What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Monkeys in love! To make this card, I started with the new Karen Burniston Monkey and Lion die set. The base is the Long Rectangle – Crosshatch die.
The barrel was made with the post from the new Mailbox die. I stacked them together and die cut that using the Crosshatch Oval die.
Inside I used the Katherine Label die to hang a monkey from a heart. The stamped heart and sentiments are from Simon Says Stamp’s Love Greetings Mix. Hugs, Fran

My card for the blog hop uses the Good Luck Charms and Happy Saint Patrick’s Day die sets.
I made an opening using the Crosshatch Circle die. To fit it through my die cut machine, I die cut it closed and then added a separate piece on the back.
The sentiment has shamrock dies that fit in perfectly.
The charms are so cute! I glued the dies back to back so it looks the same on both sides.
The charms dangle through the circle!

Karen Burniston has a new release coming next week and it’s filled with fun new dies for lots of occasions! Today I’m sharing the Butterfly Collage Add Ons die.
I started with the Slim Rectangle Crosshatch, Oval Crosshatch, Border Blends Trim and the Butterfly Collage Add ons.
Happy Spring is my sentiment, even though I’m surrounded by snow at the moment!
Inside the Butterflies explode across the card! This die moves like crazy!
I added another Crosshatch Oval for my message.
This is a close up of the butterflies. Some of them move while the mechanism is moving. It’s really lovely!
There are lots of wonderful dies that work with this mechanism (found in the Hearts Collage die set.). Take a look at the sneak peek page and get ready for a great release! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a cute Slimline box card with little snowmen celebrating the season. You can find the snowmen in the Snowmen dies from Karen Burniston. I used all 110 pound card stock on this card and it’s very sturdy. The center was die cut using the Long Rectangle Slimline dies with the Long Nature Edges die in front and back. The frame around the opening is 3 layers and adds a lot of stability.
You can see the dimension here. The sentiment is a strip from Simon Says Stamp Reverse Holiday.
Hopefully this shows you the construction. The front and back are 4 x 11 white card stock scored from each end at 1/2 inch and 1 inch. It was fun to make! Hugs, Fran
Today is challenge day for Karen Burniston Design Team. We are showcasing her NEW slimline dies in an Autumn theme. I used the Long Rectangles Crosshatch die, Holiday House die, Long Nature Edges and the little tree from the Oval Frames die.
Going with a rainbow theme, I used the same colors on the trees and wreathes. The wreaths have Nuvo drops on them.
Inside I used the Home Sweet Home die. I also created a similar card with a winter theme!
Think of all the seasons! :).
And here’s another take on the same design. This one uses just one house and the Winter Charms die.
I added the word “season” from the Holiday Word Set 3.
Hope this gives you some ideas for Slimlines! Make sure to check out the other designers ideas! Karen’s video will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran
Slimline cards are so much fun! There’s a lot of room to decorate :). I started with the new slimline dies from Karen Burniston (Long Rectangle Crosshatch) and decorated the front with the new Holiday Charms.
The sentiment is from Word Set 3 Holiday Greetings. The words are ornaments are built up with additional card stock.
Inside is the Katherine Label popping up with a branch and ornament. So fun to watch it move! Hugs, Fran
