Karen Burniston New Release - Day 5

Included in the Karen Burniston new release are three add-on sets, one of which is the Christmas Tree Add-on.  It has new pieces for the tree itself plus ornaments and a tree skirt.

One of the samples I had made for the previous release was an explosion box for the Pirate Ship.  I enjoyed making it so much that I decided to make one for this release as well.

When you remove the lid, it reveals the Christmas tree inside.  One of the panels includes a Mini Gift Bag, in which can be placed a gift card.  On the opposite panel is one of the sentiments from the new stamp set, Season of Cheer.

Here's a short video.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget about the new release blog hop on Monday.  You could win a $25 gift certificate to Karen Burniston's website.

Karen Burniston New Release

 Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products - KB Riley LLC December Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 7 new dies. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW!

This release includes:

• 2 new Add-ons Die Sets
• 1 new Pop-up Die Sets
• 1 new Tag Die Set
• 2 new Stand-Alone 3D Die Sets
• 1 new Sentiment Shadow Die Set

Dies are available to order now on the website.

The two Add-ons die sets being released coordinate with the previously released Fancy Label Accordion die, which I believe was the very first Karen Burniston die that I purchased many years ago.  One of these sets has hearts and the other has candles.  I am using the Heart Add-ons set, along with a few other new sets (Happy Valentine Shadow, Mini Gift Bag and Candy Hearts Box) for a pretty little Valentine gift set.

To use the Heart Add-ons, you have to alter the center pieces of the Fancy Label Accordion, substituting the Add-on section.  As I explained last week, the Fancy Label Accordion die-cut is altered, as shown in the photo below.

Karen will be showing more detailed instructions for this procedure in her "how-to" video for the Heart Add-ons and Birthday Candles Add-on dies.

I made another card using the Heart Add-ons -- a wedding card for my grandson, who recently got married.

To celebrate the release Karen Burniston and each of the Karen Burniston - KB Riley LLC Design Team members will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to some lucky person who comments on our blog posts, so make sure you join the hop and comment on everyone's blog post. Winners will be randomly chosen from ALL of the blog hop comments received on our blog posts by Monday, December 18, 2023. Lots of chances to win some goodies, so just leave a comment on this post or any other blog hop posts to enter!  IMPORTANT:  Don't forget to leave some way for us to contact you, in case you are a lucky winner!
