Karen Burniston Lucky Pull Tab card.

Hello here is one of my other Pull Tab cards I created this week using Karen Burnistons dies. This one is stamped with Karen's Lucky the Rabbit stamps set.

The card I used is from payperbox and is really fantastic quality at a great price. Perfect for card making as they make colour co-coordinating card. I had the pleasure of meeting Jon the director of the company at the craft show in Birmingham.

 I was able to stamp Lucky the Rabbit and colour him in with pro-markers without the ink or the colour running.

Gorjuss Karen Burniston Pull Tab Card...

Hello it's been quite a while since my last post I've been busy trying to make an english paper piece quilt. It's taking a loooooooooong time.

Helen over at the dining room drawers and I took a little break last weekend to go to the stitches show at the NEC Birmingham to meet the very lovely Karen Burniston and Stamping Caz in person.

We had a fab time and even got to have a go at a few make and take activities.

 

I got to see all Karens new dies, one die in particular caught my eye. The new pull tab card die set. As soon as I got home I had a play and created this Gorjuss card.

I stamped the Gorjuss girl on to shrinkies paper and heated it in the oven to reduce its size.

I added tags from the tag pivot set to the pull tab.

 The die set makes it so quick and easy to create lovely cards I was able to make five in one afternoon.

Karen Burniston October design challenge

Hello and welcome to October! This year is truely flying by too fast. So this months challenge is one I really enjoyed. Karen challenged us to 'Characters in Costume' something I love to do. I chose Chilly the penguin for this challenge and created this very cute snow-penguin.

I used the carrot from Karens new 'lucky the rabbit' die set which is coming soon to elizabeth craft designs. The cute christmassy hat is from the Karens merry and bright pop it up props set #5.

Have you seen the new stamp sets you can also get now on elizabeth craft designs? I stamped Karens 'marry christmas' with the 'and a happy new year' on Karens tags from the tags pivot dies set and pegged them to my card. The candy cane that is included in Jolly the mouse die set is an excellent accessory for the frosty all seasons tree.

 The adirondack chair pop up die set makes for a lovely scene.

I hope you enjoyed looking at this card as much as I enjoyed making it. Don't forget to check out all the other wonderful cards the rest of the design team have created.

Karen Burniston New Barn Die May Challenge

Hello and welcome to my Karen Burniston May design challenge post. This months challenge was to use Karens new barn die in a creative way. As a friend has just had a baby I chose to make the barn into a baby cot/crib.

To make the crib I cut two 8cm x 4cm acetate rectangles, two 8cm x 2 cm pink card rectangles, 8 white card barn door fronts and four barn door runner strips. I cut two of the barn door runner strips in half to use as 'legs' for the crib.

I folded the other two barn door runner strips in to thirds lenghways along the cut lines to create the top of the crib.

When I recieved my latest set of dies from Elizabeth craft designs I also recieve some super cute peel offs and was able to use some of the baby set for this card. I coloured the pram with my promarker pens and added some pearls on the carriage.

I used Elizabeth craft designs alphabet and number die set to add the new baby's name and date of birth.

This monkey holding balloons was also on the baby peel off set from elizabeth craft designs and I again coloured it using my promarker pens. I love layering up the cursive word dies you can get from Elizabeth craft designs to give them a shadowed look as I have with the it's a girl on the front of this card.

I have been trying to use different backgrounds for my photos and used this beautiful wisteria at the front of my house in these shots.

Karen Burniston April design team challenge...

Hi there and welcome to April!! this months challenge is a special one, as each of the design team members got to choose a fellow cardmaker (not on the team) to collaborate with. I chose the wonderfully talented Sandy Diller to be my partner. The brief this month was to choose an accordion die and get creative. Between us and our guests we'll have 21 albums for the post!

Sandy and I chose the star accordion die for our cards and I went for a new baby theme.

I receive the cute peel offs from Elizabeth craft designs and knew they would be perfect for this card. I find colouring very theraputic and had great fun colouring them with my fab set of promarkers

Here are some close ups of the uber cute peel offs.

I finished the card of with my new elizabeth craft design 'it's a boy' word die.

I hope you liked looking at my card and please don't forget to look at the other super talented designers cards.
