New Baby Pop Up

Image
Welcome My Crafty Friends, hoping that you are all staying safe and healthy during these trying times. Today I have another Karen Burniston Surprise Pop Up Ball card for you. My card was created using Boel Ask's card which she posted March 1, 2020.   These pop up balls are addicting. Have tried several times to upload the video for this but it will not upload - sorry!  You can see it on Facebook - Karen Burniston Pop-Up Peeps page. Made 2 Surprise Pop Up Balls from flesh colored cardstock.  Karen Burniston has a great assembly video for making the ball. For the arms I drew and fussy cut from flesh colored cardstock I did single layer but another time I would double up to make them a little sturdier. For the feet I actually had cut out a baby from flesh colored cardstock then  cut the lower half attach to bottom ball. For the diaper decorative pieces were cut from white cardstock then attached around the bottom attach a small safety pin to 1 piece add that to center front of botto

Graduation Pop Ups

Hello My Crafty Friends, Hope you all are enjoying your summer. 'Tis the season - Graduation I had 3 our granddaughter graduating from college, our grandson from high school and my regional manager's daughter from high school and she was magna cum laude WOW.  I decided to make some pop up cards using Karen Burniston's Surprise Pop Up Ball along with some of her other dies.  I must give the maker of the original graduation  card acknowledgement her name is Cynthia Johnson-Dailey her card was my inspiration.  I used Karen Burniston's YouTube video for the double ball  for assembly only then created from there using picture of Cynthia's card as a guide as she did not have a tutorial.  Fun card but doing 3 at once was a bit overwhelming at times. I have video on my Facebook page but can't seem to get it from my phone to my computer. This Surprise Pop Up Ball die set is so much fun and has so many possibilities.  I have posted links below for dies I have used jus
