Sneak Peeks are Here!!

 Hello friends,

Today is the first day for the sneak peeks from Karen Burniston's new release.   You are going to love this one, it is packed with fun and inspiration.  Hop on over to the Karen Burniston Pop Up Peeps on FB to see more from Karen and the design team.  Have a great day!

Here you can see all the great new dies and stamps.

Here is my first card featuring the new release - I used the new Cascade Pop-up with the Hot Air Balloons from the last release.  One of the best things about Karen's dies is that the new ones work perfectly with the previously released die sets.

Below is a picture of the Cascade Pop-up without the balloons - just so you can see how it works.  It looks so much harder than it is.  Fun, fun, fun.

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon -

Designer Challenge - "Box or Blocks"

 Hello Friends,

I live in Arizona where it is hot, hot, hot so I can't think of anything more refreshing than going to the movies.  Air conditioning, entertainment and a big box of popcorn.  I had some fun making this card using Puff Paint on the popcorn to make it feel real.

I used lots of fun dies from Karen Burniston including the napkin from the Coffee Cup Pop-up, the Movie Charms and Popcorn Pop-up - they are linked below.

A Steampunk Birthday

Hello again friends,

Time for another birthday, this card is for a friend who celebrated recently.  It is always a challenge to make a masculine card, but I still love Steampunk so used some gears for this one.

The Photo Gallery Pop-up along with the "Love Is In The Air" charms from Karen Burniston made this one come together in a fun way.

Birthday Wishes

Hi Friends,

 I like to try different things I find on the internet.  This time I found a new to me "fun fold".  I saw it on Lisa Curcio's YouTube channel and had to give it a try.  This is for my grandson's birthday, so I had to include his cute little dog, Frank.  I used clipart to create Frank and then decorated with dies from Karen Burniston. 

I hope my card put a smile on your face -

Birthday Bouquet

Hello Friends,

I make more Birthday cards than anything else - so of course - I have to share them here with you.  I made this card for a friend who has a summer birthday.  To me these flowers have a summer vibe.

 I used the Flower Pivot Panel from Karen Burniston to create this card.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

June Designer Challenge - Flag Colors

 Hello everyone,

It's Designer Challenge time once again and this month Karen has challenged the team with the theme "Flag Colors".  These colors are definitely patriotic, but I decided to go in a different direction.  We have an anniversary coming up (#62) so I decided to use the good ole Red, White and Blue to make a card for my sweet hubby. 

I used the Heart Pivot Panel with lots of hearts from different Karen Burniston dies.  You can see all the dies and products I used linked below.

Party Hat

Hello Friends,

Recently a friend asked me if I had a die for a pop-up party hat.  I did not have one so decided to create one.  I created the shape using my Scan n Cut but you could easily create this using the old school style, pencil and paper.  It is simply a triangle with a rounded bottom.  Then decorated.

I made it pop up in the center using the tab die from the Christmas Tree Pop Stand from Karen Burniston.  I added a festive pom pom on top and a matching ruffle at the bottom.  I must say I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
