A2 top fold card base using heavy weight smooth white cardstock, then added the same patterned paper as my other cards. I kept this one very simple, adding just some green cardstock from Spellbinders. I did stamp another sentiment to the top of the card, using the same MFT stamp set.
I love how you can take older dies and make them new again! It was really fun creating these coffee cups and you could use all kinds of Karens animals dies to create themed cards for any occasion or holiday! To watch how I made this cards, check out the YouTube video below.

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to another Designer Challenge! Our theme this month is Peek-a-Boo! What's inside my card? Well open the box and find out!
For this card, I started by making a 5x7 box using Karen's instructions for her boxes. They come in two sizes and can actually fit cards inside them or other things! You can find them on her website and they are free, so be sure to check them out.
For my box, I used black cardstock. Then I added some red cardstock that I embossed using a 3D embossing folder. I then added some patterned spider web paper. I created the coffin on top of my card added some of the bones and skull from the Halloween Borders.
Inside the box is my little Vampire!! I used the Bitty Ball and the Character Add-Ons 1 to create my fang-tastic vampire. I added some more embossed red paper. I wanted the box to have the feel of being inside a coffin. I added some bats to the back seam on the box.
Then on the other side of the box, I added some of the new Halloween Phrases sentiments along with some more spider web patterned paper.
For my vampire, I tried to add some veins on his face and blood on his fangs. I am a big fan of Interview with a Vampire (the book and the movie) and thought a pop-up vampire would be perfect for my Peek-A-Boo challenge card!

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! I have a fun Halloween card for you today. When I was a kid, we use to have this thing called a Dickie Dee. It was a freezer on wheels and teenagers would get a summer job riding this bikes around with a freezer on the front. They sold ice creams and popsicles. My absolute, hands down favourite was the Ghost Popsicle. It was purple and had gumballs for eyes and a mouth. It was the best! So it made me think of Halloween ice cream treats!
For this card, I started with an A2 top fold card base using orange cardstock. I cut a piece of patterned cardstock 1/8" smaller than my card base. I folded it in half, using my bone folder to make a good crease. Then I used the Ice Cream Sundae Pop-Up die to die cut the pop-up piece for my card.
I die cut the sundae bowl, ice cream and accessories from smooth white heavy weight cardstock and coloured it all in with Copic markers. I used the wafer as a piece of metal, I added slime using the whipped cream swirl and I turned the cherry into an eye ball!
I added some more patterned paper, creating a napkin using the napkin die from the Coffee Cup Pop-Up. Then I added the metal spoon in front of my sundae. I added a skull border then a place to sign the card.
I used Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron on some smooth white cardstock, then die cut the "Happy Halloween" sentiment out. I cut the background from glitter white cardstock. Then I glued them together and added it to my card.
For the front of my card, I created some fun ice cream cones, giving them spooky faces. I used the Mini Alphabet and Numbers to create my Trick or Treat sentiment.
I really love turning things like ice cream into something spooky! Thank you so much for stopping by today, below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card. Happy Crafting!

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! If you can believe it, I still don't have all the fantastic dies that Karen has on her website. Recently, I purchased the Charm Accordion pop-up die set and had to make a fall themed card with it. Then add those great new sentiment stamps and you've got the perfect combo for an amazing card!!
For this card, I started by die cutting two of the Charm Accordions. Then I cut them in half. I turned two upside down so that it would be staggered having the accordion areas up and down. I cut three pieces to act like a book spine for my panels, so I could put them all together. I followed Karen Burniston's great video on how she made a similar card. You can view that by clicking here.
I die cut the Charm Accordion panels from Autumn themed patterned paper I had. Then I folded them in half and with my paper trimmer, trimmed each side of the panels 1/16". This made them even all around and 1/8" smaller than my base card. I glued the patterned paper to my panels, alternating them as I glued them down.
I die cut four white labels to add to each accordion area. I stamped some sentiments to them using the new Autumn Phrases sentiment stamp and Detail Black ink. Then I used the Feathered Animals die to cut out a turkey to add to one of my panels. I left the last one blank so I had a place to sign the card.
For my charms, I used the Baking Borders to make pies, then I used the heart charm that came with the Charm Accordion die set and glued it to the back of the pies, trimming the extra. This turned my pies into charms! Then I die cut the little hooks from the same cardstock as the base of my card and used them to add my pie charms to my card.
Lastly, I die cut several leaves, apples, pumpkins and acorns from the Autumn Elements die set and added them to my card, including the front of the card. I die cut them from smooth white cardstock and coloured them in with Copic markers.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card. Happy Crafting and be sure to check out all the new sentiment stamps from Karen Burniston!!

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! My card for you today was created for Lawn Fawn's Challenge 205 - Awesome Autumn. I'm not sure about you, but I love Autumn!!! The colours, the smell of leaves, the cool weather but still warm enough during the day to wear flip flops! For this card, I used the Sunny Sunflower die set along with the Watering Can to create my fall scene.
For this card, I started with a light brown heavy cardstock for the card base. I cut it 10 x 7 and scored it at 5" so I could make a 5x7 card.
I die cut Lawn Fawn's Watering Can from smooth white cardstock and coloured it in with Copic markers. I wanted to create some rust marks so I added these with Copics as well.
Then I die cut two sunflowers from the Sunny Sunflower die set. I cut these from smooth white cardstock as well and coloured them in with Copic markers.
I glued the sunflowers and watering can together using Lineco Neutral pH adhesive in a fine tip bottle. Then I glued it on to my card front.
This card is just so pretty! Sunflowers are my favorite flowers and I was lucky this year that my neighbour planted lots, so I could look out my window and see pretty sunflowers! Thank you so much for stopping by. The list of the supplies I used to make this card is below. Happy Crafting!

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome. My card for you today uses the Arch Pop-Up along with the new Fall Phrases sentiment stamp set.
For this card, I started with an A2 card base using Lawn Fawn Ground Coffee cardstock. I added some pretty fall leaves patterned paper. I die cut the arch pop-up from the same cardstock as the card base, then added it to my card using Lineco Neutral pH adhesive in a fine tip bottle.
I used Karen Burniston's Autumn Elements die set and cut several leaves, pumpkins, apples and acorns from smooth white heavy weight cardstock. I coloured everything in using Copic markers. I added Glossy Accents to the apples and when they were dry, used my Gelly Pen in a size 10, to add shine lines to the apples. I then started glueing everything to my arch, closing the card in between to make sure that nothing stuck out and that the card could close properly.
Then I added two labels, one with one of the new Fall sentiments stamped on it and one blank for a place to sign the card. I added some more Autumn Elements to add a little something extra to the bottom of my card.
For the front of the card, I used the same patterned paper. Then I used more Autumn Elements to create a kind of wreath around my stamped sentiment. I stamped this on to a circle die cut using the Circles - Crosshatch die set.
I just love fall and the Autumn Elements along with the new sentiment stamp set are perfect together! Thank you so much for stopping by today, below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card. Happy Crafting!

I set my card base aside and started making my picture for the Flip Frame. I die cut the frame from a glitter black cardstock. Then I cut the background out using white cardstock. I added some clouds in the background using Simon Says Stamps Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Fairway and my MFT Mini Clouds stencil.
Then I die cut my witch from smooth white cardstock and coloured her in with Copic markers. I added her to my picture frame, then added her broom to the side of the frame. I glued this into my card.
I used the Mini Alphabet and Numbers die set to cut out the sentiment "to my best". Then I used my Cricut to cut out witch, using the same sparkly black cardstock as the frame.
I added a sentiment to the other side of the card using the new Halloween Phrases stamp set. Then I added a place to sign the card and used the tree from the Halloween Scene die set to add some more details to the inside of my card.
For the front of the card, I used the same patterned paper, adding some purple cardstock to make it pop. Then I added some ovals from the Ovals - Crosshatch. I added more clouds and used the cauldron on the front of the card. I added Glossy Accents to the bubbles in the cauldron.
