Designer Challenge - Autumn or Christmas Cheer

 Hello Friends,

It's time once again for the Designer Challenge and this time Karen has challenged the team with Autumn or Christmas cheer.  Since the colors of Autumn are among my favs, I went with Thanksgiving.  I love Thanksgiving because it is the only celebration for eating, something I excel at.

I've linked all the products I've used below as well as Karen's assembly video.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,

Sneak Peek 2

 Hello again friends,

I thought I would stop by quickly today to share another sneak peek from the new Karen Burniston release.  You are going to love all of these new dies for the holiday season.  Today I have another card featuring the Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons.  My deer is busy trying to untangle those peskey Christmas lights. 

 Good lucky on that!  

I also used one of the new stamp sets that works perfectly with this fun card.  You can see the entire new release in the video below.

Sneak Peek

 

Hello all -

Are you ready for some new dies from Karen Burniston?  We have been waiting for a while now and the day has arrived.  This new release is full of fun and fabulous pop-up dies, add-ons and stamps.  

My card for today is featuring the new Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-ons. This is a way to get creative with some of the dies you may already have in your collection (you need to have the Snowman Pop-up #1169 to make this die work).

My penguin is shown with some Christmas lights which are included in the set.  The lights are two sided so you can string them on a tree or on the reindeer antlers. I have also used one of the new stamp sets.  I just love that Karen has started coming out with stamps to accompany the die sets.  So easy to make the perfect card.

Here is the entire new release, enjoy.

Be sure to visit the Karen Burniston Pop Up Peeps on Facebook to see more of this great release.  The design team has been busy making fabulous cards to share.

Thanks for stopping by,
