Horsey Pop n Cuts Card.


 I made this card for my darling daughter who is doing two week's work experience in Natural Horsemanship near Winchester which is way down south.
The stamp is not Stampin up but I love it!
She loves pink so I had to use Melon Mambo teamed with Lucky limeade and Midnight Muse.
I used some retired paper.

 The sentiment stamps are both Hero Arts - another favourite company of mine!


I used the Creative Memories Hearts Border Punch along the bottom and top of the inside.
I love this Border Punch. I hope that they re stock it as it is a very well made piece of kit!

The sentiment on the inside of the second card matches the Teeny Tiny Wishes " Happy Birthday wishes" on the front of the card.

 I am holding a Pop Up Card Workshop at my house tonight.
We are doing four Pop Up Cards one of which is the one on the left above.
I really enjoyed making these cards. I really like the Wood grain Embossing Folder.


 This is the inside of the one that the ladies will be doing tonight.
I got the idea from the internet HERE
I changed it a bit to make it my own but I am grateful to Darlene for inspiring me!

Above is the more complicated version.

Pop n Cuts Die.

 My dear husband gave me a Pop n Cuts Base Plate and insert for our Wedding Anniversary which was on Sunday. As it is the Easter holidays I have only just got around to play with it!
I know that I am going to have a lot of fun with this die.


 I love the way that the centre pops right out at you when you open it.
You can use the Base Plate with Movers and Shapers Dies. They will be my next investment!
There is lots of opportunity for variations when preparing the inside edge of the insert card.
Above I have used Stampin Up's  Scallop Trim Corner Punch.


 I just had to die cut a Pin Wheel to go with the Patio Party Paper. I was glad to dig out my Cup Cake Punch and matching stamp set again after it has spent most of the last year in the Cupboard.

Simple decoration on the inside of this card.
If you would like to come and join us I am running a Pop Up Card Workshop at my house on Thursday, April 11th at 7.30pm.
