Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek - Day 6

I've shown two Christmas cards made with the Cascade Pop-up (along with the Poinsettia die), but today I've got a Thanksgiving card made with the Cascade Pop-up (along with the Autumn Elements and Feathered Animals sets).  This is a 5 1/2" square card.

The arrangement on each of the cascading circles is pretty much duplicated in the lower left-hand corner of the card.  I just love those little acorns!

Don't forget to check out the blog hop on Thursday. 

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peeks - Day 3

After I made yesterday's Cascade Pop-up card, I decided to expand it just a little bit.  If you make your card a little bigger (my card today is 5" x 7"), you can get two cascading elements on it.  Here is my expanded Poinsettia card.  A favorite of mine is the Pine Cone set from an earlier release.

You have a bit more room inside of a 5" x 7" card than you do in an A2 card.  I experimented a little bit to see how two cascading elements would look.  I put poinsettias on the upper cascade and pine boughs and pinecones on the lower one. 

As I was opening and closing the card, the pine boughs were getting in each others' way, so I put some acetate behind each layer of pine boughs.  That solved my problem.

This is such a fun release.  I hope you stop back tomorrow to see another sneak peek.

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek - Day 2

This new release from Karen Burniston includes some really cute dies.   Today I'm using the new Cascade Pop-up.

I make Christmas cards all year long so that I'm not rushed come December.  The Cascade Pop-up lent itself well to the Poinsettia die.  I decided that I wanted to have my poinsettias something other than the normal RED, so I googled "poinsettia" and found some interesting versions.  I decided on this pink and white variety.

As you can see, the poinsettias fit very nicely on the cascading layers.  I used a few sprigs of pine from the Pine Cone set for accent.

Stop back tomorrow for another sneak peek.
