Pop it Ups Wednesday with Sandy – Snap

August 17, 2016

Hi and welcome, it’s Sandy Diller here today.  We recently returned from a wonderful trip to Europe where we took lots of photos.  We visited so many beautiful places and noticed other people taking photos as well.  Some were serious photographers and some were so funny as they posed for their selfies.  Jinks the Monkey is joining the rest of the tourists today and snapping a selfie.

April 27, 2016

Hi friends, it’s Caz here for another Pop it up Wednesday, and today’s project is something a little different for me, but something I really enjoyed creating.

A Hoppy Little Birthday Card By Kelly!

April 15, 2016

Hi Kelly Booth here, I’ve recently been inspired by all the Springtime flowers popping up all over and so I decided to make a birthday card using some colorful flowers using the tiny flower from the Fence Pop Stand die set, Lucky the Rabbit and the Hanging Charm Pull Tab die set. I also used some paper from Through The Lens – Wood , the Flower Stage It Stencil , Lucky Birthday clear stamps and the Stitched Rectangles die set.

Hi everyone,

It’s Frances here with today’s project. St. Patrick’s Day is less than two weeks away, so I thought I might be fun to create something with this theme this time. My project today can be either a card or a decoration, whichever you wish. As you can see, my project features Jinks the Monkey and the new Fitted Frames 4 – Curvy Ovals, both of which are lots of fun to create with.
