Perfect time for staying in -

 Hello Friends, 

I live in Arizona and it is HOT, HOT, HOT.  That means it is a perfect time to stay in and create some cards in the craft room.  It is also a good time for a movie in the air conditioned theater.  I was thinking of the Acadamy Awards when I looked through my paper stash.  I created this fun card with a movie theme in mind.  

It's a slimline card with lots of  movie themed elements.  I used the Katherine Lable to pop up the popcorn and drink.

Designer Challenge - Rainbows

 Hello everyone,

It's Designer Challenge Day and this month the Karen Burniston Design Team is challenged with "Rainbow".  My card is a Wizard of Oz theme - I've had this paper in my stash for a long time now and I thought a Rainbow Challenge would be the perfect time to use it.  

I used the Arch Pop-up with the arms to add extra clouds to the rainbow.  I also used two stamps from the Rainbow greetings and the Curved Edges to create my card.  

You can see all the products linked below - when you buy from my link it helps me at no extra cost to you.

Happy Crafting,

Gnome Birthday

 Hello Friends,

I recently made this card for a friend who loves gnomes.  It was the perfect time to use the Tiny Gnomes along with the lovely Happy Birthday greeting.  It turned out so cute and she loved it.

I used a double Flip Frame to make things pop-up on both sides of the card.

 Hello -

For all you Karen Burniston Pop Up Peeps - the big day is here.  Yes, Sneak Peeks.

My card for today was made with our grandson in mind, he graduated on the 4th of June with his doctorate in Physical Therapy.  We are so proud of him.

I used the new Arch Pop-up, the Graduation Elements and the Graduation Greetings along with other dies which are linked below.

Here you can get an idea of what to look forward to.

Designer Challenge - "ANIMALS & CHARACTERS"

 Hey Everybody - (or should I say hay?)

It's Designer Challenge Day and this month we are challenged to use any Karen Burniston animal or character die, so I went to the farm with this fun card featuring a herd of cows.

I used the Flip Frame to animate the cows and then finished it off using lots of farm images.  You can see the products I used linked below.

See you next time,
