Karen Burniston and Pear Blossom

Today the Karen Burniston Design Team is working with Pear Blossom Press to create a fun, light up card! And there are prizes! I started with a plaid stamp on red card stock and some darling gingerbread men from the Christmas Charms die set.

I stacked the gingerbread men 3 high to give them some dimension and punched a 2 1/2″ circle punch from the red to make a “plate.”

Inside I used the Ice Cream Sundae die and the Castle to create a gingerbread scene. The Train and Train Elements dies create the bottom. To do the fun lights, the Press are is in the bottom left and the string goes up to the windows. These are fun and easy lights to use because one battery holds 3 lights – and it’s all ready to use! (No copper tape!)

So you just press on the circle and the castle lights up!

Here’s the train bringing your presents! Too cute! Enjoy all the Karen Burniston / Pear Blossom Press creations!
