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
The holidays are coming – and fast! Today is the November Challenge for the Karen Burniston Design Team and we are accordion dies to make holiday cards. I chose the Charm Accordion die and Winter Charms!
I started with the Simon Says Stamp Candy Cane Background and embossed it in white over the entire card. Then I added the Winter Charms and Holiday Greetings from Karen Burniston.
I used the Charms for the small and large images.
The hanging charms are tied on with linen thread. The “icing” is white gel pen.
The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp Christmas Squad – worked great! Make sure to check out the rest of the team’s creations. Karen will post her’s tomorrow. Hugs, Fran
Today the Karen Burniston Design Team is working with Pear Blossom Press to create a fun, light up card! And there are prizes! I started with a plaid stamp on red card stock and some darling gingerbread men from the Christmas Charms die set.
I stacked the gingerbread men 3 high to give them some dimension and punched a 2 1/2″ circle punch from the red to make a “plate.”
Inside I used the Ice Cream Sundae die and the Castle to create a gingerbread scene. The Train and Train Elements dies create the bottom. To do the fun lights, the Press are is in the bottom left and the string goes up to the windows. These are fun and easy lights to use because one battery holds 3 lights – and it’s all ready to use! (No copper tape!)
So you just press on the circle and the castle lights up!
Here’s the train bringing your presents! Too cute! Enjoy all the Karen Burniston / Pear Blossom Press creations!

Thoughts of Christmas bring yummy treats to mind and today we are celebrating gingerbread AND a new die – the Tag Book die –
1023 Tag Book I started with Real Red and a cute image from Whimsy Stamps made into a little shaker.
Inside is a scene of a Gingerbread family getting ready for Christmas. I used the gingerbread men and Christmas tree from the Winter Charm die set. I chose to stencil the faces that are included with the die. The package and wreath are from the Sleigh die.
Isn’t this die fun? It measures 3 x 6 and can be mailed. And it’s so easy to put together! (Big plus this time of year!)
On the back I add another tag with a holly punch design as a space to write a message. Have fun seeing all the other gingerbread creations! Hugs, Fran
