Karen Burniston New Release Blog Hop

 Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products - KB Riley LLC June Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 10 new dies and 5 new stamp sets. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW!


This release includes:
  • 1 new Pop-up Die Set
  • 1 new Interactive Die Set
  • 1 new Pop-up Add-ons Die Set
  • 2 new Charm Die Sets
  • 4 new Stand Alone Die Sets
  • 5 new Clear Sentiment Stamp Sets
Dies are available to order now on the website.
I chose the Graduation Elements to feature.  They are made to fit the previously released Paper People.  For my first card I combined these two sets with the Label Charm Pop-up.  My high school colors were red and blue -- thus the color scheme on this card.  I also used one of the new stamp sets -- Grad Greetings.

As you can see on the inside, there are two sizes of graduation caps.   The banner mounted across the top includes the word "congrats," but it is sized to fit the Mini Alphabet and Numbers set as well.


I did make a second card for the Hop.  I must give full credit to another design team member, Sandy Diller, for the inspiration for this card.  My 62-year-old son recently received his degree in information technology.  I am very proud of him and made this card to celebrate his achievement.  In addition to the new Graduation Elements, I also used the new Whirly Wheel.







To celebrate the release Karen Burniston and each of the Karen Burniston - KB Riley LLC Design Team members will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to some lucky person who comments on our blog posts, so make sure you join the hop and comment on everyone's blog post. Winners will be randomly chosen from ALL of the blog hop comments received on our blog posts by Monday, 23rd June 2025. Lots of chances to win some goodies, so just leave a comment on this post or any other blog hop posts to enter! Don't forget to leave some way for us to contact you, in case you are a lucky winner!
