'You Are A Treasure' Sneak Peek Card

Today is the day the Design Team can start sharing sneak peeks of Karen Burniston's upcoming release! Above you can see the whole release, which will be shipping February 20th. Meanwhile - I hope you enjoy what the team is sharing. 

I love how well all of her dies work together, so I pulled in several others to work with the new release and actually started with the Cupcake Pop Up. You can disguise the cupcake part, as I did here with the Treasure Chest. On this one I had to trim off the top part of the cupcake icing as it did stick up above the Treasure Chest.  

Lots of shimmer and shine on this card, from the mirrored card stock. 😊

My top folding card is sized 4-1/2 x 6" and fits into an A6 envelope. The new Beach Borders are so fun - here, I cut them from a pink mirrored card stock. I used scraps of metallic mirrored cardstock for the coins and jewels in the treasure chest as well.

The treasure chest lid doesn't pop up, it's more of a 'lift flap' feature on the card. But since you see both sides, I snipped one of the crabs from the crab border and added it to the top of the chest.

The new Rectangles and Labels Crosshatch have label dies that coordinate with the Label Charm Pop Up, so I added one of them as a place for the sentiment.

I have been 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.

Dog House Pop Up Card

Hello my crafty friends. Every year our dogs seem to need vaccinations or medications in December so I like to bring the veterinary clinic a holiday card and a little gift. This year I am using the Dog House Tiny House Add On (which is an add on set to the Tiny House Pop Up) for their card.

All the dies I used are by Karen Burniston and linked below. I stamped onto lightly patterned paper for the card decorative layers, and adhered small magnets in between the layers to the card would stay closed as it comes out of the envelope. I thought the sentiment was a fun one 😊.

Below is the card fully open. This is a smaller than A2 card, sized at 4 x 5". Initially I was going to have a Bam Box in the upper right corner but my card base was too small and it wasn't working out. So I used the labels that are included with the Bam Box instead!

Both the paw and the roof dies have a cool stamping feature. You simply ink up the die and it stamps and die cuts with a single pass.

The stamping in brown was a little hard to read, so I went over the words with a black fine point pen. The heart, dog collar and dog bone were cut from copper foiled scraps and they have great shine.

I just love the little dog that comes included with the Dog Tiny House Add On!

Additional Supplies:
Patterned paper - Winter Frost, Recollections (old) (Letter sized package)
Kraft cardstock
White cardstock
Shimmer Spray
Black marker

New House Pop Up Card

Hello!  Today I'm sharing the pop up card I made for friends who are downsizing into a new-to-them house. Most of the dies I used are by Karen Burniston and are linked below. I started with the Home Sweet Home - very appropriate!

Inside, I used the Tiny House Pop Up. It's so cute when you open the card and the card stays open for a nice display. I added a layered oval where I wrote a greeting and signed our names.

Such an adorable little door, and there are even window boxes to add to the windows! My friend is an amazing gardener, so I had to add some flowers to those boxes. I also added a little heart to the roof.

The Tiny House Pop up die set has new technology on the roof die. I inked it with a grey ink, then laid it face down on the grey patterned paper. It stamps and cuts at the same time - such a great detail!

 This is the back view of the house ...

I created a Halloween themed Slimline Card using the Tiny House Pop Up along with the new Haunted Tiny House Add-Ons and the new Happy Halloween.

This is an 'off set' Slimline card and I listed the measurements in the description box of my video if you are interested. Love the crooked shutters and wonky door with the planks for this addition to the Tiny House Pop Up. I used the extra shingle die to create the walking path.

Because I wanted the Happy Halloween to blend in to the 'wispy background, I cut it from grey card stock and cut the shadow from vellum.

Mother's Day Pop Up Card

Hello!  It's Designer Challenge time, and Karen Burniston challenged her design team to create a project using dies from her new release. I made a Pop Up Mother's Day Card and have a YouTube video for you as well:

I used the new Tiny House Pop Up, which was made with new technology. The roof not only die cuts, and embosses the shingles - but if you ink the die up before cutting, it also stamps the shingles. SOOOOO cool! 

I used the roof piece as a stencil to add 'bricks' to the house. 

View from the back ...

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 ways you can use your dies once you know how to assemble them.

I knew I wanted to make a 4.5 x 6" (A6) card but didn't have that shade of green card stock in a 12 x 12". To get around that, I cut my green card stock at 11 x 4.5", scored at 5". That gave me an offset front (which I actually really liked) and the back is the full A6 size!

Additional Supplies:
Card stocks - stash
Woodgrain patterned paper - Stampin' Up
Green patterned paper - Stampin' Up
Silver matte card stock
Sequins
Card sie - 4-1/2 x 6", fits in an A6 envelope
