Here is one last card from my pop up class. This has a pop up inside that uses the Bigz XL pop up cake die.

The main image is stamped and then sponged using a mask to create the grass and sky.

Have a great weekend!

Today I am posting another Crazy for Cupcakes card. This is one of the cards from the Pop-up Kit we did for StampFest.

I will be showing a few more projects this week from recent stamp camps and StampFest while I do some mad cleaning and re-organizing at my house. I am trying to get caught up on all of my drudge work. My stamp room is a hot mess after hauling most of it to the Hampton Inn for our stamping weekend! I want no guilt next week, so I can play with all my neglected  goodies from the new catalog and a few more new sneak peak items from the new Holiday Mini that will be arriving mid week.

It is also convention week next week. I am not going this year, but I wanted to pamper myself with a whole week of stamping and attention to my business, my own mini convention of sorts. So, I hope to be posting some fun new stuff next week along with any news coming from convention!

Thanks for checking in!

This is another fun new set called Circle Circus. I have to admit it is not my usual style so it was a little harder for me to come up with a design. The best way to improve your design skills though, is to work outside your comfort zone. I was fairly pleased with the finished piece. It is really a fairly simple card.

I used a lot of masking and cutting. The cut images were popped up to add dimension. The saying is actually inside the card showing through a window, punched using the new Modern Label punch.
