Light a Candle for a Birthday By Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's my BIRTHDAY month so this is my second Birthday card using Poppy Stamps Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel Card Die. I just love the flowers that come with this die. They are so elegant.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite kind of birthday cake?
A: Me? Ice Cream Cake

Step #1:   I started my card by cutting the base pieces out of white cardstock.

Step #2: I used a light blue paper from the Poppy Stamps Lagoon 6x6 Paper Pad for my cake and layered them on top of the cake base piece.

Step #3: I die cut the decorative flowers and leaves out of the Poppy Stamps Rainbow Reflections 6x6 Mirror Paper Pad.

Step #4: I arranged the flowers on the cake pieces and added Poppy Stamps Bright Jewels to the centers.

Step #5: I added sentiments to my card by die cutting the Poppy Stamps Birthday Banners and adding Birthday sentiments to them.

Oink for Birthday Fun By Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing a darling Birthday Card using the Poppy Stamps Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel Die. I made for my father's birthday. He LOVES pigs and the Poppy Stamps Whittle Pig Die is my favorite animal of the Poppy Stamps Whittle Collection. This card is perfect for the Poppy Stamps August Challenge Anything Goes! I would love to have you join us! Later, this month I'll be showing off Christmas cards so it truly is ANYTHING GOES this month.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite whittle animal?
A: Me? The Pig

Step #1: I started my card by die cutting the base of the Floral Cake Pop Up Easel out of kraft paper and using the Poppy Stamps Layer Cake Drip Icing in chocolate cardstock to mimic the mud that piggies love.

Step #2: I die cut the cake pieces out of shimmery light pink paper so that the metallic pigs would pop from it.

Step #3: I mounted all the pieces together so that I had my base cake to decorate with pigs and banners. I used the Poppy Stamps Vintage Mirror 6x6 Paper Pad and die cut 3 of the Poppy Stamp Whittle Pigs in a darker shade of pink and mounted them on each layer of the cake and one on the inside.

Step #4: I added the Poppy Stamps Birthday Banners at the top of my card and bottom layer of cake
Step #5: I finished my card with the OINK inside spelled out with the Poppy Stamp Marizpan Alphabet Dies in matching chocolate cardstock.

A Sunny Hello by Birgit Norton

When inspiration hits, sometimes you just have to roll with it!  That was the case with this card when I received the Whittle Bit of Fun Kits.  The idea to make a jungle inspired cake card popped into my head and here you go!    Birgit here with you today, and here's how this card came together.

I started by cutting out the Whittle Tropical Gators and Whittle Pirate Monkey's, adding color using Distress Oxide Inks and Copic Markers, then gluing the shapes together.

Next came the card base.  I cut the Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel card out of a soft blue cardstock, assembling the easel part as seen in the photo's.

I die cut the cake layers out of a solid green cardstock from the Greenery 6x6 pad  and cut the printed layer using paper from my stash.  The cake scallops were cut out of brown cardstock, as I thought they would make good vines for the monkey's to swing on.

Next, I glued the trunks of the palm trees on first so I could add the leaves in a manner that they wouldn't hang over the bottom portion of the cake, so that it would still fit in an A2 sized envelope.   I added the water die to the bottom of the cake and glued on the toothy gator and hanging the monkey's on the vines.

Next, I cut the flowers from the Floral Cake Pop-Up set out of a scrap of soft yellow cardstock and glued them together from largest to smallest, creating the layered flowers.

Once they were glued to the cake, I added Fairy Jewels to the centers to finish my card front.

For the inside of the card, I added  the cake layers in green and white, allowing space to stamp a sentiment from the Whittle Tropical Gator Kit.  The cake's frosting details and two more whittle friends finished the inside of the card off perfectly.

These easel cards are so fun to make and even more fun to give!

Vintage Pastry Shoppe by Allison Frazier

Hello, Poppystamps friends! I am really excited to be joining the design team and posting my first project on the blog. As soon as I saw the Corner Shoppe Pop Up Easel Set, I immediately envisioned this sweet pastry shop with old world charm. With the help of several of the other die sets in this Corner Shoppe collection, I was able to achieve my vision! I do have a video on my YouTube channel showing how I made this card. You can CLICK HERE to see the video!

The first part of creating the card is cutting the large piece that functions as the easel. I cut this from white card stock and scored it on the two resulting score lines. I set this piece aside. I cut the main store front and the stripes for the awning from black card stock. I cut the scalloped base of the awning from both white and pink card stock - isn't it so cute layered like that? I cut the door window frame from pink card stock. I cut the sidewalk from white card stock and ink blended it with a couple shades of gray ink. You will notice a pink frame around the main window that is not part of the main die set. This is actually a frame from the Dessert Stand set that happens to fit the window perfectly! You may also notice a white frame around the door. I really wanted to make the door stand out from the rest of the store, so I actually created this frame using partial die cutting. The final piece from the main set is the white base that will hold the shoppe itself and then attach to the easel. I blended a little bit of yellow ink on this panel behind the windows so that it would look like the lights are on.

I cut all the pastries from white card stock and used different colors of Distress Ink to color them. These pastries came from the various die sets in this collection. I cut the cupcakes from the Dessert Stand set. I cut the little tiny cakes on the top shelf, as well as the larger pastries on the middle shelf, from the Birthday Treats set. And speaking of shelves, I got these from the Flower Pot Shelves set. For the cake and candles on the table in front of the store, I used the Birthday Celebrations set. And for that little table, I used the Dessert Stand set. I really had fun using little bits and pieces from all of these sets!

Once I had everything cut out and colored, assembly was a breeze with some liquid glue. I did assemble everything onto that white base first, and then I glued that whole assembled piece onto the scored flap of the easel card. I then created some sentiments, both of which came from the Birthday Banners stamp and die set. I stamped the "It's Cake Time" onto two separate strips with black ink and then cut the pieces apart to get the individual words. I glued these onto the door, with one of them covering what I believe is a mail slot from the main shoppe die. Maybe "Cake Time" is the name of the store? It could be a cute name, but it certainly is a cute sentiment. I also stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment onto white card stock, and then mounted this onto a larger black strip. This sentiment is glued on the inside of the card and acts as a stopper for the easel.

One last detail to add was a door handle. There is an indentation of a door handle from the main shoppe die, but it is too dark to see on black card stock. I decided that one of the dies that creates icing for a tiny cake could perhaps pass as a door handle, if turned on its side. I don't think it would keep all of those pastries safe from hungry thieves, but I do think the functionality is there - haha. The final test for this adorable card was to make sure it fit into my A2 envelope, and of course it fit beautifully! This card is ready to send to our little niece who will be turning 4 - notice the number of candles on the cake.

I am so pleased with how this card turned out. I hope it brings a smile to your face! Thank you so much for joining us today.
