Twisted Pop Up Card

 Here is another new technique I decided to try out; the Twisted Pop Up Card.  There are a lot of great tutorials out there and tons on Pinterest for inspiration.  Check out this one on Kylie's Cards and Things.

I used a lot of different techniques on this card.  I stamped, colored with Copics, used my Big Kick to die cut the donuts and mini coffee cups, paper punched hearts.....what I didn't get to do was use pop up dots.  If you follow me, you will know how much I love pop up dots and put them on everything.  But due to the style of this card, I didn't think that they would fit, once I twisted it back together.

I decided to use some of my favorite things on this card, coffee and donuts!  Not to mention I used My Favorite Things stamps on it as well!

The donuts were cut out using a tiny die from Taylored Expressions and then I added some Diamond Glaze onto the frosting.  The big coffee cups were made using a few paper punches and a trimmer.  You can find templates, dies, and SVG cups for them on-line, but it was very easy just to make them by hand.

Once the card is folded and twisted to the A2 size, I made a belly band to hold it all together.  You can see it in the first picture at the top of this post.

Right now, I wish I had a donut, but it looks like it's going to start to storm again, so I  will not be venturing out!

Sprinkles Just Make Life Better

 

This is the card I made for my step-father for Father's Day.  We both LOVE donuts, and I have had this stamp set for awhile (and never used it), so I thought it would be perfect for his card.

 

I stamped, colored, and cut the donuts out.  I applied Espresso Dimensional Pearls for the frosting.  Now, I didn't have any beads or glitter for the sprinkles, so I cheated and punched some teeny tiny holes out of cardstock.  I had a lot of help with this card, and Oscar is covered in teeny tiny little dots from the cardstock because he felt the need to roll in them every time I punched them out.  I stuck them to the Espresso Dimensional Pearls, but it just didn't look shiny enough for a chocolate frosted donut.  So, I added a layer of Diamond Glaze to the top and I think it looks really good. 

 

The coffee cup stamp that comes with this set, is really cute, but chuck is not a double shot orange mochaccino with whip kind of guy.  So, I improvised with making a to-go style coffee cup.  Every thing is adhered with differing layers of pop up dots.

 

I added some letter stickers and a Whoo Hoo label to finish it off.  I really have a hankering for Dunkin Donuts right now, but, its thundering/lightening something wicked out there and it's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup, so I will forgo my donut to cheer my boys on.  Go Bruins!
