This month’s Paper Pro’s challenge is masculine birthday cards! I pulled out Karen Burniston’s Coffee die to make some cards that can hold a gift card inside. The outside is decorated with Karen’s Crosshatch Rectangle die, the Happy Birthday die and Honey Bee’s Coffee Break stamp and die that were colored with Copic markers.
One of my favorite things about the Coffee die is that you can slip a gift card in the side of the coffee cup to make it a gift too! Hugs, Fran
More coffee cards using the Karen Burniston Coffee die and lots of cup coffee cup images! These cards were inspired by Kelly Booth who sent me a darling card with coffee cups framed in a rectangle. I changed mine up a bit – but the basic idea is hers!
I used the KB Crosshatch rectangle to make my rectangle and stacked them 4 high to add some depth. The Coffee Cups are an assortment from Prickly Pear and Hero Arts. I was coloring with my Copics one night and then decided to make them into cards! The sentiment is Stampin UP.
It’s a very merry cup of coffee!
Again, this die can also hold a gift card so I need to head to my local coffee shop and grab a few!
Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Are you getting ready for Christmas? The Paper Pros team is and we have some ideas for you! I made this cute 5 x 5 card using the Karen Burniston Christmas Animals die and a discontinued paper from Stampin Up that has a wonderful copper shine to it! My Rudolf has a bright gem stone nose and a wreath (which is included in the die set.)
Inside is the KB Coffee Pop Up die decorated with a snowflake and another Rudolf! I used copper foil paper to accent the coffee cup.
This is a great die for the holidays (or anytime!) because it holds a gift card. Such a nice way to wish someone a Happy Holidays! Hugs, Fran

This month’s challenge for the Karen Burniston Design is Coffee and Cake – which will you choose? I chose coffee (though I’m not opposed to cake with my coffee!) Using the Coffee Pop Up die and some retire Stampin Up patterned paper, I created 2 cards.
The sentiment on the front is from Garden in Bloom and featured the Pansy punch.
Inside is the wonderful Coffee Pop Up die that has little tabs on the cup to hold a gift card. The card then works with the Pop Up piece. A light weight paper works best with the cup and patterned paper is wonderful.
I decorated my coffee cup with the included die and another pansy. Make sure to check out the other designers! It’s a great coffee break 🙂 Hugs, Fran

This 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card features Karen Burniston’s new Coffee Charms and Coffee Pop Up dies paired with Stampin Up’s Coffee Break Designer Series paper. The tiny coffee cup is from the Coffee Charms set and the little dot in the center is Pool Party, brushed with shimmer pen and covered with Glossy Accents. The scalloped trim is from Karen’s Cake Trim and die cut from Garden Green
Not only is there a cake inside, there’s a slot to hold a gift card too! One of my favorite die 🙂
Super easy to put together! Hugs, Fran
There are new Karen Burniston dies just around the corner! This sneak peek is the new Coffee Cup Pop Up die. It will be available February 1 and you can see the entire collection here. I used Stampin Up’s Lots of Love stamp set and the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP for this card.
Isn’t this fun! The coffee cup pops up and holds a gift card! My card is a 5 x 5 but this die will fit in a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card too. The sky is the limit!
There are so many cute extras in this set. I know you will love it – and use it! Enjoy the new collection. Hugs, Fran.
