Todays challenge is to make a card that uses a die twice – double double. I started with a 5 x 5 base and used a Tropical Scenes die to make the scallop and the Flap Closure die to make the tie part. :).
Even with the “double die” insert, it’s incredibly flat. (Kind of a sneak peek!)
And inside is a cute little piggy! Made with the Surprise Ball, this pig is holding a cupcake and ready to celebrate. Here are some notes – the ears are from the Mermaid die and the hands and feet are from the Barn die (sliding door).
I used the You’re Sweet die to decorate the inside, along with a banner from the cupcake die. I forgot to show you the tail! Its the swirl also found in the cupcake die set! Make sure to check out the rest of the team’s creations! Karen’s video will be up tomorrow. Hugs, Fran
Here’s a fun Valentine using the Karen Burniston Photo Collage and Love Charms dies. I started with the Honey Bee Hearts and Scallop Hearts and used the KB You’re Sweet die to decorate the front. The scallop on the side is made using the KB Tropical Scene die. The little heart with an arrow is from the Love Charms die.
I die cut all the Love Charms 4 times – from white, red, pink and blue green cardstock – and put them all together. Then all I needed to do was put them together in their photo pieces.
The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Word Mix 2. It creates a lot of Valentines phrases which I just keep on my desk in a bowl. Have fun creating! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a fun Valentine from the beach! This is a 5 x 5 card featuring the fun Karen Burniston Sea Animals and Ocean Animals. I started with a background using 2 Lawn Fawn XOXO Backdrops: Landscape. The scene was built on a 4 1/2 inch circle using the Karen Burniston Tropical Scene die. Those sweet urchins are holding die cuts from Love Charms.
The crabs were die cut from red yardstick and highlighted with Copic markers and the shark was die cut from white and colored with Copics. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn’s Love Poems.
Inside I used the KB Katherine Label die and popped Happy Valentines Day and another shark up. The circle at the bottom is die cut with the Crosshatch Circle.
The heart shaped splashes around the shark are coated with Glossy Accents.
Might be a fun idea to send to or from the beach! Hugs, Fran
Belated Happy New Year and welcome to the Karen Burniston challenge for January – hearts! I used the Hearts Pivot die two different ways.
First I used some red striped vellum and the Argyle Border strip die to make this card front. Excuse the vellum which wants to photo with a greenish cast! The trim is the from the Argyle Border cut from red metallic paper- the heart border and the scallop top. I also die cut a circle with the Cross Hatch Circle from Red metallic paper. The hearts are cut with the dies from the Heart Pivot dies from some scrap of paper that was left over from a Spellbinders Glimmer project. Great way to use any scraps or patterned paper!
The sentiment is from the Happy Valentine’s Day die using silver metallic paper. I used fun foam to pop up the words.
The inside repeats the elements from the front. The sentiment is from the Love die. Tip – the vellum is adhered at each short end with the skinny (1/8″ wide) double sided tape. )
For this card I used a stencil from my stash and Nuvo Garnet Red Glimmer paste. For the sentiment I again used the Happy Valentine’s Day die and an Oval Crosshatch. The border is the Argyle Border die.
Inside I used the hearts on the Heart Pivot on the Twist Panel die. Again the hearts are from the Argyle die and the background is made from more stenciled pieces. Sentiments are from the Love die.
Lots of fun! Check out the rest of the team’s creations. Karen’s will be posted on Wednesday ! Hugs, Fran
So it’s very shiny and folded up tight. What is it? It’s a surprise! A Surprise Pop Up Ball, that it. I started with the the Flap Closure die and made a 5 x 5 glittery snow ball enclosure
Inside I added some Mama Elephant and Simon Says Stamp stamps. Everyone is outside playing.
It’s very sparkly in real life. Hope this gives you an idea of how it looks. This is a fun die. Make sure to check out all the other designer’s cards and look for Karen’s on Wednesday! Hugs, Fran
Working on Christmas cards! This one starts with the Karen Burniston Merry Christmas die – keeping it simple. The sentiment is stacked 3 high for a bit of dimension. I also added the push pin from the photo collage die.
Inside are the reindeers on the photo collage pop up. The images are from Mama Elephant – Reindeer Agenda – and colored with Copic Markers. Each one has a hand written name under it. The snowflakes are from the Winter Charms and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Holiday Greeting Mix 1. Hugs, Fran
There are new dies coming to the Karen Burniston world and a HOP with a prize!
Today I’m sharing one of my favorites! Take a look at the new Gift Box Pivot die!
This card starts with the Crosshatch Circle die and Mama Elephant’s Christmas Spirit stamp set and dies. The sentiment is white heat embossed from Simon Says Stamp’s Holiday Greetings Mix 1. All the images are colored with Copic Markers.
I alternated the dimension on the elves using die cut fun foam.
Inside is where the fun is located! The Gift Box Pivot makes a great background for this scene!
I decorated the panels and the frame around it with more images from the stamp set.
The Gift Boxes have darling bows and gift tags!

The holidays are coming – and fast! Today is the November Challenge for the Karen Burniston Design Team and we are accordion dies to make holiday cards. I chose the Charm Accordion die and Winter Charms!
I started with the Simon Says Stamp Candy Cane Background and embossed it in white over the entire card. Then I added the Winter Charms and Holiday Greetings from Karen Burniston.
I used the Charms for the small and large images.
The hanging charms are tied on with linen thread. The “icing” is white gel pen.
The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp Christmas Squad – worked great! Make sure to check out the rest of the team’s creations. Karen will post her’s tomorrow. Hugs, Fran
