Purple Onion Stamps 'Pop It Ups' House Card

 I received some 'happy post' at the weekend - a package of stamps (and some other lovely crafting goodies!) from Michele at Purple Onion Designs, whose design team I'm now on.
I love the 'Home Sweet Home' set by Stephanie Ackerman, and this card kind of made itself - I instantly pictured the stamps teamed with patterned paper and Karen Burniston's new Pop it Ups 'Lots of Pops' Pop -up die.

Michele was so sweet, and sent me lots of goodies for making things sparkle, plus I got to choose some of her wonderful stamps. Purple Onion Design has just recently got a new website - well worth a look!!

I like how with Karen Burniston's new Pop-up card dies, you get to choose where abouts on the card you have the pop-up part, and how big you want the card... on this one I positioned the pop-up mechanism to one side, to allow room for my sun and clouds.

I used the two side tabs cut with the die, to attach the tree and fence to.

I drew by hand the top yellow scalloped edge, to match with the stamps.

For the sentiment I used another Purple Onion stamp set, 'Hopscotch Sentiments', and put it in some label dies from Karen's 'Katie Label Pivot Card' set.

I made a simple card front using some 'Majestic' Framelits and more Purple Onion stamps.
