Karen Burniston New Release Blog Hop

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products - KB Riley LLC January Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 8 new dies and 4 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

• 3 new Pop-up Add-ons Die Sets

• 4 new Stand Alone Die Sets

• 4 new Clear Sentiment Stamp Sets

Dies are available to order now on the website.

One of the new sets is a variation on a previously released set. The Triple Platform Pop-up has become a favorite for me. I have made several cards with it, including this one I made for Valentine's Day.

I carried the heart theme from the patterned paper onto the three pop-up platforms, adding some hearts from the Love Charms. Another one of the new dies in this release is the Paper People set. I included a couple of young lovers up in the left-hand corner. That set includes a "paper person" die and lots of choices of clothing and hair styles for you to dress them up. All of the Tiny Accessories sets will coordinate with these as well.

These are the two new sets I used on my card.

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek Day 2

Happy Valentine's Day!  It seemed appropriate that I have another Valentine's Day card for you today.  The second new die set I'm featuring is called the Little Twist Panel Pop-Up   This die set is similar to Karen's original Twist Panel Pop-Up -- only smaller.

The front of my card is very simple -- just the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment.

But the inside shows off the new Little Twist Panel Pop-Up Pop-Up.   This set also includes that cute little banner which weaves its way through the middle panels. 

As you can see from this photo, the mechanism for the Little Twist Panel Pop-Up is all in one die.  You can either show the backing panel (as in my card) or cover it with patterned paper (as in the card on the packaging).

All of the new dies in this release will be available on the Karen Burniston website next Monday, February 20th.  I hope you can check them out.

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Wedding, Anniversary or Valentine

Love is in the air this month.  The Karen Burniston Designer Challenge gave us a choice -- make a wedding, anniversary or valentine card.  I chose to make a Valentine's Day card using the fun new Bam Box set.  I found this cool patterned paper in my stash (I don't even remember when I bought it) and used it all throughout my card.

There are four nested otagonal dies in this set, so they make a great layered look.  The heart and arrow are from the Love Charms set.  And, because of the Bam Box inside, I placed some magnets under the patterned paper to keep the card closed.

Upon opening the card, up pops that Bam Box.

The "Happy Valentine's Day doesn't have a coordinating shadow die, so I fussy cut one.  It makes the words stand out more.

Now I'll go check out the love cards made by the rest of the team.  I hope you do as well.
