Karen Burniston New Release Blog Hop

 Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products - KB Riley LLC February Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 6 new dies. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW!

This release includes:

• 1 new Charm die set
• 1 new Word set
• 1 new Tiny House Add-Ons set
• 1 new Pop-up die set
• 1 new Crosshatch die set
• 1 new Border die set

Dies are available to order now on the website.

For my card today, I chose the new Little Twist Panel Pop-Up set and created a full-size slimline card with two sets of panels.  The front of the card features a stamped image and sentiment and some scattered sea creatures.  The shells are from a previously released set, Tropical Scene.  There are some new items on the front as well -- the fish and crabs.  They are part of Beach Borders.  Actually, Beach Borders (as the name suggests) are border dies.  I cut a couple of the images apart and used them.

Inside the card, you'll see the how two Little Twist Panels are used side-by-side.  And you can see what the Beach Borders look like intact.  I did not use the little banners for this particular card, opting just to cut some sand patterned paper, covering the holes in those center panels. By the way, the patterned paper used for the background for the front and bottom panel inside are from a slimline pack from Whimsy Stamps.  The top inside panel was ink blended.  I added a couple of the Octagon shapes from the Bam Box Pop-Up for my sentiment inside.  Also in the new release is another charm set -- Sea Charms.  I used four of the charms inside the frames.

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.

Karen Burniston New Release Day 6

I'm still in the beach/ocean mode with today's sneak peek.  Those Sea Charms and Beach Borders are so cute!  My card today combines them with the Wide Woven Basket Box Card from the last release as well as several other previously released sets.  This shows that Karen's dies are perfect for combining with each other.  

Not only did I place the crab Beach Border around the bottom of the Woven Basket, but I also placed a couple of the cut-apart crabs in the water with the mermaids.  A section from the Castle Pop-Up set adds a sand-castle background.

Only a few more days to wait before the new dies are available for purchase.  They will be on the Karen Burniston website on Monday, February 20th.
 

Karen Burniston New Release Day 4

One of the new dies in this release is an add-on to the Tiny House Pop-Up die set.  It is the Beach Bar Tiny House.  Living in Florida, this set is right in my wheelhouse.  I've had a lot of fun using it.  On the front I did a little "word surgery," adding a "y" to the word "Beach" (from the new Word Set 16 - Beach Happy Hour set) to the previously released Happy Birthday sentiment.

When you open the card, there sits the new little Beach Hut.  I love the thatched roof on it.  Note the cocktails sitting on the bar.  There's more from Word Set 16 - Beach Happy Hour on the inside as well.

Also used on this card are the new Sea Charms and the previously released Hexagon Crosshatch dies.

All of these new dies will be available for purchase on Monday, February 20th.
