Pop Up Cupcake

I went to a scrapbook convention...
It was a very small one at the Long Beach Convention Center in September (I think...)

There was a company there called Party Hearty, Inc.

They have really cool interactive templates!

You've got to check them out...

Anyway, I got this template from them, but adapted it to be used with SU Papers and Stamps!

I used the Cupcake and (if you see my previous post about the cupcake, I cut out the words in the cup portion of the cupcake). I punched out the holes and used the RETIRED triangle eyelets. They matched the papers perfectly! I added red square ones because the Cherry needed something to balance it!

You pull the tab, and the cupcake pops up and to the top of the card revealing a message behind the cupcake base!

You can see the mechanism in the photo to the left....

and the message is revealed below!

Rock N Roll Just Jawin'

This is a Rockin' Skull from Just Jawin'. I know that most people don't like skulls, but this mechanism is one that can be adapted to other shapes and not just skulls. I can also apply this one to a heart or flowers.

I will try to show how I did this one in another post (after I work on the mechanism more)

You can see the pull part close up

You pull and push it to make the skull twist and rock....

It really is a cool movement card aka Pop up!

This is one of the sets you can get at a discount with a party order~! Be sure to check it out...it is from the SAMPLER Mini Catalog

Hidden Message Card

This was one of the cards we did today...and although was not my favorite, it has been a good one to show!

The colors are Kiwi Kiss and Black. I used the Doodle This stamp set, along with the Curvy Label Punch (and stamps) and Wonderful Favorites.

I also used the Star Brads, and filled it in with Crystal Effects and Glitter

The card is scored and folded like a gate card but also folded in 1/2. If you have a Scor Pal, this is very easy to do.

You score it at the (dots) and then also at 4 1/4". Then you cut across the middle section, in 3 cuts. I used 1.25" on the top and bottom sections, and then the center is approx 1".

The 2 black pieces are cut at 2 1/8" x 5 1/2". They weave in and out of the center cut sections. Be sure to stamp both sides of the black pieces. They will show both sides.

TO open and reveal the Hidden message:

You fold the back sides together in the center (away from you) and then open the center section up.

I stamped more words inside!

I figure this can go to my brother....

only if he can figure it out, will he get the full message~!

More pop up cards will be posted tomorrow and Monday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome 2009!

Well, did you stay up to celebrate the New Year? I was snuggled in bed, watching tv, and the big ball drop down..and also listening to my neighbors loud party.....across the back yard....It wasn't a bad party, at least until after midnight when the guy on the microphone was rapping and wouldn't SHUT up! and he got the partiers screaming and yelling...that was enough!

Bah Humbug, right? Well, they finally quieted about 12:40, I think the police came to tell them to quiet it down. The music was still playing, but a little softer...

This morning, I got up to watch the parade, which I don't normally do, but I felt like it since my pastor's daughter was marching in the parade..!!!

She plays clarinet for the USC marching band, and they're in the Rose Bowl playing against Penn State!

Go TROJANS!

I made this box while I was 'watching' the parade using the clear cover sheets cut with the Scallop Envelope die, and then I used the Brushed Silver cardstock and punched with the snowflake punch. I filled it with candy kisses, (silver of course! ) and then used the sticky tape and the chunky silver glitter to add more sparkle!

Happy New Year, and whatever you're doing today, start the year with Happiness, Cheer and hugs from me....!!

Happy NEW YEAR!

I was shopping in Rite Aid, and I came across a small mesh baggie of these little chocolate roses (for a 1.00!) I thought they might make a cute project without involving 4.00 worth of m&m's to fill each person's tube. The tubes can be made bigger or smaller of course, but I like this size tube.

The top and base was done in Riding Hood Red, and the insert was done with Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss. I stamped the stem and leaves in Kiwi Kiss, and then Love you from Short & Sweet (pg 146) in Black ink





The rose was attached with Mono (which I should've used sticky tape) it was coming loose, so I had to take a photo quick before it came off! I can't fix it because I used the sticky tape for the top and bottom (very important to use the sticky tape since it holds up better. If you had m&m's in this, it would be too heavy for Mono to hold all them inside! (can you imagine this spilling out! NOT!)








I used the Scallop circle 2 die cut (the smaller one) and then punched a 1 3/8 circle for the center. I needed to punch the center for the ribbon.

The back of the insert was stamped on Pink Pirouette in Riding Hood Red, using the heart and the Love you from the Short & Sweet set (146, 15.95)
I can also see a sucker inside this or...maybe if you wanted to give someone a cute pen...with a doodad on top! You can make it taller to fit inside!

Happy New Year! Be safe and celebrate "Fine in OH-Nine!"

With a Cherry on Top!

If you know me, you know that I love Cherries....

Love Cherries....oh, I should put in a photo of a gift I got for Christmas! It was from my friend Valerie. She gave me the cutest Cherry gift!

Anyways....this card uses the NEW HOSTESS set coming up..(level 3). It is so cute, and has so many cute stamps...not just cherries!

What I did first was stamp the white cardstock with the cherries. Then, I stamped the 1 cherry on the other piece of cardstock. I masked the cherry, and then stamped the ice cream .....I also used the Liquid Applique to make the whipped cream look puffy!


Doesn't it look like whipped cream? YUM!!

Valentine's Day Treat using the Sizzix

I was in SEPHORA..yes, I braved the mall today! GOSH what a nightmare! I can't believe I almost got away with no shopping in the mall during the Holidays!

Anyways..I went to Sephora, and saw this cute little treat...picked it up and thought, I can do this!!! lol

Of course, it wasn't for Valentine's...it was for Christmas!

As I was driving home, I thought I might be able to use the bottoms of the basket die. So, I cut 2 of them, and punched a hole in the center of one of them.

I cut a piece of Acetate, 6 1/4" x 5" tall

ACETATE SHEETS are available at http://www.kellypaper.com/ They are cover weight sheets for reports. (8 1/2 x 11)

I placed a piece of sticky tape on one side (5" long) The piece will make a cylinder approx 6" in circumference. (I did not ask my daughter for the information...! but, if you have a math whiz, you might get a better measurement) The cylinder will flex as you place the top/bottom on.

Bend the bottom so it will fold over the edges of the tube.

I cut a strip of cardstock 1" x 6 1/4". It just barely fits with NO overlap. I used the scallop border punch, and then sticky tape along the edge (non scalloped edge)
If you find it easier, make it overlap and cut your strip 6 1/2" instead

Wrap it around

Voila! one side done.

repeat with the other side, but make sure you place the ribbon through the holes as shown.

Stamp and punch this out and the hole in the center and place it over the top.

Like this!

I punched out hearts from the designer papers, and they got washed out over the m&m's...but, think of the possibilities!!!

This is all held together with STICKY tape, since it needs to be strong. You will have to rip the packaging apart to remove the candy :( but it was the strongest way to hold it...
