New Release Blog Hop 2026

 Hello Karen Burniston fans,

The big day is here - all of the new release is being revealed and waiting for your orders.  This is your chance to see all the new dies in action.  Each member of Karen's team has a $25 gift card to give away; all you have to do is leave a comment with your contact information for a chance to win. The links are listed below so simply click on the link to visit each blog.

Here is my card for the hop - I have used the new Hot Air Balloons and the new Clear Stamp Set "Love Notes" along with Word Set 9 and the Triple Platform Pop-up to show you that Love Is In The Air. I love how all of Karen's dies work together, the older ones with the new.



Here are all the dies and stamps from this release.

 
You can start hopping now - good luck!

Just flying by with a Birthday HI!

 Just a quick fly by today to share a card using some things from my older Karen Burniston stash along with newer ones.  The Hot Air Balloons work perfectly with the Triple Platform Pop-up.




This card was so much fun to create so if, like me, you have dies that haven't seen the light of day for some time - it's time to think about how they will work with your new stash.

See you next time,

S@ndy

The Great Outdoors

Hi and welcome -

It's Designer Challenge Week with Karen Burniston.  This time around she has challenged us with the theme of  "The Great Outdoors".   Right now, here in Arizona, we are enjoying some fabulous spring weather and the cactus are showing off their beautiful blooms .  The days are sunny and comfortable - perfect for spending some time on the patio with a good book and a cool drink. 

One of the things that can be seen early in the mornings around here are hot air balloons.  Just as the sun is coming up they are rising above the mountains with their beautiful vibrant colors. With the sun shining on them it sometimes looks as if they are lit from within.



I used the Hot Air Balloon Pop Up along with the Western Edges Die Set, and threw in some clouds from the All Seasons Tree Set, all designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.



The star of the show on a Pop it Ups card is always the inside of the card so I kept the front simple with a greeting from the Cocoa Western Clear Stamps on a label from the Katie Label Pivot Card.

Stop by again tomorrow for another card made for this challenge.  On Wednesday 4/20/2016 you can see what the entire team made as well as a new video from Karen by visiting her blog here.
 
Have a creative week,

Designer Challenge Week - Day 2

Hi everyone and welcome back for day 2 of  Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge Week where we are sharing Pull Cards.  Her Challenge to us was Pull It!  Yesterday I shared a horizontal pull card feathering Lucky.  Today I've decided to go vertical with the Oval Pull Card and use Karen's beautiful Hot Air Balloons.
 
 
I cut the card as usual placing the alignment nubs on the fold of the card.  Then just give it a quarter turn to pull up instead of out.  I turned to my e-cutter for the big cloud and sized it to fit the oval.  Like yesterday - I wanted to hide a secret message inside.
 
 
As the card is pulled upward - the balloons float to the top revealing the message.
 
Don't forget to stop Karen's blog here tomorrow to see what the entire team made.  Karen will be showing all the Pull It designs as well as a brand new video.  Her videos always feature a new technique using her dies - another great way to get the most from your collection.
 
Have a great week,
S@ndy
