Karen Burniston new Eiffel Love bunting card...

Hello everyone, have you see Karen Burnistons new Eiffel tower pop stand and paris edges dies? look what you can make!

 Did I tell you yet how pretty the Paris edges dies make a card look?

 This is one of the tags from Karens new tags pivot die set with the new Alphabet 1 dies set from Elizabeth craft designs.

Fezes are cool...

....and so are Karen burnistons new die set collections!!

This card was made using Karens new retangle pull card and 12" by 6" cardstock.

 What do you think of my tardis? I had such fun fitting the pieces together. The top light of the tardis is an upside down window with attached window box from Karen's house pivot die set. The larger windows I created by gluing together two windows from her holiday house set.

 To make the fez on this cute new cat die I used an upside down bucket from the new palm tree and pail set.

Karen Burniston CHA bathtub duckie...

I've been so busy playing cards I haven't been blogging them. This is a new baby sample card I made for the CHA Janurary show in America.

Karens new bathtub stand up die set goes perfectly with Elizabeth craft designs duckie die.

I used the rectangle die from Karens new accordion retangle die set and punched little holes along the edges to create this bath rug.

I think one of my favourite dies from Karens new sets is the paris edges, it makes the card look so pretty.

But my all time favourite is her flagpole die which I used with one of her new tags dies.

Karen Burniston December challenge advent accordion album card

so here is my second card for Karen Burniston's December challenge which was to choose a month of the year and make a card for a special occasion or holiday for that month.

originally I had planned to make an accordion album 12 days of Christmas card but when I sat down to plan it I realised I didn't have the dies I would need. My none crafty friend Lisa was with me and suggested I think about an advent card and bam the ideas just started flowing. 

I used Karen's Fancy Label accordion album die and all 6 different edging dies you can get from Elizabeth Craft Designs. As I don't have a number die set small enough to fit on I used jewels and gems to create the numbers.

For the surprises behind each door I used Els silk microfine glitter on double sided adhesive and promarker technique which can be seen here.

 Each of the picture is a Elizabeth Craft Design peel of sticker.

 For the Rudolf face I used a round peel off sticker and hand drew a smiling mouth and eyes.

On the last page in order for me to write my message neatly I glued some little clothes pegs and cut out the largest size fancy label die which comes with the fancy label accordion album die set. I can then when I need to remove the label write my message and then peg the label back in place again.

Karen Burniston December challenge fathers day card

 For Decembers Karen Burniston  design team challenge Karen asked us to create cards for each month of the year, we were encouraged to used any special occasions or holidays in that month. I chose June as fathers day for the UK is in this month. I used Karen's Katie Label Accordion album die for this card and followed her instructional video to turn it in to a landscape card rather than the portrait position the die is created for.

My parents visited this month to do our Christmas present swap and my lovely mum who also enjoys card-making brought me a father day stamp set she received free on the front of a crafting magazine. I used blue and bronze heat reactive embossing powder to create the stamped 'worlds greatest dad' wording.

I used a gold shimmer sheetz and brown microfine glitter on dark cardstock with my Elizabeth craft designs wheelbarrow and accessories die set to give this very handsome card a little more pzazz. 

I cut the shimmer sheetz using the Elizabeth craft designs metal plate adaptor which helps the big shot to make much cleaner cuts of the sheetz. To attach the glitter I used double sided adhesive sheets that I received in the post from ECD.
