The Paper Pros challenge this month is Food and Drink and I have a cute KB Circle Charm for you.  I started with some new SU paper – Broadway Bound – and the Karen Burniston Circle Charm die and Coffee Charms.  The cupcake is fussy cut from the paper but you could also use the KB Birthday Charms die to make one 🙂

Inside the Birthday Charm Charm cupcake is suspended in the middle.  The sentiment is from SU Happy Birthday Gorgeous.

Here’s a closer look and the center with the “lights” turned down so the vibrant colors don’t knock your eyes out!  Make sure to check out the other Pros and we eat, drink and be merry this month!.  Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston June Challenge – The Great Outdoors

KB Outdoor Scene, KB Tent Pop Up, KB Tropical Scenes
5 Comments

This month the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is The Great Outdoors!  I started with a 5 x 7 card base and decorated it with the Tropical Scene and Outdoor Scenes dies.  The sentiment is a new Stampin Up set called Stitched All Around and is backed with the new KB Rectangle Cross Hatch dies.  The little monkey is from Mama Elephant’s Little Monkey Agenda.

Inside I used both the Kb Palm Tree and new Tent pop ups! And lots of monkeys!  It’s easy to combine both these dies on this size card.  You just need to make sure they don’t catch on each other as they open and close.

Some of the monkeys are attached directly to the tent and tree and others are glued to the Baker’s twine.  This is done by die cutting 2 monkeys and sandwiching them between the twine.

I attached two small Palm trees by using the extra piece in the Tent Pop Up die.  I just attached these to the base of the Palm Tree. This was a fun card to make.  Check out the other designers now and see Karen’s challenge card on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

I am using up some very, very old paper and making birthday cards!

Doesn’t really matter what paper you use, the Karen Burniston Cake Pop up makes them awesome 🙂  This one sits on a Stampin Up doily (which is hard to see in a photo.)

 

The trim is done with the Cake Trim die and glitter paper.  Something pretty for my stash.  Hugs, Fran

Inside the monkeys are are having a great time swinging from Palm Tree Pop Ups!  Each monkey is colored with Copic markers.

I also used the Tropical Scenes die for the base of the Tag Book.  I just added some trees to the stabilizing pieces.

There are a few monkeys hiding in other places too 🙂  Lots of fun!  Hugs, Fran

This 5 x 5  card is done with the Brutus Monroe Rose Border heat embossed with gold powder across the front. It’s such an elegant image!

I paired it with the Karen Burniston Katherine Label popping up the sentiment.  The Rose Border continues across the bottom of the card, set off with gold foil.

Look how detailed this image is!

The sentiment is Stampin Up and looks beautiful moving across the card as it’s opened.  The embossed background is Stampin Up.  Make sure to check back tomorrow for a give away!  Hugs, Fran

Today I have a sneak peek of Karen Burniston’s new Circle Charm die.  This 5 x 5 card starts with the Circle Charm die and the Word Set  2.  I cut Happy Birthday twice and shaped them around the circle opening and covered them with Glossy Accents.  The little flamingo is a charm (Beach Charms) that I adhered flat to the front.

Inside I added the flip flops to the center on a piece of silver thread and the palm tree to the final circle.  What a fun die!  These are available for pre-order now!  Hugs, Fran

KB Riley – Brutus Monroe – Cat Life

KB Twist Panel Pop Up
Comments

This Brutus Monroe set is called Cat Life – and isn’t it cute!  It made me think of the cartoon pages in the newspaper.  So I decided to do this card in black and white.  The front has sections showing off the cats and their antics.

I used my gray Copics to color the animals.

Inside features the Karen Burniston Twist Panel die!  It’s a great die to use with a scene 🙂

The card winds up with “You are my favorite human!”  Cute!  Remember that there will be a give away on Thursday!  Hugs, Fran

This week the Karen Burniston Design Team is teaming up with Brutus Monroe!  For this card I used the cute stamp set called Balloon Animals and the wonderful KB die – Katherine Label!

I stamped and colored the Dog and several hot air balloons for the front.  The puppy’s head has been popped up on foam.  The circles and trim are from the Snowman Twist die from Karen Burniston.

The inside shows the Puppy flying across the sky 🙂  I finished the card off with more hot air balloons and a greeting from the KB Word Set 1.  Stay with us this week because there will be a give away on Thursday! So fun!  Hugs, Fran
