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 -- Rubber Band Pop-Ups

This month's Designer Challenge theme for the Karen Burniston Design Team is "Rubber Band Pop-Ups."   And with a couple of new dies this was an easy one.  The little Bam Box is rather addictive -- and so much fun.  I used it and the new Wedding Charms.

I used some holographic paper for some extra pop on the front of my card.  The sentiment is from Word Set 12 - Anniversary.  Even though the title is Anniversary, it includes the word "Wedding" as well.  The Flap and Closure keeps the card closed.  I found some large white brads in my stash, and they worked perfectly.  The little hearts are from the Mail Box Pop-Up.

The "worker bee" of my card is that sweet little Bam Box.  When you open the card, it pops up the bride and groom (part of the Wedding Charms set).  I added some little rhinestones as the bubbly above the champagne glasses.

As I said earlier, the Bam Box Pop-Up is slightly addictive.  I've had so much fun using it in various ways.  Now you should visit the rest of the Design Team's blogs to see what they did with this "rubber band" challenge.

One Last Karen Burniston Sneak Peek

Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  Several of the new Karen Burniston dies lend themselves to this holiday of love quite nicely.  I've got a mini slimline card today, showing off the new Mailbox Pop-Up and one of the new sentiments -- Sending Love.  

That cute little monkey is also new, half of the Monkey and Lion die set.

This is the last of my sneak peeks, but be sure to check out our Blog Hop on Monday.  You'll get several chances to win a $25 gift certificate to the Karen Burniston web store by commenting on each of the team's blogs.

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek -- Day 2

Another one of the new dies from Karen Burniston is a clever Mail Box Pop-Up.  The sentiment on the front of my card was computer-generated, but those cute little envelopes are part of this die set.

The clever part of this interactive die is that, when you open the card, the door to the mailbox opens and the flag pops up.
