New Karen Burniston Dies Are Here and a HOP!

There are new dies coming to the Karen Burniston world and a HOP with a prize!

Today I’m sharing one of my favorites! Take a look at the new Gift Box Pivot die!

This card starts with the Crosshatch Circle die and Mama Elephant’s Christmas Spirit stamp set and dies. The sentiment is white heat embossed from Simon Says Stamp’s Holiday Greetings Mix 1. All the images are colored with Copic Markers.

I alternated the dimension on the elves using die cut fun foam.

Inside is where the fun is located! The Gift Box Pivot makes a great background for this scene!

I decorated the panels and the frame around it with more images from the stamp set.

The Gift Boxes have darling bows and gift tags!

To celebrate the release Karen Burniston and each of the Karen Burniston – KB Riley LLC Design Team members will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to some lucky person who comments on our blog posts, so make sure you join the hop and comment on everyone’s blog post. Winners will be randomly chosen from ALL of the blog hop comments received on our blog posts by Saturday, November 15th 2019.

Karen Burniston November Challenge – Holiday Accordions

The holidays are coming – and fast! Today is the November Challenge for the Karen Burniston Design Team and we are accordion dies to make holiday cards. I chose the Charm Accordion die and Winter Charms!

I started with the Simon Says Stamp Candy Cane Background and embossed it in white over the entire card. Then I added the Winter Charms and Holiday Greetings from Karen Burniston.

I used the Charms for the small and large images.

The hanging charms are tied on with linen thread. The “icing” is white gel pen.

The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp Christmas Squad – worked great! Make sure to check out the rest of the team’s creations. Karen will post her’s tomorrow. Hugs, Fran

New Dies From Karen Burniston

There are new dies being released from Karen Burniston! Fun! This one features the Flap and Closure die that makes a cute envelope for a lot of dies – especially this one :). I started this with a 5 x 5 base and added one flap closure and the Happy Birthday die!

Inside is the Parcel Pop Up holding a gift card! The card moves up and down as you open and close the card.

While I had my supplies out, I decided to create another Parcel Pop Up card. This one also features the Lawn Fawn Mushroom House and Mushroom Border stamps and dies along with the Karen Burniston Word Set 1 – Greetings die.

I gave the mushrooms some dimension with fun foam.

Inside I used the Mushroom House over the pop up mechanism so the gnomes move up and down!

The little sign is included with the Parcel Pop Up die! So stay tuned to see the complete line of new dies from Karen Burniston! Hugs, Fran
