Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Hat Attack

Don't loose your head, because it's time for Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge! It's a Hat Attack!  Karen challenged the team to use any hat from any of her Props sets on our cards.  I was watching a video from Els van de Burgt when I got the idea to use the Ring Accordion to make a double slider card.  It's so fun to watch both Whiskers slide around the card.  

Turn the card a little bit and Whiskers will slide up and around.  I kept the pivot points because I didn't want a collision of the Whiskers - but you can also cut the pivot points off and Whiskers will go full circle.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to mimic my friends' cats.  Yes, I know one cat has one blue eye and one green eye - this card was made especially for her and her kitties.....and yes, he does have different colored eyes in real life.

And because I know curious minds want to know how......here's a photo.  I die cut some fun foam using the Ring Accordion die, cut away a channel large enough for the circle washers to move along.  This piece doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to function.  The foam in the center channel is what the die will cut and typically would not be needed; however I simply cut it shorter and used it as my slider.  I sandwiched that piece with (2) 3/4" circle punches and then adhered Whiskers to the top.  

For the inside, I used Happy Birthday Pop Up, Props 2, and Pull Card Edges.  What cat lover wouldn't love to receive this card?

Check out Karen's blog tomorrow as she will have a video tutorial for her "Hat Attack"!

Ring Accordion

I love the new cupcake from Elizabeth Craft Designs so much that I thought it would be the perfect embellishment for this Ring Accordion card.  I had the perfect stamp too!

I die cut 3 Ring Accordions and various pieces of Fitted Fancy Frames 5 - Lace Circles to create this super cute card.  I just love that there are so many different sized in the Fitted Fancy Frames and they fit the Ring Accordion too!

Happy Stampin',

Queen of the Universe

I was asked to make a thank you card for a teacher at my son's school.  I made the globe using Karen Burniston's Ring Accordion and Eiffel Tower Pop Stand.  The crown is from Elizabeth Craft Designs' Stocking Solid die.  I die cut the "Thank You" three times and adhered them together for added height.  The globe is computer generated colored using colored pencils.

I also decorated the envelope and inside of the card to match.



Happy Stampin',

Mixed Accordions

I used Fancy Frame Accordion, Star Accordion Album & Ring Accordion for the bases.  I will be teaching how to make a similar mixed Accordion at Stamp Boutique this March.

I used Elizabeth Craft Designs' Alphabet 1 to create the sentiment "I Dig You".  This mixed Accordion can easily be used for photos by putting your favorite beach photos on the reverse side.

I also wanted to experiment with mixed frame edges, so I used Fancy Frame Edges & Star Fancy Frame Edges.

Happy Crafting,
