Here’s another Halloween idea using Karen Burniston’s House Pivot die and Stampin Up’s Holiday Home. The tree and clouds are from Karen’s Garden Bench set. (The clouds are really suppose to be snow)

The sentiment inside is from Ghoulish Greetings. Lots of black – making it hard to see the details in the photograph.

Here’s Poppy hanging out for Karen Burniston’s September Challenge! He’s sitting on an Oval Accordion die just waiting for the fun to begin! The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Tee Hee Hee and it says “People call me a witch…..like it’s a bad thing.” Too funny! I used Karen’s Cloud Edges die for the edges.

It suddenly turned Fall around here this weekend! A perfect time for Karen Burniston’s Halloween challenge – and a great time to start creating those spooky creations. I used the Accordion Circle die with the solid edge and the new Tee Hee Hee set from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini. On the front, the cauldron, bubbling away. (Those bubbles are some old floral/vase fillers)

Do you think the witch was doing her laundry before the big day? Or just conjuring up her spooky attire?

Ink – Memento Tux Black, Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizzazz

Day 2 of the “Character Challenge!” Here is Poppy – a character die from Karen Burniston – playing with his photo props! He has a bowler hat, glasses, lips and mustache to hide his true identity. The background is stamped with Stampin Up’s Chevron and Dictionary background stamps with some Epic Day washi tape and Candy Dots to set it off. The “Guess Who” was stamped with the new SU Alphabet rotary stamp. And when Poppy’s mask comes off –

There he is – looking dapper. Each item from Karen’s Props 1 dies was attached to a strip of Crumb Cake card stock, stacked, and then attached to Poppy’s wing with a mini brad. And here’s one more Poppy idea for those prize winning papers your children are sure to be bringing home from school this year –

Poppy the scholar! I die cut 5 backgrounds to make him nice and strong and adhered this to a clothespin with a magnet on back. Now he’s ready to stick on the refrigerator to collect art work, homework, test – you name it! Make sure to check out Karen’s blog tomorrow or hop over now to her Facebook page to see all the challenge designs! Hugs, Fran

Today is Challenge day for the Karen Burniston Design Team! This month we were challenged to use the characters – Chilly, Hoppy and Poppy! On this project I used Chilly to decorate a jar for gift giving. There are 6 Chillies around this blue Bell jar and some sweet snowflakes from Karen’s Garden Bench die. I added rhinestones so he could have some bling.

I used Stampin Up’s Oh My Goodies to make the label for the top which matches the Deco Label Collection Framelits – that were designed by Karen! Stamped in Real Red and then again in Basic Black, the center is punch with an oval punch and popped up. I tied the rim with some Real Red cotton ribbon. Then I filled the jar with peppermints!

Next I made a card using Stampin Up’s new In Colors and Flowerpot Designer Series paper. Again I used Oh My Goodies and the Deco Label Collection for the front. The edges of the card are done using two of Karen’s Agatha edges.

And inside is Hoppy on Karen’s Lorna Label PopUp. He’s sitting by his pond with a Stampin’ Up’s Just Sayin die cut with the Chalk Talk dies. Hoppy comes with his own lily pad and flies! I attached the flies to some fishing line and mounted them between the lily pads.

The flower is from Stampin Up’s Flower Patch (that also has a matching Framelit set.) Hoppy is done in Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. His “pond” is in Lost Lagoon. Hope you are enjoying meeting the characters! Check out the rest of the gang by visiting Karen’s Facebook page and seeing what the rest of the team has created! And come back tomorrow to see what’s going on with Poppy! Hugs, Fran

I have one more project to sneak in for Karen Burniston’s July Challenge! This uses the Ring Accordion die and the Evergreen Pivot Card tree. And to top it off, the card stock is Stampin Up’s Silver Foil and Red Glimmer paper – sparkly!

Here it is all opened up. I die cut the trees using an adhesive sheet on top of the Whisper White paper – and the embossed images on the trees came through – cool. The ornament top is part of Ring Accordion die.

Supplies

Stamp Set – More Merry Messages

Card stock – Silver Foil, Red Glimmer, Whisper White

Ink – Real Red

Etc – Karen Burniston’s Ring Accordion and Evergreen Pivot Card dies, Glitter and adhesive sheet Elizabeth Craft Designs, small heart punch

The temperature really dropped here today! It makes it easier to think “Christmas cards!” Hugs, Fran

Here’s a Christmas card using Karen Burnistion’s Evergreen Pivot Card die and a very cool idea for making it a Triple Pivot. I used Stampin Up new Mossy Meadow card stock and the beautiful Shimmery White card stock along with some Red Glimmer paper. The large tree on the front was cut separately.

When you open it you get an entire forest! The bottom “snow” area was cut with the Outdoor Edges die.

Supplies

Stamp Set -Stampin Up Christmas Messages

Card stock – Mossy Meadow, Shimmery White, Red Glimmer paper, Real Red

Ink – Real Red

Etc – Karen Burniston’s Evergreen Pivot Card, Spiral Circle Pull Card (for the snowflakes) and Outdoor Edges dies, Distressed Dots embossing folder, rhinestones, washi tape

While it looks so impressive, it really isn’t that hard to make. You could use this one for someone very special or make a bunch of them! Hugs, Fran

The Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for this month is Christmas in July. Here’s a snowy white Christmas card touched with a hint of silver combining one of Karen’s newest dies -Outdoor Edges-and one of Stampin Up’s newest photopolymer sets – Christmas Bliss.

To make this card, I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White using the Large Polka Dot embossing folder. Stamp the greeting in Versamark on another piece of Whisper White and emboss with silver embossing powder. Die cut the top with the tree from the Outdoor Edges die and then die cut a scrap of Silver Foil card stock with the same die. Layer the two pieces together so just a hint of silver shows. Tie a piece of the beautiful Silver ribbon around this piece and adhere to the Large Polka Dot piece with Dimensionals. Attach to a 4 1/4 x 11 front. On the inside I layered a piece of Whisper White onto a piece a of Silver Foil, heat emboss the sentiment from Christmas Bliss and adhere to the inside.

Supplies

Stamp Set – Christmas Bliss (138897)

Cardstock – Whisper White, Silver Foil

Ink – Versamark

Etc – Karen Burniston’s Outdoor Edges, SU Large Polka Dot embossing folder, Silver Satin Ribbon

And there you have it – Christmas in July! Hugs, Fran

Shaker Up Baby

Baby We've Grown, Cards, Circle Accordion Album, Something to Say

1 Comment

This little Circle Accordion album (Karen Burniston) uses Baby We’ve Grown on the front with a little rose and some punched leaves. The pacifier in the corner is from my stash – no idea where it’s from! I do love the bunny in this set!

Open it shows the shaker piece in the middle and a sentiment from Something to Say. To make the shaker, I die cut a circle from the center of the accordion piece. Then I die cut 2 circle from acetate and sewed around them, leaving a small opening at the top which I filled with punched stars and hearts. I added some pink micro beads and glued the opening shut with glue dots. Attaching it to the opening with glue dots, I made a separate ring to finish off the back.

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Baby We’ve Grown, Something to Say

Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Soft Subtles DSP, Silver Glimmer paper, Melon Mambo

Ink – Memento Tux Black

Etc – Circle Accordion Album (Karen Burniston), Itty Bitty Accessories pack, micro beads, Hearts Border punch, Bird punch

I fully intended to use the Ring Accordion Album to make this card, but grabbed the other and half way through before I realized what I had done! Silly me! But I’m happy with how it turned out. Hugs, Fran

Here’s an idea for a birthday invitation using Karen Burniston’s Spiral Circle Pull Card and the cute Poppy die. The Pull Card is so neat because it has tabs to hold the front together. First I die cut the card and then I stamped the front with Hardwood (what a great stamp!) I added a gear to the front of the Clock and Gears die and put Poppy on the front holding some balloons. The sentiment was done in My Digital Studio and punched with the ticket punch.
