Mini Slimline - Just a Note

I hadn't really intended to use this card as one of the Sneak Peeks for Karen Burniston's upcoming release, but since it IS Valentine's Day today and there are lots of hearts on this card, I decided to go ahead. The sneak peek part is on the inside. 😊

This Mini Slimline card uses papers, cut aparts, stickers and ephemera from Doodlebug Designs, but that adorable little envelope? It's from Karen Burniston's Mailbox Pop Up.

The new Little Twist Panel Pop Up is a smaller version of the hugely popular Twist Panel Pop Up and you can see how well it fits in a smaller card. This one is 3.5" wide!  

Since I always like to show you different ways to use your dies, I also only used the mechanism - the part with the arms, and not the accordion piece that goes over top. I did use both main pieces in tomorrow's card, but just by adding the included rectangles and some ephemera to the arms - I ended up with a nifty little pop up with lots of motion and not very much bulk.

Below you can see the whole new release, which will be shipping on February 20.

Late last year I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. 

Card Tally for 2023

January - 53 cards

Mail Themed Pop Up Card

Hello my crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing another card that uses some of Karen Burniston's New Release  and I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube:  

The new mailbox pop up also works great as an embellishment, which is how I used it on the card front. The mail themed embellishments (and all the patterned paper) are by Doodlebug and I have everything that is available linked below for you.

I also added scalloped borders top and bottom and the new Hearts Crosshatch for a signing block.

Mailbox Pop Up Mini Slimline Card

Hello my crafty friends!  I'm back today with another card made with the upcoming release by Karen Burniston. For this card I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube: 

I love that this release works so well in a 3.5" card width - my favourite width of both Mini and Slimline cards so I made a Mini Slimline card today. The front has the previously released Hello (with shadow) but check out those cute mini envelopes! They are a little hint of what is inside ...

... the new Mailbox Pop up!!

The little flag raises and lowers, and the lid opens and closes as the card opens and closes. It comes with lots of little hearts and those cute stitched mini envelopes in the set. I paired it with a previously released Thinking Of You, also by Karen Burniston.

The Design Team will be sharing sneak peeks this week, and celebrating with a Blog Hop on Monday January 24th when the New Release will start shipping! 

These are the new dies I used today, the previously released ones are linked for you below.
