Here is a quick video to see my card in action

 

For my card today, I used the Fishing Boat Add-ons die set with the Boat Pop-up die set to create this fun pop-up card. Inside the boat is a man with his fishing rod and a pail with his catch in it.

I added the sentiment which is from the Fishing Sentiments Clear Stamp set. I stamped two of the sentiments onto white card and then used one of the banners from the Banners Crosshatch die set to die cut it out. I added this to the top left hand corner. I added a smaller banner to the right side, for a place to write a message. I postioned this banner so that the fish on the patterned paper weren't covered up.

The fisherman inside the boat was created using the Paper People die set. This includes a die that cuts out the body of a person and then lots of accessories to add hair, beard, clothes etc.

I kept the front of my card simple, seeing the focus is on the inside of the card. I added a small panel of the patterned paper I used on the inside to the right side of the card. I used the Circles Crosshatch die set to add the layers on the left side. I added another sentiment from the Fishing Sentiments stamp set and then added the fishing rod and fish.

Well that's about it from me today, thank you for dropping by. To continue on the blog hop, click on the next person on the list, which is Jennifer Webster

For my card today I decided to create a Christmas card using the new Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-ons which works with the Snowman Pop-up die set.

First up I created my card base which is 5 inches square. I added snowflake pattern digital papers that I found on Etsy. I created the penguin using the two dies mentioned above and also added two candy canes to the penguins wing which are from the Christmas Borders 2 die set.

I used the new Merry Christmas Lorna Labels Add-ons die set to add the Christmas Sentiment at the bottom right hand side of my card. This die set also includes snowflakes which I added to the sentiment.

I also added a blank label to the top right hand side of my card which is from the Lorna Labels Pop-up die set. This is a place to write a personal greeting.

For the front of my card I used the postage frame from the new Postage Pop-up die set. I die cut the frame from dark blue cardstock snd then the panels from white and sponged each of the panels using Suede Blue Catherine Pooler Ink.

I decorated two of the panels using sentiments from the Seasons of Cheer stamp set which is also being released today.

I aded the penguin using the Winter Animals die set and also added another snowflake from the Merry Christmas Lorna Labels Add-ons die set.

To finish off the front of the card, I added the candy canes to the postage frame.

Before I get onto my card I created, I want to apologise for the lack of photos in this post. I was unexpectedly admitted to hospital last Monday and I am still there, so I am having to write my post on my iPad from my hospital bed … the other photos being on my computer at home. When I finally get home I will edit this post to add them.

I just love this new release and can’t wait to get to play with all the new dies. For my card today I have used 4 of the new die sets and 2 of the new stamp sets. 

I created a 5 x 7 card. For the pop up portion of my card I used the Just a Note Lorna Labels Add On along with Lorna Labels Pop Up die set. I then added the Piano Keys Pop Up die, adding it to the rectangle base of the Lorna Label Pop Up. I love that the Piano Keys Pop Up can be added to a number of other previously released pop up die sets.

I used the labels from the Lorna Labels die set for the stamped sentiments on the base of my card. For the sentiment I used stamps from both the Music Sentiments & Birthday Belated Sentiments stamp sets.

To finish off the inside of the card I added music notes from both the Piano Keys Pop Up & the Music Charms die sets.

For the front of the card I used the Happy Birthday Lorna Labels Add-ons die set with the Lorna Labels die set to create the Happy Birthday Label. I used the Grand Piano, Treble Clef, Music Notes & Staff to decorate the front of the

For my card today I pulled out the Lorna Label Pop-up die set to create a Double Lorna Pop-up. The Lorna Label Pop-up is a re-release of a die set when Karen was designing for another company, rather than the pop-up having to be die cut into the card, this time round it is a glue in pop-up. I was pretty excited when I heard it was coming back. One of the things I used to do using this pop-up die was to create a "double" pop-up, so that was one of the first things I tried when I got my dies for this release. 

To create the double pop-up using the Lorna Label die, fold your card in half and then position the die so it is lined up with the score line closest to the bottom of the flat portion of the label. You insert it into the card, the same way you would a single pop-up but of course you have a label at each side. I turned my card so it was in landscape style, but it works equally well in portrait style.

To decorate my card, I used the sand die from the Nature Edges die set to add sand along the bottom of the card. I added the palm trees from the Beach Bar Tiny House Add-ons die set. 

The flamingo floaty, floaty, snorkel and flippers are from the Tiny Accessories 4 die set. I used the monkey from the Monkey & Lion die set to add to the floaty.

For the sentiment, I added the "Hello" from the Word Set 6 - Summer die set. I added the stamped "waving" which is from an older stamp set.

My card measures just under 6 inches wide by 5 inches high.

For the front of the card, I added the sand using the Nature Edges die set. I also added two more palm trees.

The umbrella, sun and surfboard are all from the new Beach Elements die set.

I also added another monkey and the snorkel, mask and flippers from the Tiny Accessories 4 die set.
