I thought I'd try my hand at an evening art class and discovered not only do I enjoy it but I can make a reasonable attempt when putting paint/pencil to paper.<br />

This one is stamped with Karen's Lucky the Rabbit stamps set.<br />

The card I used is from <a href="http://www.payperbox.co.uk/" target="_blank">payperbox</a> and is really fantastic quality at a great price. Perfect for card making as they make colour co-coordinating card. I had the pleasure of meeting Jon the director of the company at the craft show in Birmingham.<br />

Hello and welcome to October! This year is truely flying by too fast. So this months challenge is one I really enjoyed. Karen challenged us to 'Characters in Costume' something I love to do. I chose Chilly the penguin for this challenge and created this very cute snow-penguin.</div>

I used the carrot from Karens new 'lucky the rabbit' die set which is coming soon to elizabeth craft designs. The cute christmassy hat is from the Karens merry and bright pop it up props set #5.<br />
<br />
Have you seen the new stamp sets you can also get now on elizabeth craft designs? I stamped Karens 'marry christmas' with the 'and a happy new year' on Karens tags from the tags pivot dies set and pegged them to my card. The candy cane that is included in Jolly the mouse die set is an excellent accessory for the frosty all seasons tree.<br />

I had some very happy post last week which included the new landscape accordion die by <a href="http://karenburniston.typepad.com/i_am_not_lefthanded/" target="_blank">Karen burniston</a>.<br />

I chose to use it to create this portrait christmasy tent card. I cut
out the centre of the card as I did in my easel card which was featured
on the Elizabeth craft Designs <a href="http://blog.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/2015/09/pop-it-ups-wednesday-with-donna-birthday-easel-card/" target="_blank">blog</a>. I then added the holiday house, the evergreen edge and the pine trees from the evergreen pivot card on each of the folds to create the 3D effect.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0Gsd5EJpqeeJUGBCUB8FX0w0aJgamBj5L_CACIOkXvvl6hyhCUWilYooTph59Pd1sBMGVGZnJUlFue2gqW6Y3a5RhoLLOsOnw2lpZp_LEHjqFlOCW-UbPdngPRmcb57AdY2eKEjl_bjS/s1600/emma+quilt+top+flat.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0Gsd5EJpqeeJUGBCUB8FX0w0aJgamBj5L_CACIOkXvvl6hyhCUWilYooTph59Pd1sBMGVGZnJUlFue2gqW6Y3a5RhoLLOsOnw2lpZp_LEHjqFlOCW-UbPdngPRmcb57AdY2eKEjl_bjS/s320/emma+quilt+top+flat.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />For this english paper piece quilt I used sizzix 2 1/4 inch hexagon die to cut out about 400 pieces of card. I cut the fabric into squares bigger than the hexagon as I didn't have a bigger hexagon die. I loosely tacked the fabric to the hexagons and ironed them all. (you don't have to iron them but I found they kepted their shape better for sewing) I then arranged them into different colour flowers and hand stitching them together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgGa38Me2X4CiaRgnpVmyUbcsvYz5iLvHuvxtNKYbQS6PNbYCE6cz4UmpyzHp0ejMgidG7yHpHdifHIneGuRT3xxz3Wo_BhbhyoCZpb7q91doW96AdDlZ6bydSCIgVmwOEFJDNPCAOtSnI/s1600/emma+quilt+top+on+chair.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgGa38Me2X4CiaRgnpVmyUbcsvYz5iLvHuvxtNKYbQS6PNbYCE6cz4UmpyzHp0ejMgidG7yHpHdifHIneGuRT3xxz3Wo_BhbhyoCZpb7q91doW96AdDlZ6bydSCIgVmwOEFJDNPCAOtSnI/s320/emma+quilt+top+on+chair.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the edge of the underside of the quilt I followed <a href="http://badskirt.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/tutorial-finishing-you-hexie-quilts.html" target="_blank">badskirts</a> tutorial.<br />

<br />
This month Karen challenged us to make a card inspired by another design team member. This was such a tough choice as every one of the team members are so talented. I was scrolling through everyones blog post when I saw Karens exploding minion card tutorial and knew that was the one for me.<br />
<br />
I made this card for my dad who love minions and can offically retired this year at the tender age of 65. I followed Karens tutorial for this minion, you can find the tutorial <a href="http://karenburniston.typepad.com/i_am_not_lefthanded/2015/06/chilly-hoppy-become-a-minion-explosion-birthday-card.html" target="_blank">here. </a><br />
I also added hair to this minion using whiskers from Karens cat die set and use the chilly the penguins feet as hands. <br />

<br />
I experimented with different dies from the Elizabeth craft range for the minion inside the card and found that the spot dies from the rubber ducky fit perfectly as eyes. The minions feet were made by die cutting black cardstock from the spade in the wheelbarrow set and snipping the pole and handle off. <br />

<br />
I followed Karens <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5P0ebNYWrw" target="_blank">instructions</a> for the inside of my exploding card and used a strip of acetate sheet to suspend the balloon for the props 2 set so that when the card is open the balloon looks like it is floating.<br />

<br /></div>
Hello and Merry christmas, well merry christmas in 165 sleeps!<br />
<br />
This months challenge was to create a holiday card with a country
feel, using any Pop it Ups dies including (but not limited to) the brand
new Farm 2 and Merry & Bright.<br />
<br />
I chose to go big and created a 12 inch wide pop up card using the new christmas tree pop stand set and the holiday house. I lined up the trees and house dies and marked where I should cut the stands.<br />
To make the card and die fit through the sizzix bigshot I trimmed 2 inches off the edge parallel to the fold.<br />

The new tree dies are fab and I love the new co-ordinating stamp set. They also sit perfectly with the evergreen pivot die set and the holiday house.<br />

<br />
This month Karen Burniston challenged her designers to use dies that begin with the first letter of our forename and surname. I had already decided I was going to use the dog die but was struggling for inspiration into how to make it different.<br />

This months challenge was to use Karens new barn die in a creative way. As a friend has just had a baby I chose to make the barn into a baby cot/crib.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To make the crib I cut two 8cm x 4cm acetate rectangles, two 8cm x 2 cm pink card rectangles, 8 white card barn door fronts and four barn door runner strips. I cut two of the barn door runner strips in half to use as 'legs' for the crib.<br />

I folded the other two barn door runner strips in to thirds lenghways along the cut lines to create the top of the crib.<br />

When I recieved my latest set of dies from Elizabeth craft designs I also recieve some super cute peel offs and was able to use some of the baby set for this card. I coloured the pram with my promarker pens and added some pearls on the carriage. <br />

This monkey holding balloons was also on the baby peel off set from elizabeth craft designs and I again coloured it using my promarker pens. I love layering up the cursive word dies you can get from Elizabeth craft designs to give them a shadowed look as I have with the it's a girl on the front of this card.<br />

I chose the wonderfully talented <a href="http://www.sandydiller.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sandy Diller</a> to be my partner. The brief this month was to choose an accordion die and get creative. Between us and our guests we'll have 21
albums for the post!<br />
<br />
Sandy and I chose the star accordion die for our cards and I went for a new baby theme.<br />

I receive the cute peel offs from Elizabeth craft designs and knew they would be perfect for this card. I find colouring very theraputic and had great fun colouring them with my fab set of promarkers<br />

This months challenge was to Make 'em Laugh! with a Funny card for any theme. It was our chance to
use all those funny stamps we have, or make up our own greeting.<br />
<br />
I chose to make my card using the rectangle pull card and whiskers the cat in this fun 'crazy cat lady starter kit' ensemble.<br />

I hope you mums have been thoroughly spoilt again this year.<br />
<br />
I recently bought Susan Tierney-Cockburns mini daffodil die set from Elizabeth craft designs and thought I'd have a little play with it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvk7eipWvDEgva0DluQnEA2FIq23AyEGUuaqHFBYNcCv7FeelH1si7JyogA5O96wOFYrmcloLGH0JO1PESMBQucsKZQP9Ye2U9JEO-m2Rl1XZWPfzz7C7mKEP-eiZtMXr5IyIez3Cqi2bh/s1600/mini+daff+in+hand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvk7eipWvDEgva0DluQnEA2FIq23AyEGUuaqHFBYNcCv7FeelH1si7JyogA5O96wOFYrmcloLGH0JO1PESMBQucsKZQP9Ye2U9JEO-m2Rl1XZWPfzz7C7mKEP-eiZtMXr5IyIez3Cqi2bh/s1600/mini+daff+in+hand.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
So then I thought how can a send a few to my mum without them getting lost or crushed by the heavy handed woman in the post office. After much rummaging through my craft cupboard I remember my hubby had bought me a paper box maker for christmas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To accessories my mini box I used serveral dies that come with different sets by Karen Burnstions. the mini love hearts come with her Katie label accordion set. the Arrow and stamp die are part of the tags die set<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The purple swirl you can see in the picture below also comes as a die with the tags set.....<br />

.......and the butterfly is part of the butterfly pivot set. I used a extra sticky (but quite stringy) clear liquid glue to stick all the pieces in place.<br />

When we moved there my parents promised us we would not have to move again and that it was 'our home'. So we name it just that but we decided it would sound so much better in dutch.<br />

I recently received some fabulous peel offs from Elizabeth craft
designs and these sunflowers were among them. I used my alcohol
colouring pens with Els’ double sided adhesive and microfine glitter
technique to achieve this ultra-shimmery finish peel offs. You can view
the video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Fp7GgH0L4">here</a>.<br />

I have to admit I struggled with this one as I was a little unsure what passed as artsy. but my crafty friend <a href="http://diningroomdrawers.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Helen</a> over at dining room drawers told me to look at <a href="http://shellyhickox.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">shelly</a>'s work and I couldn't go wrong.<br />
<br />
So here is my artsy attempt, I again used the new rectangle accordion die and as you can see the same paper as the cutesy card but I sponge inked the edges of the card to give it an aged look.<br />

It's Karen Burniston design team challenge time again and I'm very excited to share with you some of her newest dies. This months challenge was to<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 21.466667175293px;"> include dies from 3 (or more) categories in the Pop it Ups line - those categories are: Accordions & Frame Edges, Pivot Cards, General Pop-ups, Pull Cards, Pop Stands, Edge dies, Characters & Props, Embossing Folders, Accessory Dies.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 21.466667175293px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 21.466667175293px;">January also happens to be the month my mum was born so I chose to design the challenge card for her birthday. She loves the owl and the pussy cat poem by Edward Leary and Karen's new cat die goes perfectly with her existing owl die. The first part of the poem reads;</span></span><br />

On the left you can see the bucket from Karen's new props #3 set with 'coins' in. I made the coins from shimmer sheetz using the bubbles die which comes with Karen's new bathtub stand up die set. On the right is the honey pot from the honey the bear set. The new bathtub makes a beautiful pea-green boat floating in the sea made from Karen's new beach edges die set.</div>
