Stampin' Up! Ornament Keepsakes stamp set

click on the photo to see the details
This double pop-up card is made with the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set by Stampin' Up! This card is made with the same template as the previous card. When you pull up the message in back the center "Merry Christmas" pops up. The "Merry Christmas" stamp is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set by Stampin' Up! The stamps in that set are perfect to fit in small places.
I used Garden Green cardstock and printed paper from the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper set.

Stampin' Up! Make a Cake Pop-Up Card

http://stampwithtrude.blogspot.com Stampin' Up! birthday card by Trude Thoman Make a Cake stamp set
click on the photo to see the details
I used the Make a Cake and the One in a Million stamp sets by Stampin' Up! to make this double pop-up card.
This pop-up card looks complicated but it really isn't. I had fun making it. When you push the top card down into the pocket the message card above the cake also disappears.
I also used Soft Suede ink, Perfect Peach ink, and the polka dot embossing folder.

family reunion

Husband out flying his pirate ship kite
I haven't posted any new cards for several days because I was playing at the beach. Well, most of the time I was having fun visiting and laughing with my cousins, aunts, uncles, parents and siblings. The beach wasn't as fun this week as it was last week because the wind was too strong. When we went down to the beach for a walk we got sand blasted!

Giant paper cupcakes


http://stampwithtrude.blogspot.com
Aren't these cupcakes cute?! We were at a baby dedication and someone had made these to use as decorations, along with the pots of giant paper flowers in the background.
I think I was told this was an idea from the internet...possibly Martha Stewart, I'm not sure. I just think they turned out very cute.
The base is accordion folded paper covering a cottage cheese carton. The top is made with punched paper circles covering 1/2 a sphere of Styrofoam.
