C4C 449 Masculine Sneak Peek Pop-Up Card.

Good morning friends

It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy4Challenges Blog. Since it's a new month we also have a new Hostess and Guest Designer! Our August hostess is Anja de Regt, and our guest designer is Connie VanLoosen.

Anja's challenge this week is:  "Our youngest son is turning 21 tomorrow, how did that happen? No little boys card for this one anymore, my challenge for you today is to make a masculine card."


Today is the day the Design Team can start to share peeks at Karen Burniston's new release, which will be shipping in early September. YAY!!!



As usual, the front of my Pop-Up card is fairly simple. I dangled three fish from the Camping Charms on a piece of twine, highlighting the fish with metallic gel pens. The 'Celebrate' is one of the new dies!



Inside, I used another one of the new dies - the Evergreen Pivot Panel. Now this is not the first card I made with this die set, but that one didn't fit with the challenge and since today is the day we can share I am sharing this card first.

The COMING SOON Pivot Panels are pretty cool for a number of reasons. They are easy to use, they don't require a backing card and they give a lot of dimension. There are two Pivot Panels being released, this one and a House Pivot Panel. The decorator dies seem to be interchangeable - I have used the houses with the Evergreen Pivot Panel and visa versa. As well as working inside a regular card, they fit PERFECTLY on the Tag Book Pop-Up to completely change the look of that die set. The Tag Book Pop-Up is really popular, so people will love having additional dies that work with that. AND it also is meant to work with the Twist Panel Pop-Up - another incredibly popular die set. For my card today, I used a side fold wide A2 card.



Our son likes to fish, so this card is for his birthday next month. The Fall tree panels were cut from patterned paper using the Crosshatch Rectangle dies. I cut the Evergreen Pivot Panel from kraft card stock, then dipped and dragged it through Distress Oxide ink puddles to add colour. I added a stamped & die cut bear/fish and trees from both the Evergreen and the House Pivot Panels.



The greeting was white embossed on a zig-zag circle, then adhered to one of the Evergreen pop-out pieces. I love using dies in ways other than the way they were intended, and I can't wait to play with these Pivot Panels some more.



Finally, for those that like to pin group shots - here you go:




Since the KBR offices are in the process of a big move, you won't be able to pre-order these dies until September 1st and they will start shipping around the second week of September. Remember you can always ask your local retailer to bring them in for you as well! For a little video showing the entire September 2018 release, check out Karen Burniston's blog HERE:
