From the Vault - Designer Challenge

Hello my friends and welcome to the May 2024 Karen Burniston Designer Challenge.  This month Karen has asked the team to create a new card based on one that we have previously made.  Well, I have to say that I have lots more than one, I have posted several cards on my blog using the Little Twist Panel Pop Up which is my all time fav.  This die is so versatile, you can use one or two panels per card. Both make a wonderful full card.

My card for today is for my friends 85th birthday so it had to be special.  I used lots of colorful birthday die cuts and some festive colors to complete the card. Karen wanted us to show a photo of our inspiration card but I had so many I decided to share my top 6 favorites. Looks like I've gotten a lot of use from this die set.

If you click on the title below each photo it will take you to the blog post where there are more photos and some videos to see the cards in action.  I have linked the products I used below, simply click on the photo to see the details.

For the three cards above I used some great Graphic 45 images that I've had in my stash for some time.

You don't have to use the papers for the theme but it does make them come to life in a new way.

 Hello friends,

I love living in Arizona but sometimes it is so nice to have a change of season as we are having now.  I have been enjoying some cooler weather and breakfast on the patio.  To celebrate the season I have made a fun card to share with you.  All the dies used here are from Karen Burniston featuring the Little Twist Panel Pop Up (my all time favorite).

I love that you took the time to stop by,

 Hello friends,  

I made this card for my friend's birthday and she has already received it so I am happy to share it with you today.  I used papers from Graphic 45 and the Little Twist Panel die from Karen Burniston. I did a lot of fussy cutting for this one even though it is not my favorite thing to do.

I put two Little Twist Panels in the center of this card and then added as many things as I could fit.

Thanks for stopping by,

 Hello my crafty friends,

I have a fun card for you today.  I have combined the new Karen Burniston "Little Twist Panel Pop Up" with some great Graphic 45 papers that have been in my stash for a while now.  I added some of the new Sea Charms to the images just for fun.  This was so much fun to make that I have gone stash diving for more papers to use with this die set.  You will be seeing theme in the weeks to come.  

So sorry about the glare on the photos - when I choose this beautiful glossy paper I wasn't thinking about photos.

You can see all the products I used below, simply click on the image to learn more.  Also linked below is Karen's assembly video for the Little Twist Panel Pop Up.

Have a great week,
