Happy World Cardmaking Day

 Hello friends,

It is World Cardmaking Day and that is so perfect for me.  I love making cards and Halloween cards are my favorite ones to make.  It's a combination that makes me happy.

I have to confess that I had this card base made a long time ago, so it was handy to find in my crafting PHD (projects half done) file.  This is an A2 landscape, so I had plenty of room for the House Pivot Panel from Karen Burniston.   I cut several fences and glued together to extend the size of the spooky scene. There is a sale going on for World Cardmaking day on Karen's website.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.  Make a card.

Sandy's Take on Tanya's Take

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I wanted to make the spooky castle along with Tanya, but I didn't get a kit.  I had some of the same paper and the die, of course, so here is my take on Tanya's take.

Way back in 2018 I did a video on another haunted castle, I added a link below if you would like to take a peek.

Birthday Double Cascade

 Hey friends,

Stopping by today with a fun double cascade card.  The Designer Challenge this month was Cascade so why not keep it going?  I make a lot of birthday cards and using the Cascade Pop-up from Karen Burniston makes it easy to make a festive card.

Designer Challenge - Cascade

 Hello friends,

It is Designer Challenge Day - this month our challenge from Karen Burniston is "Cascade".  I used the new Cascade Pop-up to create a card for our friend who loves to bowl.  I make him a bowling card each year and this one is so fun.  I used the Cascade Pop-up a little differently this time, I did not use a circle or square on the top or bottom tier.  I used bowling pins and glued them directly on the top of the mechanism.  It is a fun look and I'm happy with the results.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the Karen Burniston Pop Up Peeps on Facebook to see so many more great cards for this challenge.

Steampunk Cascade

 Hi all, 

I'm back today with a fun card.  I know Steampunk is not as popular as it once was, but I still love it. I have always loved that grungy look so decided to combine my love of Steampunk with one of the new dies from Karen Burniston, the Cascade Pop-up. If you have been a Karen Burniston fan for a while you will recognize some of her older dies here.  

Thanks for stopping by,

A Boy and His Dog -

 Hello Karen Burniston fans,

I'm stopping by today with a cute card featuring the Gazebo Stage Add-On and the Little Bench Pop-up along with the Paper People Summer Style.  That's a lot of new dies mixed with some older ones.  That is one of the things I like best about Karen's dies, they all work together.  You can see all the products I used to create this card linked below.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit with a boy and his dog.

Designer Challenge - Mealtime

Hello friends,

It's Designer Challenge Day and this month Karen has challenged the team with the theme: Mealtime.

I really like shaped cards so decided to make this apron shaped card with a large pocket full of kitchen tools.  On the inside I added plates of food using the Mealtime Elements on the Cascade Pop-up. I added some spaghetti, bread and, of course, dessert.

You can see all the die sets (there are a few) I used to create this card linked below. 

Thanks for stopping by,
