You’re A Hoot!

Hi everyone,

As promised yesterday I am back today with another card for Karen Burniston’s Designer Challenge, the theme for October is CLEAR CREATIONS (aka Defying Gravity).

I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to create an Accordion Dies or Pop N Cuts dies for the challenge this time round … so I used both and made two cards. If you missed my accordion card that I created and posted on my blog yesterday scroll down to the next post.

As I mentioned above …. I wanted to create a Pop N Cuts card for this challenge and as I had the new dies from Karen Burniston's new Snippets Collection which was released by Sizzix earlier in the month of course I had to play with some of these dies.

To start of I used the Sizzix Pop N Cuts Square Card with Ornate Edge and also the new Sizzix Pop N Cuts Sassy Labels Insert to die cut the inside piece using acetate. I then used the new Sassy Embossing Folder from the Sizzix Sassy & Circle Labels Set, to emboss over the label pop up portion and the back of the acetate. You can see a close up of this in the photo above. I love the fun edge it gives to the sassy label pop up piece and the background too.

The acetate Pop N Cuts piece was then attached to the blue outer card which was also die cut using the Sizzix Pop N Cuts Square Card with Ornate Edge.

I decorated the inside of my card using the Sizzix Chevron Border Sizzlits at the top of my card.

At the bottom I used one of the borders from the Sizzix Banners & Borders Thinlits set.

The sentiment was stamped onto card cut using the Sizzix Sassy Labels & Stitched Frames Framelits set. Love how the stitching can be optional when using these dies.

And of course on the pop up panel I added an owl from Art Impressions.

Here is the front of my card. I have again used the border that I used on the inside on my designer paper panel which is from the Sizzix Banners & Borders Thinlits set.

I also used the Sizzix Labels & Stitched Frames Framelits set again for my sentiment.

If you are looking to purchase Karen’s Sizzix Pop N Cuts in Australia you can find them at Photo Continental.
