Here are my attempts these using Stampin Up designer 12 x12 papers

Now for Valentines Day

You are never too old for romance, here is a card I have made using the Pop Up Box idea which was shared by my Stampin Up up line manager Monica Gale. I am hooked on this style of card as you can fold it down flat for posting in the mail. This is my Valentines Day contribution.

I used black cardstock for the box and decorated it with Stampin Up Designer Papers More Amore which I purchased and downloaded via their M.D.S system.

In the Box :

I used  Red cardstock and the Stampin Up framelit hearts die set and the Stampin Up  Heart to Heart Punch was used to make the heart flowers.  I used  Stickles  Xmas red to give them a bit of bling. 

Leaves were cut from green cardstock using the leaf from theStampin Up Bird Builder Punch and Spellbinders Shapeabilities Foliage dies.

The Owl was made using the Stampin Up Owl Punch.

 Decoration on the fold down sides: Memory Box Die Sofia Heart 

 Decoration on the front fold down : Stampin Up  Artisan Label Punch stamped with sentiment from Stampin Up Love  You More stamp set. and of course a bit of bling using Stickles Star Dust.

Well A Belated Happy New Year Too You All

I have got my crafting mojo back, it is awful when you lose it!!!

I would like to share with you my latest cards I have been making.

Over the past few weeks I  have been interested in the brayering and sponging techniques that I have seen on the web. So I thought I would have a try at doing a few myself.

 Here  are some of my attempts which  I think will be great to use for masculine.
