Karen Burniston New Release Blog Hop

The excitement has begun -- time for a new release from Karen Burniston.  She has 16 new dies in this release, and you can pre-order them NOW!  Shipping will start August 3rd.  The design team has been showing sneak peeks for several days, and to celebrate this new release we are having a blog hop -- and you have a chance to win one of seven $25 gift certificates to the Karen Burniston store.


I have been having lots of fun with this release.  The card I have to show you today is made with the Pop 'n Swap die.


My 12-year old grandson William recently became SCUBA certified, and I made this card for his parents.  On the front, peeking out of that little window, you can see a photo of him as a baby.  The sentiment is from another Karen Burniston die set -- Word Set 11/Treasure.


When you open the card, the small photo folds down behind the sentiment panel, and another one pops out from the bottom.  This one shows William in his SCUBA gear, of which he is very proud!  I made the sentiment using a label maker.  The sun is from another new die set -- Landscape Scene.


This video shows how the mechanism works.


Each member of the design team is giving away a $25 gift certificate, so make sure you comment on each blog post for more chances to win!  Entries can be made until Monday, July 27th.

    I just love reveal-type cards. There's a surprise hidden in each one. They work perfectly for before/after photo cards. Very cute card!!
