Designer Challenge - Love Is In The Air

 Hello again,

It's Designer Challenge Day and this time our theme is "Love Is In The Air".  I am using some of the new release for this one.  I have used the new "Stage Pop-up" with the "Love Is In The Air" charms.

For the moon, I created a Scan N Cut file and then attached it to the card with acetate.  If you don't have an electronic cutting machine, no worries, you can create a crescent moon using a circle die as shown below.   The stars are from several different die sets.

To add the stars to the Stage I used the dies in the set to create holes in the base and then added the cardstock stands as shown below.  I then cut 1/4" strips of acetate and added to the stands - cutting off the acetate at different lengths and adding the stars.  I removed the excess cardstock once I attached the acetate strips.  The reason for using the cardstock was to create a stronger foundation using glue.  I attached the acetate using two small glue dots. 

Thanks for stopping by,

A day at the beach -

Hey friends,

I have another sneak peek for you today.  This time I used the new "Stage Pop-up" and the "Sea Stage Add-ons" to create this fun, day at the beach, card.  One of the best things about Karen Burniston dies is that the new ones work perfectly with the old.  You can see all the products I used linked below as well as the new ones that will be available on Monday February 2, 2026.

Birthday Wishes

 Good morning,

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a friend.  She loves "brown" so each year I try to create a card for her using her favorite color. For this card I used the Flower Pivot Panel from Karen Burniston.

Happy New Year

 Hello friends,

I hope everyone is doing well and had a happy holiday season.  I am getting back to my craft room after a short break.  I made this card using the Frame Pull Pop-up along with some other great dies from Karen Burniston.  You can see all of the products I used linked below.

ENJOY!!

I did a little alteration to the Frame Pull, I made the square on top bigger, it is 

4" X 4".  With a bigger square, I needed a longer pull tab, so I made it wider as well.  It is 1.25 " wide.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year,

S@ndy
