I am soooo excited to share this card, it has been brewing in my brain for a really long time. I had visions of an under water castle with mermaids and sea creatures but never took the time to actually make it and then….. Karen came out with this release and I knew that it was time. The jellyfish and sea horse from the Sea charms are so adorable and the crabs, well there is a whole family of them now. I also used the new Beach Borders, a few pieces from the Beach Bar Tiny House Add on and the Rectangles and Labels Crosshatch. This is what I came up with

Water Colour Waterfall Card

Years ago, like 2006ish I made my first waterfall card. I was part of a Stampin Up group and it was taught to us in a class, I remember thinking it was so fun making this interactive card BUT, all the pieces were cut and scored with a trimmer, and the measurements had to be just right (the measurements for that card had very small flaps) or it wouldn’t flip. So as fun as I thought it was I never made another one, with a trimmer anyway. I’ve made a few using Karen Burnistons Frame Pull Pop up, but that also needs some alterations. This is my first time using Karen Burnistons Waterfall Card die set and this set definitely makes it way easier. I made this card in one evening.

Basket Full of Poinsettias

I know sneak peak week was last week but I’m still showing off some of new dies sets. I made a basket with the new Wide Woven basket Card die and I’m using the Bam Boxes again. The Bam Boxes make this card pop open once removed from the envelope, which adds to the wow factor.

Label Challenge Card

Today is my first official challenge blog post as a Karen Burniston design team member, and I’m so excited to share this card 😊. The challenge this month was “Labels” and I was in a bit of a pickle. I own a LOT of KB dies but I don’t currently own any of the “Labels” dies. I placed an order but was concerned they wouldn’t get to me in time so I reached out to fellow design team member Karen Aicken who lives in the same province as I do and asked if she could die cut a few pieces for me, and not only did she send me what I asked for, she die cut pieces from 3 different Labels sets in black and white. Thank you Karen, without your help I wouldn’t have this lovely card.

Pop’nSwap Santa

*Hello, hello… I’ve been under the weather for the last week and I feel like I’ve been slacking. My Karen Burniston challenges start in August and I’ve started on those, but those are under wraps until the scheduled dates, so I thought that I would share another Christmas in July card. I made this card for my sister and her family a couple of years ago. It was my first Pop n Swap so I hope you all like it.

The next photo is actually 2 photos that I lined up. I was in a hurry to get pictures and didn’t get a great one of the gifts swooping under the tree
