Karen Burniston Challenge

It's time for our friendly Karen Burniston challenge!  This month our theme is "Flowers, Butterflies, and Spring".  I was gifted some gorgeous patterned paper by one very special lady and when I saw this purple glitter paper I was overjoyed!  I immediately thought to make them into purple sparkly butterflies for this challenge!
I kept the front simple and let my sentiment and sparkly butterflies take center stage.  The sentiment is from Karen Burniston's Occasions Clear Stamp Set and it's stamped onto a Labels & Circles die cut.

 For the inside, I used Anita Frames and some more sparkly butterflies.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Accessories and they cut through the thick glitter paper easily.What's great about the Anita Frames die set is that it comes with lots of coordinating dies that makes decorating your card very easy.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Party Animals

It's time to party with Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge!  The Party Animals theme was set by Sandy Diller.  I got the idea for this card from a card that I had received for my birthday.  The card had a bunch of wacky bananas on the front that said "Go bananas, it's your birthday!"  I knew I wanted to use the Bananas embossing folder along with Jinks for this challenge.
The Oval Pull Card along, Pull Card Edges and Jinks are the main dies I used to make this wacky card.  I thought it would be more fun to have Jinks upside down because he's wacky like that. 

When you open the card, you see all of Jinks and the sentiment.  I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to selectively ink the parts of Just a Note and Lucky Birthday.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - All I want for Christmas

The theme for the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge is "All I want for Christmas" in the world of Pop it Ups.  So if I didn't already have all of the Pop it Ups dies, what die would I want or what die is my favorite?  Lorna Label is definitely one of my favorite dies as it's so versatile.
I kept the front simple with a stamped greeting and I traced around the die cut with markers.  I used liquid glue under the ribbon and to my surprise it shows the glue marks.......so enter the button and I think I might need to add another little something to cover the other little splotches.😏

 Here's one of my favorite characters, Rocky the Crab, sitting on the Adirondack Chair for his Florida Christmas!  Where else can Rocky go on Christmas but the beach?  He's all set with his santa hat, beard and mustache courtesy of Props 5.

 From the side you can see how Rocky fits perfectly into the chair; I added a little bit of glue to his top legs only and adhered it to the legs of the chair.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - "Charmed I'm sure"

It's time to be "Charmed" with Karen Burniston!  Karen Aicken sets the challenge this week with "Charmed I'm sure".  The team members are to use any of the charm dies to make a card.  
I kept the front of my card simple and used the Iron Fence covered with White Microfine Glitter.  I added a few wreaths courtesy of Holiday House.  The sentiment is from Holiday Clear Stamps stamped onto a Katie Label Pivot Card decorator die.

I got the idea to add the Iron Fence and Evergreen Pivot to the Flower Pot Pop Up following Karen's tutorial.  To get the fold in the correct spot, I laid the fence on the Flower Pot die cut itself and then folded them both.

I added the little box just like Karen did to animate the charm presents.  I added the little snowflakes, included in the Holiday Charms, to the tops of the trees.

I used the stencil portion of the Evergreen Pivot die to trace in the swirls, lines & dots with a Stampin' Write Marker.

Happy Stampin',
