August 2022 Sheetload of Cards

Hello my crafty friends. I'm back with my second post today ... usually Sheetload day (the 2nd of each month) and Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge Day don't fall on the same day - but this month they did. So ... two posts, lots of cards to share and two different YouTube video's!

Since I'm on the Sheetload of Cards YouTube Collaboration Team, I have all the details in my video HERE:   

This month the Sheetload of Cards yields twelve cards and uses three different 12 x 12" patterned papers. I chose to make Christmas cards and did three sets of four cards. Four 'flat' cards, four with Karen Burniston's Evergreen Pivot Panel die set and four with her Katherine Label Pop Up set.

First up are the ones with the Evergreen Pivot Panel - which works great for Christmas cards although I use this one year round.

The next set show the Katherine Label Pop Up although instead of the label shape I used large red die cut snowflakes and a Merry Christmas sentiment to pop up.

The details on how you can download your own (free) Sheetload of cards can be found in the description below my video on YouTube.

Circle Tag Book with Ice Cream Cones

Hello!  It's time for Karen Burniston's July Designer Challenge, and she challenged her Design Team to create a card using either the Tag Book or the Circle Tag Book. 

Every year I send Ice Cream cards to my kids in honour of my Mom. When she was a little girl there was a parade in their small town each July and afterwards her dad (my Grandpa) would take her for an ice cream soda. She made sure to take my brother and I for ice cream on this day each July and I did the same with my kids and now my grandkids. When my Mom lived away from us for a few years, I started sending her Ice Cream themed cards since we couldn't be together for an ice cream sundae and now I make sure to send my kids and my brother an ice cream card in July.

That is why I made an ice cream card for the challenge!  I have all the details on YouTube:  

As I said in the video, I chose to add the Evergreen Pivot Panels inside instead of the insert from the Circle Tag Book. I added it upside down then snipped off the hanging holes from the ice cream charms in the Sweet Treats set.

The ice cream scoops were die cut from glittery card stock in the patterned paper package and there are glittery bits in the patterned paper too.

Finally, here is the top view of the card.

I needed one more Ice Cream card so worked ahead and you will be seeing another one for the August Designer Challenge, only this time I used Karen Burniston's Parcel Pop Up combined with the Ice Cream Sundae Pop Up. 😊

I was also going to share  the Circle Tag Book assembly video for you, but since I really only used the outside, I'm just sharing the Evergreen Pivot Panels one only.  Remember Karen Burniston has assembly videos for her pop up dies!  Once you know how to assemble your die, the rest is card size, paper and colour choice as well as embellishments! You can change the look of your card every time you use the dies. :-)  I always enjoy showing you different looks and ways you can use your dies once you know how to assemble them.

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:  

Check out the C4C blog to see how the Crazies have been inspired by the challenge. We'd  love to see your take on it, so be sure to stop by the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and link up your creations. If you are uploading to an online gallery, please use the keyword C4C449.

Christmas Tree Pivot Card

Good morning friends

I have a holiday pivot card to share today, using Karen Burniston's older Evergreen Pivot die set and patterned paper from Stampin' Up.

The decorator dies come with openings for embossing or stencilling, I used them here with a white gel pen to decorate the tree layers.

When the card is opened, the trees pivot to the inside.

While it's hard to see in the photos, I also added gold foil papers and Peel-Off's.

Into my holiday card stash with this one!
