Mini Slimline – Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge

Cards
15 Comments

Mini Slimlines are so fun to make and send! The new Landscape Rectangle Accordion die makes it easy. I decorated mine with the Cow and Goat die to create a farm landscape card for a BIG birthday! I also used the Birthday Charms die to create the hats and packages.

The numbers came from the Numbers die set and the fence is from Farm Edges.

The Happy Birthday die fit perfectly.

This will be a great card for a big celebration! Make sure to check out all the other designer’s cards. Karen video will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

Happy Birthday Karen Burniston! Blog Hop

Someone special has a birthday today and we decided to wish her well with a blog hop! It’s Karen Burniston’s birthday! I started with a slimline card – 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 – using the My Favorite Things stamp set called Best Fins.

Inside I used the Katherine Label die! It fits nicely in a slimline card. The sand is cut with the Natures Edges die and the sentiment block is a Cross Hatch circle. This was a fun card to make and I hope it helps to make Karen’s day special! Follow along on the Hop below! Hugs, Fran

Two Folds Challenge

Cards
3 Comments

The Karen Burniston Design Team challenge for July is Two Folds! Here’s what I made 🙂

I started with a 5 x 7 Gatefold card and lots of cute trains from the Train Pivot die. The circle is from he crosshatch Circle and the sentiment is from the Train Elements die. This is held closed with magnets.

When you open it, you have the Train Pivots and the Rocket die creating a fun birthday scene!

Here you can see how the Rocket flies above the Train. Those balloons are from the Explosion die.

The circle from the front not only holds the card closed, it also acts as a place to write your message.

Here you can see how the Train Pivot pops up too. It was lots of fun to create!

Make sure to check out the other Design Team members creations for this challenge. Karen’s video will be up on Wednesday! Hugs, Fran

More Cake

Piece of Cake

This is a little 4 x 4 enclosure card for a birthday gift. The background is done with the Buffalo Check background stamp set in Pumpkin Pie and the lines are drawn with a Night of Navy Stampin Blend. The cake is also colored with the Blends and Wink of Stella is liberally slathered all over the cake 🙂 I added some little details with a white gel pen to finish off the look. It’s all matted up with a scallop circle! Hugs, Fran

It’s so much fun to celebrate birthdays and the Piece of Cake stamp set in the Occasions catalog makes that easy! I stamped a line of cakes across a long card and colored them in with Stampin Blends. The little sentiment is popped up on the side, but the highlight is the cakes! Hugs, Fran

Special Animal Outing

Animal Outings

I used the Stampin Up Animal Outing set with the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel die to create this birthday card. You turn the spinner and the sentiment changes. The rhino is colored is Copics and the balloon is the punch.

Just something fun for someone special 🙂 Hugs, Fran

Monster Birthday

KB Cupcake Pop Up

What a Monster Birthday card!  I started with the Gerda Steiner set Monster Fun and colored up the images using my Copic markers.  I fussy cut the images and added the blue monster with his daily mocha and some presents to the front.

Inside I used the Karen Burniston Cupcake Pop Up die and the rest of the cute images to make a birthday card.  The dots on the paper where punched – just needed a bit more interest.  Super fun!   Hugs, Fran

 

Paper Pros May Challenge – No Socks Day

Birthday, KB Twist Panel Pop Up
2 Comments

The Paper Pros have a fun May Challenge – No Socks Day!  I decided to use some cute Mo Manning fairies and Karen Burniston’s Twist Panel die for my card.

These cute images are enjoying the sunshine – and no socks 🙂  Colored with Copic markers with shimmer pen on their wings, the little fairies spread across the Twist Panel.  The pretty scalloped circle piece is a retired KB die.

Make sure to check out the other Paper Pros – and their toes 🙂  Hugs, Fran
