Party Pop-Up Thinlits

Sea Street Pop-Up Party

A super happy birthday would be coming your way with this adorable gift set.  I suppose it might be more inclined towards a child, but I have a great appreciation for cuteness, and this is definitely cute.

I started out with the idea of this octopus holding eight balloons.  I suppose I should have used the bitty balloon punch, but I stayed with it.  Perhaps I will make it again to see how it would look.  I thought the small balloons would get lost in the fun background paper.

The inside framelit action really makes a statement.  Even though it is in the middle, there is still plenty of room to write a personal message.  I do love the motion of the popup.  I had a large piece of paper left from the card background and went with a matching gift bag. If you are giving a birthday card, odds are you are giving a gift too.  Making a set is always my favorite thing.  It also helps me be brave and use up my designer series paper.  You can’t hang onto that too long you know.

Celebrate Today

My computer went on a two day holiday, without permission I might add.  This little treasure has been waiting for you to see for three days now.  Oh well, here it is.

This pop-up framelit is just the best.  I do love the balloons, but opening and closing this card is just too fun.  Nothing says happy like a traditional birthday card.  You can actually see a bit of the shimmer cardstock below, it really is so sparkly.

Since I have had some computer frustration lately, I am really not in the mood to sit here and explain all of the details in this particular project.  Sorry, but there you go.

How fun is it to get a birthday card in the mail, right?  Well, when one as bright and festive as this one shows up, it is bound to bring a smile to your face.  And that is why people like me enjoy making cards, to share smiles.

This particular birthday suite is full of fun product and it can be difficult to decide just what to include.  I haven’t used this embossing folder yet, so that is what I really wanted to show off.  Shimmer white cardstock really helps show off the detail of this fun folder.  The photos don’t do the paper justice, but it has the most delicate shimmer, I love it.

I used the framelit for a center image instead of the pop-up feature it has.  I will be sharing that one shortly.  I have several cards and a coordinating gift bag in the works, so, one day at a time for this tiny series.  I ‘painted’ the candles with the wink of stella pens, white and gold both.  I also added four tiny bands of gold along the stem of the stand.  The brush is so precise I didn’t even get angry at my lines.  Nice, right?

I added an extra layer inside to use some of the pretty paper stack.  It all goes together so nicely I couldn’t help myself.  I do think that melon mambo is my favorite color choice in this particular product suite.  Such a bright and cheery color.

Hip Hip Hooray for Today!

What kind of fun events do you get excited for?  There are so many special days to celebrate it is hard to choose just one.  For me?  Well, today is all about celebrating the special meeting of my future daughter-in-law.  I have to admit, there is a bit of nervous energy going on there, more than I am aware of I am sure.  But still, what a wonderful day to celebrate.

I am in love with this tiny little balloon punch.  It has two friends, a tiny cupcake and a tiny candle, but I can’t get past the balloon.  I have a thing with tiny things and this fits the bill perfectly.  They are just big enough to fit a dimensional behind so they get to look like they really are floating.  And if you use your bone folder across the linen thread it will curl just a bit.  It makes me smile.

The framelit is from a set two piece set that makes pop up card centers.  I trimmed the sides to give me this huge tag.  It was very difficult to throw out the inside cut pieces.  They were perfect!  I played with them, told myself to throw them in the bin, I did, then I got them back out, played again and tossed them again.  Seriously, get a grip.
