Karen Burniston June Challenge – The Great Outdoors

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

You are One of a Kind

Here’s a sparkly mermaid card for someone special.  I started with Karen Burniston’s Spinner Square die, the Princess and Mermaid die and the Outdoor scenes die – and lots of glitter paper!.  The background was stamped with Stampin Up’s Playful Backgrounds stamp and then I went all the little bubbles with glossy accents. The mermaids are wearing green glitter paper tails to go with the blue glitter paper wave.

Inside a mermaid pops out to wish the birthday girl a special day!

I love how this die works!  Hugs, Fran
