Another Wonderful Year, KB House & Fence, KB Outdoor Scene, KB Tree Pop Up, Stitched All Around

This is my Father’s Day card for my dad. I used all kinds of stuff to make this card! The stamps are MFT Animal Farm and the sentiment is Stampin Up’s Stitched All Around. Those cute clouds are Karen Burniston’s Outdoor Scenes. The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Crumb Cake with Old Olive patterned paper.

Inside features the Karen Burniston Tree Pop Up and the House & Fence Pop Up. I fashioned the house to match our farm house by stenciling the background with a brick stencil very lightly – going for the look of stone. The grass is also from the Outdoor Scenes die.

I made a few simple boxes to pop up some of the animals and some are attached directly to the back. I had to trim the tree (!) so the horse could peek through! And yes, we raise black angus cattle so the poor dairy cow had to have a make over!

The sentiments are from Stampin Up’s Another Wonderful Year and Truly Tailored (retired.) This is when I realize I’ve used a birthday sentiment!! So in the final version I’ve covered up the birthday part with Happy Father’s Day! Sheesh! Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston June Challenge – The Great Outdoors

KB Outdoor Scene, KB Tent Pop Up, KB Tropical Scenes

5 Comments

This month the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is The Great Outdoors! I started with a 5 x 7 card base and decorated it with the Tropical Scene and Outdoor Scenes dies. The sentiment is a new Stampin Up set called Stitched All Around and is backed with the new KB Rectangle Cross Hatch dies. The little monkey is from Mama Elephant’s Little Monkey Agenda.

Inside I used both the Kb Palm Tree and new Tent pop ups! And lots of monkeys! It’s easy to combine both these dies on this size card. You just need to make sure they don’t catch on each other as they open and close.

Some of the monkeys are attached directly to the tent and tree and others are glued to the Baker’s twine. This is done by die cutting 2 monkeys and sandwiching them between the twine.

I attached two small Palm trees by using the extra piece in the Tent Pop Up die. I just attached these to the base of the Palm Tree. This was a fun card to make. Check out the other designers now and see Karen’s challenge card on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

KB Outdoor Scene, KB Princess and Mermaid, KB Spinner Square, Playful Background, Uncategorized

Comments

Here’s a sparkly mermaid card for someone special. I started with Karen Burniston’s Spinner Square die, the Princess and Mermaid die and the Outdoor scenes die – and lots of glitter paper!. The background was stamped with Stampin Up’s Playful Backgrounds stamp and then I went all the little bubbles with glossy accents. The mermaids are wearing green glitter paper tails to go with the blue glitter paper wave.

Inside a mermaid pops out to wish the birthday girl a special day!

I love how this die works! Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge for February – Castles

3-D, box, Challenges, KB Castle Pop Up, KB Knight and Dragon, KB Outdoor Scene, KB Princess and Mermaid, KB Tag Book, KB Word Set - Royalty

Comments

This month’s Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is Castles featuring Karen’s new Castle Pop Up die. I made some boxes and tags with the Castle die, Princess and Mermaid die, Knight and Dragon die and the Word set die 5 – Royalty. This tag uses the Castle die in Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo. The sky was done with Distress Oxide inks and the grass is Pear Pizzaz. The little princess wears a Pool Party dress embellished with some Dazzling Diamonds. (Sounds like we’re at the Oscars!) The tag itself is from the Karen Burniston Tag Book. I just used the Castle die flat – no score lines – across the tag.

Every Princess needs a box for their gift! Here I used the Castle die flat across a box. I finished it off with some birds from the Karen Burniston Outdoor Scene die. It took me 3 1/2 castle strips to do this box. (A retired SU box – any box would work.) I tied it off with some pink ribbon from my stash.
