Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek Day 2

One of the interactive dies in this Karen Burniston new release is the Whirly Wheel.  

 

To be truthful, I had a little trouble with this one the first time I used it.  However, Karen gave me a little tip which helped a whole lot.  There was less friction between the pieces when I put some clear tape on the cardstock before cutting the three main pieces. 

The first card with this set that I'm showing you is a graduation card, also using the frog from the Leaping Animals set.

Here is that card.  I've had that cool graduation paper for quite a while and was glad to be able to use it.

For the inside I used the Oval Frames Pop-up with some more of the Graduation Elements die set and the Grad Greetings clear stamp set.  The books are from the Bookworm set.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I'll have another sneak peek tomorrow.  And don't forget to check out our Blog Hop next week.  You'll have many chances to win a $25 gift certificate to the Karen Burniston website.

June Calendar Page

It's June 1st, time to change the calendar.  My friend Sue Small-Krieder and I are halfway through our calendar challenge.  

May and June are graduation months, so I decided to have a graduating bookworm on my June calendar page.  Karen Burniston has a cute little Bookworm die set that I used on my page, along with several of the books from that same set.  The background graduation caps are a Creek Bank Creations stencil.

I must say that I have been having fun with this challenge.  I'm glad Sue asked me to join her.

Karen Burniston New Release - Sneak Peek Day 4

Can I say that one of the new sets that I'm using today is the cutest thing I've seen in a very long time.  As an avid reader, the new Bookworm really touches my heart.  I've used it along with the new Bam Box, which is a fun one, and the new Hexagon - Crosshatch set.

I recently purchased a book-related stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs which are the perfect accompaniment to this cute Bookworm.  I stamped one of the sentiments onto the hexagon die-cut for the intro to this project.  The cute little row of books at the bottom are from the Bookworm set.

A magnet is holding the card closed because, as you will see when you open the card, up pops that cute little bookworm.

Here's a little video showing the action.

As you can see, it just pops right up!

I've got some more sneak peeks for you in the next few days.  I hope you'll stop back and take a look.
