Happy Panda!

 Howdy!

This little guy is just so happy! Look at that smile.....precious. Meet "Happy Panda" from the High Hopes Re-Release called "Thoughts of Spring and Friends".

My card todays follows along with my personal Challenge to use my Silhouette Cameo and make a Pop Up card for the month of March. I'm using the "Scallop Circle Easel Card" svg file to create my card base that stands or "pops up". I chose papers from the Bella Blvd. "Popsicle Panda" 6x8 collection today. After stamping my card onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut him out leaving a white border. After assembling the card, I popped "Happy Panda" with some foam squares for added dimension.

The original file uses a brad to pop up the top card layer. I decided to use the sentiment called "Happy Thoughts", layered with 2 pieces of paper. This was thick enough that the top layer can still stand up.

Copics Used:

Panda: N0, N1, N6, N7, N9, R01, R20

Bamboo stalk: E42, E43, E44

Leaves: G28, YG03, YG17

Best Friends Forever!

Hello!

There is nothing cuter than a boy and his best friend.....his loyal companion! Meet "Orian And Whiskey" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! This adorable image is from the Re-Release called "Thoughts of Spring With Friends". If you've been following along this month, then you know that I've challenged myself to use my Cameo and make a pop up card. I love this little scene and it lays flat for mailing.....perfect!

This file is from the Silhouette Design Store and is called "5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Butterfly". I cut the butterfly off and added my image to where it was instead. I stamped "Orian" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image. I inked all the edges of the papers with Distress Oxide Ink in "Gathered Twigs". After assembling the pop up card, I added Yellow Stickles to the flower centres. I love the sentiment called "Best Friends" for these cuties!

Here you can see the "grid" setup. I was really easy to put together and sooooo cute!

Here's a short video showing the card and how it folds flat.

Dancing Hedgehogs!

 Happy Happy Tuesday!

Over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps the DT is celebrating the "Thoughts of Spring With Friends" re-release. I am continuing my personal challenge for March to use my Silhouette Cameo and make some sort of Pop Up card. These cuties called "Dancing Hedgehogs" are my inspiration for today's card.

My card base is a svg file called "Square Center Step Card" from the Silhouette Design Store. It folds flat for mailing so I consider it a "Pop Up"! I cut the card base out and then decorated it with papers from the Echo Park "A Perfect Autumn" 6x6 collection. Next I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured these cuties in with my Copic Sketch markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut the image out leaving a small white border. For a bit of fun, I popped these "Dancing Hedgehogs" up onto a wobble. Now when you touch it they look like they are dancing. I thought the HH sentiment called "Good Times" was perfect for these dancing critter.

Here's a video showing how the wobble works.

Copics Used:

Fur: E23, E25, E29

Feet and bellies: E00, E11, E21, E23

cheeks: R21

Bella Bear Camping!

 Happy Tuesday!

There's another Re-Release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! Lora has opened the vault and the "Thoughts Of Spring With Friends" has come out of retirement. Soooo many cuties, you just have to visit the website and take a little look see! This is the adorable "Bella Bear Camping" image! Looks like her map lead her to the right campsite! This month I've challenged myself to use my Silhouette Cameo and make some sort of pop up card. That poor machine just sits there and I seldom use it. I thought it was high time it got a little action.

To begin, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured Bella in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Then using my Brother Cut N Scan I cut out the image leaving a small white border. Next using a "Pop Up Hexagon Tent sag file, I set about cutting out all the parts to the card. This file is really easy to assemble and looks so cute with Bella in front of it. I thought the HH sentiment called "New Adventure" was perfect and added it to an inked edge cloud die cut.

Here's a side view where you can see the different layers pop into slits. I've used designer papers from the Doodlebug "Land That I Love" and "Puppy Love" 6x6 collections. The card folds flat for mailing and fits with my theme this month of Pop Up cards.

Here's a short video showing the card in action.

This pictures shows the card laying flat, perfect for mailing.

Copics Used:

Bear: E51, E53, E55, E57, E59, E49/ R00, R01, R21, R22
