CCEE Stampers - World Dream Day

Frances ends her month as hostess for the CCEE Stampers by telling us that Sept. 25th was World Dream Day.  Our challenge this week is to create a card with someone/something sleeping/dreaming.  This was the perfect challenge for me to try a new technique using the Karen Burniston Family Room die with a floating floor.

The front of my card is rather simple . . .

. . . but it acts as an introduction to the inside.

The sleeping dad is a piece of clip art I found on-line.  Notice that the chair from the Family Room die has been changed into a table.  Karen Burniston showed this technique, and I just had to give it a try.  I thought the dog added a nice touch.

Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more Dream Day cards.

Family Room Die - Karen Burniston

Today I've got a card made with one more of the new Pop-Up dies from Karen Burniston, which will be shipping in mid-July.  It's called the Family Room Pop-Up and features a sofa, chair and lamp.

I thought this die would make a great "welcome to your new home" card.  On the front of the card I also included one of the new Memory Charms dies -- the TV set . . .

. . . as well as one of the words in Word Set 8 - Congrats, which I cut twice and layered.

On the inside, you get a little vignette of part of a new home.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the new dies being released by Karen Burniston.  I've certainly enjoyed showing them off!

National Camera Day

Today is National Camera Day, and to celebrate it I made another card showcasing a soon-to-be-released die set from Karen Burniston called the Photo Collage Pop-Up.  The new dies will be shipping mid-July, but the Design Team has been busy creating for a few weeks.

My son, his wife and son recently went on a cruise with another couple and their son.  Like many people nowadays, they posted lots of photos on Facebook.  I took the opportunity to grab some of these photos and used them on my card -- which I will be giving to them soon.

The front of the card gives a little peek at what is to come.

But the inside is where all the action happens.    As you can see, it looks like they had a good time.  Oh, by the way, that little camera is part of another new die set, Memory Charms.

 And don't you just love the push pins and binder clips.  They're both part of the die set!

One of the dies in the Photo Collage set is a die to create a little pop-up mechanism that unfolds all the photos as you open the card.  Check out the video to see how it works.

I hope they like my card.
