Hello my crafty friends and welcome to the November 2022 Designer Challenge. Karen Burniston challenged her Design Team with the theme: "SNOWMAN" - create a card with any of the Snowman. (Die ideas - 1012 Snowman Twist Circle, 1017 Snowman, 1213 Snowman Add-ons) Since It had been awhile since I'd played with the Woven Basket Pop Up, I decided to use that one (and re-watched Karen B's assembly video), then I chose the Snowman die I wanted to use. I have all the details on YouTube! I love how…

Hello and welcome! On my blog today is this fantastic pop-up card box! Karen Burniston recently added some templates to her online store that you can get which gives you the directions to make these absolutely, hands down, amazing pop-up card boxes. As soon as I seen the video she posted I went online to my nearest craft store and bought the patterned paper she used (because swoon!) and downloaded the instructions. I spent my entire weekend in my office making these amazing boxes! I wanted…

Hello and Welcome! Todays card was made for a very special kid. My best friends Daughter who just recently turned 11. She loves Lilo and Stitch and so when my bestie asked for a card to give her daughter, the first thing I thought of was a pop-up Stitch! I started with the Bitty Ball Pop-Up. I had some scrap cardstock that looked close to the color of Stitch. I luckily had just enough to make him. I cut out the belly pieces with a lighter cardstock and added a bit of "fur" the edges of his…

Hi, It's the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge time and this month we are to repost an older DC of our choice or make a New Inspired by an older challenge. I chose to gather inspiration form my Beach Day DC cards Shown Below. I decided to take some elements from each card and make a whole new card using the Surprise Ball Pop Up! Below is the front of my card. I decided to make a belly band for my card and decorate it with some of the inside elements. Below is the card opened up And a few…

Here's a peek at all the new dies in this release. My first card for the week uses a several of them (one is brand-new and three that contain dies that are not brand-new). The front of the card is pretty simple -- and uses snowflakes from Long Nature's Edges 2 and words from Word Set 13 - Snow. I tried the closure that…

Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge for December has each designer working with a different Pop 'n Cuts insert - fun idea!!... my insert was the House die, which I used in the Square Card with Ornate Edges base. I had in mind a gingerbread house, decorated with sweets, and I ended up doing a bit of hand-drawing to get the look I was after. For the top border, I used Tim Holtz Tinsel, and a tag from Karen's Gift Card Holder Framelits set, plus bits from my stash. (I didn't have the right…

I love to make pop up interactive cards and especially bitty ball animals with dies from Karen Burniston. In her newest release there is another Animal Add-ons die set (#3) that makes reindeer and penguins! I had so much fun playing with the new dies in this release as I show in my newest video here. In the video I show how to make this adorable penguin Happy New Year card step by step. Here are some more pictures showing the front and inside at different angles: The front is made with all…
