Thought I’d tease you with a sneak peek of one of Karen Burniston’s upcoming dies! This is the Circle Tag Book along with Feathered Friends and some Congratulations words.
Isn’t this cute? I paired it with Stampin Up’s Tropical Chic DSP.
These dies will be available at the end of the month – but I thought you needed a little tease today! Hugs, Fran
Love is in the Air! The Paper Pros challenge is LOVE and I’m all for that 🙂 I had some bits and pieces around from a Stampin Up kit and decided they would make a great card. Inside the window is the cake die cut with a flower die cut and when you open it….
You find the Karen Burniston Spinner Square with some wedding wishes. I love these colors and I love the sentiment popping out from behind the cake. Make sure to check out the other Paper Pros and see their LOVEly cards! Hugs, Fran

Happy New Year! It’s so much fun to start the New Year with a challenge for the KB Design Team! Anything New – a tag book? That’s not new to me 🙂 But what is new to me is the inside.
I used a double Spinner Square card inside – shown by Karen last month. The foil paper was a bit difficult to attach things too – but I made it work.
I used lots of balloons to decorate the inside! Nothing like a few balloons to brighten up the celebration! The sentiments and greetings are from a new Stampin Up set called Itty Bitty Birthday. I embossed them in gold.
The greeting is die cut from black Glitter paper. Hope you enjoy! Karen’s card will be posted tomorrow on her blog so make sure to check it out! Hugs, Fran
It’s that time of year – a Paper Pros Challenge! This month is Holidays and I dug through my stash to make a Christmas card. I used the Karen Burniston Merry Christmas word die and the Snowman’s hat for the front of my card. (This paper is retired!) I stacked the word die 3-4 high to make it stand out.
Inside is a cute KB Snowman Twist popping out to send wishes! He’s surrounded by some snowflakes and has finally found his hat!
I love his cute little face! Make sure to check out the other Paper Pro challenge cards for some more inspiration. Hugs, Fran
My inky creation for this month’s KB Design Team Challenge is features the Karen Burniston Tag Book and the Merry Christmas word die. Â The little snowmen are from the Mama Elephant Snowman Agenda. Â I used Distressed Oxides to make the snowy background.
Inside the snowmen are playing across the Tag Book!
Here’s a close up of them. Â I added a few on the outside edges and the hinges.
It’s such a great die! Â While this one can be mailed, I’m tying it to a package. Â Make sure to check out all the design team’s cards tomorrow on Karen’s blog! Â Hugs, Fran
More coffee cards using the Karen Burniston Coffee die and lots of cup coffee cup images! Â These cards were inspired by Kelly Booth who sent me a darling card with coffee cups framed in a rectangle. Â 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. Â The Coffee Cups are an assortment from Prickly Pear and Hero Arts. Â I was coloring with my Copics one night and then decided to make them into cards! Â 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! Â
Enjoy! Â Hugs, Fran
Are you getting ready for Christmas? Â The Paper Pros team is and we have some ideas for you! Â 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! Â 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! Â 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. Â Such a nice way to wish someone a Happy Holidays! Â Hugs, Fran

Oh Christmas Tree! Â Today the KB Design Team is charing cards made with the Karen Burniston Christmas Tree die! Â I started with a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card. Â I used one of the negative space trees and embossed it with the Stampin Up Tin embossing folder. Â The sentiment is the KB Merry Christmas die.
Inside is the tree being decorated by the little mice in the Karen Burniston Christmas Animals die set.
I die cut 4 mice so I could sandwich them at the end of the trees.
That way you see them no matter which way the card is turned.
Then I decided to make a more elegant tree card. Â This uses the Merry Christmas word die in Copper foil to match the foil in the Stampin Up Designer Series paper.
Inside I made a copper and white tree decorated with copper trim and sequins.
The ends and tree skirt are also copper.
Such a wonderful die! Â Hope you’ve enjoyed these cards. Â Don’t forget to check out the Karen Burniston blog on Wednesday where you can see all the designer Christmas tree cards! Â Hugs, Fran
It’s time for fall, y’all! Â I started with a KB Crosshatch circle and the Woodland Animals for this card! Â The greeting is the new Karen Burniston Autumn Words and leaves (lots and lots of leaves) are from the All Season Tree.
Inside I used the new Evergreen Pivot die to continue my screen. Â Remember what I said about lots of leaves?
These Woodland animals are collecting acorns and
this guy is sending love with your message! Â Make sure to check out the other great fall cards from the design team! Â Karen’s card will be posted tomorrow. Â Hugs, Fran

Holiday Cheer! Â I made a Christmas card for this challenge using Mama Elephant’s Little Elf Agenda and Karen Burniston’s Sleigh die! Â The card is 5 1/4 x 5 and the front also features the KB Outdoor Scenes and Nature Edges dies AND the new Merry Christmas die. Â The Merry Christmas is 3 layers stacked and covered with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents. Â These elves are getting ready to load the sleigh!
Inside I used the Sleigh die with all the elves busy, busy, loading away. Â The elves were colored with Copic markers and the sleigh is the SU Galvanized Metal paper and Real Red. Â Check out the other Paper Pro’s Holiday Cheer cards for some great inspiration! Â Hugs, Fran
