For my card today I decided to use the new Gazebo Stage Add-ons & Little Bench Pop-up die sets along with the Stage Pop-up die set to create this fun Christmas project which can be both a card and an ornament.

To decorate my card, I added Christmas trees on the front using the larger tree in the Winter Charms die set. I also added another tree on the gazebo which is from the Evergreen Pivot Panels Pop-up die set. 

Of course I need a Santa, so I pulled out the Gnome & Santa die set for that, adding it just in front of the little bench on the gazebo.

The holly on the. roof is from Fireplace Extras 1 die set, and the Christmas lights on the front are from the Christmas Borders 1 die set.

Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope. I measures approximated 6 1/4 inches x 7 1/2 inches. I am showing it with the stage base under the railing, but you could also fold it so the base is in the centre which will mean it would be 6 1/4 x 5 3/4. 

I added a sentiment to the gazebo roof which is from the Christmas Wishes Clear Stamp set. I also added one under the base, which is where you can also write your message, this stamp is from the Season of Cheer Clear Stamp set.

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 play with the new Photo Display Pop-up die set, rather than use photos on the pop up I decided to use Alphabet dies to spell out Happy BDay .... there would be many different occasions you could spell out using this die. I also love how easy it is to use this pop up.

I had a blank space at the side of the back pop up, so I add the hot air balloon from the Love is in the Air Charms set which is also a new die from this release.

To decorate the card I added two hot air balloons, using the new Hot Air Balloon die set. I wanted this card to have a masculine feel. I also added some grass along the bottom edge of my card, using the Nature Edges die set.

For the front of the card, I again used the Hot Air Balloons die set to add more hot air balloons to my card. I added two sentiments, one from the Love Notes Clear Stamp set and the other from the Stage Scenes Clear Stamp set. I used one of the labels from the Greeting Labels die set to die cut the sentiments.

For my card, I used the new Playful Pop-up die set along with the Dog and Cat Playful Add-ons die set. I just love that adorable puppy! 

This die set can be used on a standard A2 card, but I prefer bigger sizes, so I created a 5 x 7 card.

To decorate my card I added used the new Woof! die set and Dog Borders to add the dog bowls complete with food and bones.

As the focus of this card is on the inside, I kept the front of my card fairly simple. I added the two patterned papers I used on the inside to the front of the card. I then added the bone border along the edge that the two papers meet.

I used the new Dog Sentiments and the Greetings Labels die set to add the birthday sentiment. To finish off the card, I added the two paw prints which are from the Woof! die set.

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.
