Designer Challenge - First 100 dies

Hello friends and welcome back,

I hope everyone is having a great new year so far.  Our holidays were great but glad it is over for another year.  

Our challenge for today is to use any dies from Karen Burniston's first 100 releases.  There was a great choice here and I finally landed on the Twist Panel.  I always love a dynamic pop up and this one is great for that.  I'm combining my challenge card with a birthday card that I need for a friend who loves, blue, green and purple.  I got it covered with this colorful Twist Panel.

Happy Hanukkah

 Hi and Welcome,

This year is unusual for the holidays - with Christmas and the first day of Hanukkah falling on the same day.  Each year I make one Hanukkah card for our good friends who celebrate.  I used dies from Karen Burniston (and large candles from my stash) to create my card.  I hope our friends enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Hanukkah,

Holiday Greeting

 Hello friends and welcome,

Hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner - I made a card in hast to get all the last-minute things done before Christmas Eve.  I used a panel from a paper pad to create the front of the card and on the inside, I used the Stocking Pop-up from Karen Burniston.  This card is already in the mail.  

Since it is more fun to see a pop-up card in action, I have included a short video for you.

Happy Holidays,

S@ndy

Special Delivery

Hello again friends, with Christmas just a couple weeks away, you may be stressing if you haven't finished your cards yet.  Today I have one that goes together quickly for a spectacular look.  

For this card I used Karen Burniston's new Postage Pop-up to create a fun look.  For the front I simply used some designer paper that was in my stash cut to make a square card.  On the inside I continued with the designer paper and added the Postage Pop-up with some more of Karen's adorable charms and borders.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

 Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays,

Designer Challenge - Happy New Year

 Hello friends,

It's Designer Challenge Day and this time Karen has challenged the team with the theme of Happy New Year.  This time I decided to go back to my roots which is mixed media.  I haven't done any mixed media in ages because I have been making cards.  

I have a large collection of vintage things that we have found on our RV travels over the years.  One of our favorite things to do when we went to a new town was to go to the shops and antique stores.  For this make I have used an old bed spring, it was fun, I hope you enjoy it.

All of the dies I used are from Karen Burniston, it is always fun to use them in a new way.  Just because they are pop-ups doesn't mean you can't find a new way to use them.  I love that Karen released a larger scale Poinsettia which I have used here.

Happy Crafting,

Just a note to say -

 Hi friends,

My friend, Natalie, recently celebrated her birthday so now it is ok to share the card I made for her.  As you may have guessed, her favorite color is pink.

I used the Lorna Label along with two of the add-ons.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

Stay Crafty,
