Witchy Gnome Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge

It’s time for a Halloween Design Team Challenge! I used the Bitty Ball and the Mini Ball Add ons Gnomes to create a spooky fun card.

On the outside I used the Simon Says Stamp Halloween Gnomes stamp set and an inked and splattered background.

I have the Gnome Witch popped up on a mini action wobbler!

Inside I created the witchy gnome! So fun!

I used the Autumn Elements, Skeleton and Bats, and Happy Halloween dies to decorate the inside.

I also did an inky background for the inside.

Enjoy the card and don’t forget to check out all the other designers. Karen will post tomorrow. Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston February Designer Challenge – Love Sweet Love

February is the month of Love, Sweet Love, and the Design Team has some sweet cards for you! I started with a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card showing off the Karen Burniston Ice Cream Sundae die. The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp die/stamp called Love You Like.

Aren’t the Ice Cream Cones cute? I added the face to coordinate with the patterned paper.

Inside is the Ice Cream Sundae pop up mechanism with all the lovely designer pieces! The bowl and spoon have a great emboss on them! I also used the KB Border Blends Party die to make the accent border. The movement with this die is amazing.

That spoon really moves as the card is opened!

Isn’t love sweet? Check out Karen’s blog post tomorrow to see her card and all the design teams creations! Hugs, Fran

Christmas in July Pop It Ups Designer Challenge

PIU Jolly 01 front

 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – a new collection of dies from Karen Burniston!  This is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2″ card.  Big enough to hold all the wonderful Christmas joy inside 🙂 The sentiment is a retired SU stamp, Christmas Messages,  and the paper is the new Merry Moments Designer Series paper.  The swirl across the front is from the new Merry Christmas Pop Ups die.

And inside meet Jolly the Mouse!  He and his friend are decorating the new Pop It Ups Christmas Trees Pop Stand!  The tree is so much fun to put together!  You can use it alone – or with any of the new characters as I’ve done here.

This is a better view of the mice.  I snipped off their tails and tucked them behind them so they wouldn’t stick out of the card.

Head over to Karen’s Facebook page to see what the rest of the team is doing with these new dies and get a head start on your Christmas Pop It Ups!  Hugs, Fran

Groovy Baby March Designer Challenge

Bombs Away Birthday 02

 

Today is the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for March – Funny Cards!  I started with Whiskers the Cat, the Oval and Rectangular Accordion dies and Flashback Designer Series paper.  Whiskers is looking pretty sharp in his 70’s garb and bling glasses!  His scarf is the collar with a hand cut little piece at the end. “Groovy” is from Groovy Love.
