Modern Medley Pop 'n Cuts Christmas Card

I got out my Pop 'n Cuts dies and created this lovely Christmas card.

 I cased the front image of this card from someone on the internet.  I think it was from Sandi MacIver but not sure, sorry.

I discovered that you don't have to use the Pop 'n Cuts base to make a card with the Pop 'n Cuts inside.  I cut a piece of cardstock 11 x 4-1/4 for the base.  Then cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the inside at 4 x 5" and run it through the Big Shot with the Labels Insert and the Pop 'n Cuts base.  Way too cool and the Gold Foil paper goes really well with the Modern Medley DSP and Real Red ink.
To do the image for the front you stamp the image from Thoughts and Prayers upside down in Old Olive.  Then stamp the ornament stamp from Christmas Collectibles in Real Red and punch it with the co-ordinating Christmas Ornament punch.  That is popped up on dimensionals and a Basic Rhinestone is put in the center. I punched a scrap of Gold Foil paper with the Christmas Ornament punch and put it on the top of the ornament to finish it off. The sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.
Inside I used the sentiment stamp from Evergreen and stamped it in Real Red.  It is cut out with the Deco Labels Framelits die.

Pop 'n Cuts Flower Shop Card

Every month I hold a "Cool Moves" class.  These cards have something about them that folds or moves differently than a basic card and are a bit more intense to put together. 

 

I used the Envelope Liners Framelits by Stampin' Up! to make a matching envelope.

This is the inside of the card.  Don't you just LOVE the bling?

Modern Medley Designer Series Paper is used for this card, and it is the best DSP in the entire Stampin' Up! catalogue!  Every pattern is like eating mashed potatoes and gravy - comfort food!
The Pop 'n Cuts die is used for the DSP outside piece (just the base of the die, not an insert), then the black piece on the inside is done using the Pop 'n Cuts base with the Label insert.  The flowers are from the stamp set Flower Garden which you can purchase in a bundle with the matching Pansy Punch for a 15% discount!  I LOVE discounts, don't you?  The sentiment on the inside is from Really Good Greetings and it is cut out using the Deco Label Framelits which match the Label insert for the Pop 'n Cuts perfectly.  A bit of Silver Glimmer Paper (on the front and inside) finishes it all off.  Then for the final touch, I added some XL Rhinestones in the middle of the flowers on the front.

  Stamps:  Flower Shop, Really Good Greetings
  Ink:  StazOn
  Paper:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Modern Medley DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper
  Other:  Pop 'n Cuts Card Base die and Label insert, Deco Labels Framelits,  Bird Punch, Pansy Punch, XL Rhinestones

The Basic Black frame on the front of the card is cut by putting the 3rd largest Deco Label Die on a piece of Basic Black cardstock, then placing the 2nd largest  Deco Label die inside that and cutting them both at the same time with the Big Shot.  Then you use just the frame part, and the inside part is used on another project.

Hope you give these cards a try, they are spectacular.
