September Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge – In The Wild!

Cards
2 Comments

This month the Design Challenge is to make an animal card using the Surprise Ball and the Bitty Ball! Here’s what I made.

I started with a large base card – this is 5 1/2 x 7. The background is a Lawn Fawn Brick Stencil with dye inks and some Distressed Oxides to make the green around it. I used a Crosshatch Circle with the Celebrate die and the Alphabet dies to create the sentiment. The flowers are from the Backyard Charms.

I used magnets on the inside to hold this card closed, and it closes really flat!

When you open the card, the hippos are kissing!

You can run them to the front and read the message I created on my computer.

The bottom halves are the Surprise Balls and the tops are the Bitty Balls. I also used the Animal Add On 2 to create the hippos.

Hope you enjoy the card! Make sure to check out the other team members designs. Karen’s post will be on Wednesday! Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston August Challenge- Fun on the Farm

KB Barn
Comments

This is a perfect challenge for me because my youngest is getting married on our farm this fall! I started with the Happily Ever After die and a flower punch to create a shower card. This card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2.

Inside I have the Barn die with the bride and groom from the Cake die on the doors. These doors are so much fun because the open and close. I also added a banner using the Cake Trim die and Birds from the Outdoor Scenes die.

The little wreath is from the Christmas Animals die. Lots of fun! Make sure to check out the other Farm cards for this challenge. And don’t miss Karen’s card which will be posted tomorrow! Hugs, Fran

Happily Ever After

KB Cake Pop Up, KB Cake Trim, Wedding
Comments

The wedding season is here and I have a pretty card for the newlyweds.  This is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card made with the Karen Burniston Happily Ever After word die and her Cake trim die.  I used Gold foil paper and the Fabulous Foil Designer Series acetate.

Inside is the KB Cake Pop Up die done in gold.  The sentiment is Stampin Up’s Special Celebrations, heat embossed in gold. The acetate is attached under the trim, cake and sentiment boxes.

The cake uses the Bundle of Joy specialty paper and the beautiful trim is Gold foil using the KB Cake Trim die.  It’s a shiny card!  Hugs, Fran

I had a piece of card stock that I’d stamped with the Saleabration set Avant Garden left over from another project and I decided to die cut some letters from it.  “Love” fit on the paper (!) so that’s what I went with!  After die cutting the letters from the Large Letter die, I adhered it to a Whisper White stitched rectangle and mounted it on a larger Stitched rectangle with a piece of Blushing Bride. I added the sentiment from Best Birds in Early Espresso.    Hugs, Fran

This card is 6 x 6 and  the middle square is edged in pearls.  The bride and groom are separate charms, so you can use them as you need them!  The sentiments are from Karen’s new Best Wishes Clear stamp. I kept my card “postcard style” – with a white back so I can write a nice message.

The card stock is the beautiful Irresistibly Yours from Stampin Up! and it has beautiful patterns embossed on them – hard to see.  It’s all tied off with white satin ribbon.  Hope you’ll find lots of uses for these darling charms.  I will!  (hint, hint!)  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful Ride 01

This is my take on the Beautiful Ride card shown on page 15 in the Occasions Catalog. I used Pacific Point and Pool Party. (I believe the sample is Bermuda Bay and Pool Party – but hey!) I stamped the car in Pacific Point on Pool Party yardstick and added some color using a blender pen.  The suitcases were colored with Stampin Write Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the top of the card.  Hugs, Fran

Chilly 02 front

The front of this 5 x 5 card features the new Back to Black Designer Series Paper and the set Something to Say.  The inside has Mr and Mrs Chilly in their bridal splendor sitting on top of Karen Burniston’s new Lorna Label Pop it Ups die.  If you look closely, you’ll see that she is sporting a bridal veil and he is wearing his glitter glasses!  To get the different paper on the Lorna Label, I simply cut the DSP off of the label, flipped it over and used the reverse side! To make the writing surface for the inside, just die cut a large heart to carry out the theme.
