Pumpkin Pie and Teapot Pop-Up Platform Card

I thought I'd try something different for my November gift boxes, so I made pumpkin pie slices with eight of them making a whole pie.  This uses "Cake Slice Box" and "Cake Slice Box Add-On" from Lawn Fawn.


Next, I made a pop-up card for a friend who's turning 94.  She loves tea and orange is her favorite color.  The Happy Birthday sentiment die is from Impression Obsession's "Greetings Top Edgers" set.   All other dies are Lawn Fawn: "Platform Pop-Up," "Stitched Teapot," and "Stitched Teacup."

Autumn Birthdays and Jack-o-Lantern Boxes

 I joined the Lawn Fawn Addicts' Birthday Card Exchange, and sent my first cards in October.  My first card used the "Full Moon" die set along with the "Simple Stitched Tree Border."  I made the bats' wings out of felt.  The party hat is from the "Stitched Cupcake" die set.



For the cards arriving after Halloween, I used the "Giant Happy Birthday to You" die, along with the "Fall Leaves Background" stencils, and the "Stitched Rectangle Frame" die.


Lastly, I used the new "Tiny Gift Box: Jack-O-Lantern Add On" to make a bunch of jack-o-lanterns for friends and family.

Raccoon Tiny Gift Box and Piano Box Card

 I decided to make the Raccoon Tiny Gift Box for my friends for September.  One friend had a September birthday, so I added a party hat from Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Cupcake" die set.

Next, I found a die set on Amazon, so I'm assuming it's a "knock off" since no brand name is on it.  It made an adorable, little piano.  The dies were very detailed, and I had to run them through my die cut machine several times, but the end result was very satisfying.

Unicorn, Ladybug and Bee Boxes


 I just realized I had not posted some of the other Tiny Gift Boxes I made this year.  All are Add-Ons from Lawn Fawn.





Birthday Moose and Dog Boxes

 I wanted to use the Pop-Up Platform die again - this time for my nephew's birthday.

The moose is "Merry Moose" from Tim Holtz by Sizzix.  The trees are from "Moose & Trees" by Cottage Cutz.  The Happy Birthday die is  from Impression Obsession's "Greetings Top Edgers" set.  The platform, all the stamped sentiments, and the patterned paper are all from Lawn Fawn.

Then, it was time to make a new batch of Tiny Gift Boxes with the Dog Add-On from Lawn Fawn.  It was fun with all the variations the dogs can have.

Floral Platform Pop-Ups

 I'm starting to get the hang of these platform pop-ups now.  There's definitely a trick to the spacing and height of all the decorations.


The first two cards used the platform die along with the stitched ribbon and bow that are included in the set from Lawn Fawn.  The Happy Birthday is from Impression Obsession's "Greetings Top Edgers" set.  The "HUGS" is from My Favorite Things.  The flowers and leaves are from Spellbinders' "Be Bold Blooms" and from "Stitched Blooms" from My Favorite Things.

The last card is mostly the same as the previous two except for the flowers and leaves which are from "Tropical Bouquets" by Honey Bee Stamps.

First Platform Pop-Up

Lawn Fawn came out with a new interactive die earlier this year that's been incredibly popular.  Of course I had to get it, and this is my first attempt at one.  I made it for my niece's birthday.

I used the dies from the "Pop-Up Platform" set to create the platform and to decorate it with the ribbon and bow across the front.  I spelled out HAPPY with "Henry's ABCs," and the 55 in the background is from "Henry's 123s."  All the dies along with the papers are from Lawn Fawn, except for the BIRTHDAY die which is from My Favorite Things "Blueprints 26" set.

Mother's Day and Butterfly Boxes

 I used some new dies from Lawn Fawn to make a Mother's Day card for my niece.



The card was made with "Giant Happy Mother's Day" and "Spring Flowers Backdrop" dies.

I made a slight detour this month and didn't make a Tiny Gift Box.  This time I made the Butterfly Treat Box, which was also a hit with all my friends.


Bunny boxes and Easter Card

Every month my card-playing friends look forward to receiving a tiny gift box.  For April I used the "Tiny Gift Box Bunny Add-On" from Lawn Fawn.

I also made an Easter card that will go to my niece.

The outer frame is "Meadow Backdrop: Landscape," and the basket, bunny and eggs are all from "Build-A-Basket: Easter" by Lawn Fawn.  Most of the patterned paper is also from Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment is Easter Greeting set by L'il Inker Designs.

Frogs, clover and strawberries

 I created some Irish frogs for friends and family.  All dies are from Lawn Fawn - "Tiny Gift Box" and "Tiny Gift Box Frog Add-On."  The little hat is from Lawn Fawn's "Holiday Hats Add-On" for the Tiny Gift Box.


Next, I made a St. Patrick's Day card for a couple of friends.


The striped paper is from Lawn Fawn's latest collection, "Flower Market."  Also from Lawn Fawn are the "Lucky Clovers."  The white frame is "Stitched Cover-Up Companion - Horizontal" from My Favorite Things.  "Lucky" is from Essentials by Ellen (Ellen Hutson).

Lastly, I used the new "Strawberry Patch" die set from Lawn Fawn for a friend's upcoming birthday, along with their new "Fruit Basket" die.

21st Birthday

 My great nephew is turning 21 soon, and I wanted to make him a card in a box.

The basic box is "Mini Slimline Outside the Box Level Up" from My Favorite Things.  "It's Your Birthday" is from Simon Says Stamp.  "Fabulous Fireworks Set" is from Your Next Stamp.  The numbers are from "Numbered Balloons" by Avery Elle, and they are sitting on the "Bam Bubble" by Paper Smooches.   After cutting out the fireworks three times, I realized they made exactly 21 stars - lucky!

I attached a small envelope (made from the same patterned paper) on the back where I tucked in some birthday money.
