Another one from the PHD file

 Hello again friends,

Last week I was in a creative slump and found a card in my PHD (projects half done) file.  Well, I have been sorting through my files again and found this card base already done - all I had to do was add embellishments.

I used the house of cards which was already in the card and then simply cut out some great birthday images and BAM!! - done.

Week 6 - Haunted House

 Hello Friends,

It is the final week of my series on the different uses for the House of Cards die set.  This week I think is the best one yet, a Haunted House.  I had to alter the base of this card to make my plan work and I will show you just how to do that in a short video at the end of the post.  So without further ado -

here it is. 

This card was so fun yet challenging and I like that.  I had to alter the base of the card to hold all the elements and I explain it all to you at the end of this video.  The first part is the new Haunted House and then a review of all the House of Cards creations.

Here is how I altered the center to make the card work with three cubes on the bottom.  Instructions are also included at the end of the video.

cut and assemble as usual leaving one end open.  Mark 1/2" sections as shown above.

Cut on line and overlap to shorten.  Glue second tab and then find new center.

Install in card as usual and then place the first cube over the center mechanism.

House of Cards Week 5

 Hello Friends and welcome back,

Today I am sharing week 5 of my House of Cards Series where I am showing different ways to use the House of Cards die set.  This week I have a Birthday card that is a pile of gifts.  Who wouldn't love to get a pile of gifts?

Here is a short video of the card in action,

Once again, I am early with this card, that I promised each Monday, because tomorrow Karen Burniston and the Design Team will begin the sneak peeks for the band new release.  We are all excited to share these new dies with you and then next week on September 18, 2023, we are having a blog hop with a chance for you to win great prizes.

You are going to love it.

House of Cards Week 3

 Hello friends,

I'm back with week 3 of my House of Cards series.  This week I have used the die set as the name implies placing the mini cards for an expected look. I thought it would be a fun way to congratulate someone on their new job.

Here is a short video of the card in action.

Thanks for joining me today, you can find out more about the products I used by clicking the links below.

See you soon,

Week 2 - House of Cards/Birthday Cake

 Hello Friends,

Today I have another House of Cards for you.  As promised, I will be showing a new card each week on Monday where I have used the House of Cards die set from Karen Burniston.  This die set is so versatile and can be used, as you will see, for so much more than the name implies.  This week I have made a birthday cake.  

Sorry about the glare on this one, I wanted the cake plate to look like silver so used mirror cardstock.  It looks great in person but really difficult to film and photograph.

For this card I cut all the pieces from white cardstock and then added some pink dots and then used the Trims Border Blend set for the top. On the top I added some candles and finished it off with some forks.  

Thanks for stopping by, I have added photos of the two House of Cards projects I have previously shared.

    

See you next Week,

House of Cards Birthday

 Hi Friends,

I love to use my dies in as many ways as possible.  This week I am sharing another House of Cards creation with you.  This one was made for a friend who recently had a birthday.  I used lots of birthday paper and then decorated with balloons, gifts, hats etc.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

Here is a quick video of the card in action.

I've made several versions of the House of Cards, both expected and unexpected.  Over the next few weeks I will be sharing them with you each Monday until I have no more.  I hope you will stop by for a visit.

See you soon,

It's a New Release from Karen Burniston

 Hello Friends,

It's an exciting time right now because Karen Burniston just released 9 new die sets.  Oh what fun we will have with these.  All of the dies are fun and exciting but what a WOW factor with the new House of Cards.  The first card game that came to my mind was GO FISH so I had to make this fun card.

Who doesn't love a crazy steampunk guy riding a fish?  Then the House of Cards just pops up with all kinds of sea creatures.  So much fun.

Be sure to check out all the fun and see so many more fun reveals on the Karen Burniston Pop Up Peeps on Facebook.   ENJOY!!
