Karen Burniston June Challenge – The Great Outdoors

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

A Karen Burniston Tag Book featuring Mama elephant’s Little Monkey Agenda!  The front also features the Pam Tree Pop Up.  These monkeys are up to fun!

Inside the monkeys are are having a great time swinging from Palm Tree Pop Ups!  Each monkey is colored with Copic markers.

I also used the Tropical Scenes die for the base of the Tag Book.  I just added some trees to the stabilizing pieces.

There are a few monkeys hiding in other places too 🙂  Lots of fun!  Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston May Challenge – Paradise

What do you think of when you think of “paradise”?  For today’s challenge I’m thinking of a vacation on a deserted island and, if it happened to have buried treasury, great!  I started with some digi stamps from The Happy Graphic and colored them with Copic markers.  Using the Karen Burniston Tropical Scenes dies, I made an island for the center mat and used the waves for the background.

The inside features the Karen Burniston Palm Tree Pop Up!  Isn’t it fun?  This top view gives you an idea of how it goes together.  The hammock is hanging from the tree with twine.

I love how this die practically explodes out the center of the card 🙂  Make sure to check out the other designers card (Karen will post on Wednesday.)  Hugs, Fran

Hello Friend

Here’s a fun card using Karen Burniston’s Palm Tree Pop Up and her Tropical Scene dies and some cute StampingBella stamps.  The card is 5 x 5.  The images are stamped in Momento ink and colored with Copic markers. The sunglasses, sun, and seashells are coated with a Wink of Stella pen and then coated with Glossy Accents.

And inside is the Palm Tree Pop Up!  I have tied the hammock to the tree and added the little sunbather to the hammock.  On the bottom of the sentiment strip, I’ve added Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to the shells, glasses, turtle shell, umbrella and duck’s beak.

Here’s the sunbather hanging out in the hammock.  A fun card for a friend!  Hugs, Fran

Eastern Beauty, KB Castle Pop Up, KB Tropical Scenes
Comments

These little sets are from StampingBella, the Littles Palm Tree set and Sandcastle set, and they were perfect paired with Karen Burniston’s Castle die.  For the front I used the Karen Burniston Tropical Scene die to create the sand and water.  Then I colored the little sunbathers and accessories with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I covered the shells, sun, and the sunglasses with Glossy Accents and added some washi tape to the bottom. The sentiment is Stampin Up’s Eastern Beauty.

But the fun is inside-

Using the Karen Burniston Castle Pop Up die, I made a sandcastle.  The beach babies and other beach accessories decorate the inside and the Tropical scene die continues to the inside.

The castle is so cute and very easy to assemble.  And a drawbridge!  Hope you enjoy the sun and sand!  Hugs, Fran
