Quench Your Thirst

It’s a coffee card using the Natures Edges dies and the both crabs.

Because coffee at the beach sounds wonderful to me :). The pop up coffee cup die and more crabs adorn the inside.

Or a sweet gal on a coffee run

Or just coffee and friends!

Any way you use this die – it’s fun! Make sure to check out the other designs today. Karen will post tomorrow Hugs, Fran

Bunny Ears for March

Today is the Karen Burniston Design Team challenge – Bunny Ears!

I started with a large base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and the large Woven Basket die. I filled it with flowers from all sorts of die sets and added a little bunny on a wobble piece. Happy Easter is also featured on the front.

Inside is a cute bunny that can come out of the card.

That way he can be on display with the card front.

His whiskers are made with white embroidery floss that I ran through some glue and let dry.

Make sure to check out all the designers! Karen’s card will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

Naughty or Nice?

It’s always nice to see the monthly designer challenge for Karen Burniston Pop Up dies! This month the challenge is to use a stocking.

I used the Stocking die and Christmas Animals to decorate the front. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, Santa Paws. I used a die from Gingerbread House Tiny Add Ons to die cut the sentiment.

Inside, the stocking is filled with the mouse and his friend. The Fireplace Add on is the border across the top. I used the Holiday Charms for the branches in the stocking and the Winter Charms for the Tree and snowflake. The Surprise Cube has the little stars.

Lots of fun with this challenge! Make sure to check out all the other designer’s cards. Karen’s video will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

What’s Cooking?

Today is the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge using the Oven die.

I started with a 5 x 5 inch card base and used the Baking Charms to decorate the front. The circle is cut with the Circle die.

The embossing folder and the sentiment are from Spellbinders.

Inside is Christmas baking!

Cookies inside the oven.

Make sure to check out the other designers! Karen video will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge for August

This month’s challenge was to use the landscape accordion. I chose to add the new Fence and Cupcake dies to my projects.

For the fence card I also used the Garden Charms die.

The “sign” on the right is 2 squares with a hand cut stand. It’s a great place for a message.

I also made a cupcake card.

For the last part of the card I used solid card stock and the Happy Birthday die.

The cupcake sprinkles are inlaid.

Make sure to check out all the designer cards. Karen’s will card will be posted on. Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston July Design Team Challenge

The challenge this month is to use the paper from the Echo Park Best Summer Ever paper pack. I used the Twist Flower die to make my card.

I created a slimline card using the paper and elements from the paper pack.

Inside I popped up a few of the sticker elements on the Twist Flower die. I also used the Circle die to create an area for a message.

The sentiment strip also keeps the center elements from catching on the outside of the circle!

Make sure to check out the rest of the design team’s cards. Karen will post on Wednesday . Hugs, Fran
