Hello Coffee! and Hello to the new design team members you will be meeting next month. As for me, this marks my last post as a Dies R Us Design team member. I have greatly enjoyed my extended stay on the team. It has been a pleasure to create with the wide variety of brands in the STORE . I have been introduced to some fantastic designers to which I will be loyal to for years to come. I am also very excited about all the "other" products I have recently purchased such as Distress inks and the very helpful Tutti Designs Poke Tools. Thanks to the Dani, Darlene and all the DT members for a great run!
Today I am using my latest purchase the Karen Burniston Coffee Cup Pop Up dies. I find these pop up dies to be fairly easy to assemble, however, I always find a video to watch before I attempt it myself. You can view Karen's own video or find another version. I usually watch two to catch all the nuances of a new complex die. I found the actual mechanism of this pop up to be very different from others I own. It is really neat and allows a place for a gift card.

I did not plan on using this as a gift card holder so I centered my coffee cup, but you can place this pop up mechanism where ever you desire on the fold. It is awesome!
Here's a closer look at my cup. The napkin the cup sits on has some really neat embossing that is hard to see in the picture. I tried to highlight it a bit with ink.
I used only dies that came in the set except the Karen Burniston Greetings Hello and the Frantic Stamper Stitched Cut Corners background for the front of the card.
