Wow, where did the summer go, I can’t believe it is already time for the September Karen Burniston design team challenge. This months challenge is “Letters” so I decided to use the Mini Alphabet & Numbers to diecut the message on the front. This is also a birthday card for my horror movie loving brother….. can you tell who the slasher is. This is my third year of making horror themed birthday cards for him, the first year was Jason, and the second was Freddie, and here is Michael….

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

Oh Christmas Tree

Todays card pulls DOUBLE DUTY….. it is Design team challenge day AND it is my second Sneak peak card for Karen Burnistons December Release. The Design Team challenge was to have a Christmas stocking on the card, I chose to use the stocking border on the front as well as having them as ornaments on the tree.

It’s hard to tell in the photograph but I did use the brand new Raising PlatformPop up dieset. The tree top raises up outside the limits of the card when opened.
