Karen Burniston New Release Blog Hop

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products - KB Riley LLC September Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 9 new dies. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW!

This release includes:

• 2 new Script Sentiment Die Sets
• 3 new Border Die Sets
• 2 new Pop-up Die Sets
• 1 new Add-on Die Sets
• 1 stand alone Die Set

Dies are available to order now on the website.

I love to make cards for Halloween, so I used the new Stocking Pop-up die and several other Halloween dies (both new and not-so-new) to make my card for the hop.  One of the new Halloween dies is the Witch and Cauldron.  What I like about the witch is that she is in several pieces, so you can use her in many different ways.  In this case, she's standing behind her cauldron stirring the pot.  BTW, the same die is used for her hair and the fire!  Two other new dies are on the front of my card -- Small Sentiments - Halloween and Halloween Borders.  

There are dies from several different Halloween sets used on the inside -- as well as the Stocking Pop-up.  The pop-up mechanism animates those two ghosts behind the house.  The skulls along the bottom and the two Jack-O-Lanterns are both part of the same Halloween Borders set as the spiders on the front.

Here is a short video so you can see how the pop-up mechanism works.

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek - Day 5

For today's sneak peek, I returned to the Stocking Pop-Up.  This time, however, I did not make either a Halloween or a Christmas card.  I wanted to show the versatility of this particular die set, so I made a castle-related birthday card.  On the front I did a bit of mixing and matching of word sets and added a computer-generated phrase at the end.

Attached to the pop-up mechanism on the inside is the Dragon from the Knight and Dragon set.  He pops up and blows his fiery breath at you.

Only a few more days until the Blog Hop on Monday, where you could win one of many $25 gift certificates to the Karen Burnison website.  

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek - Day 2

Yesterday I used the new Stocking Pop-up for a Halloween card.  Today I'll use it for a Christmas card.  The front of the card uses one of the new Christmas Borders dies -- the candy canes.  The two small gingerbread men are from the Winter Charms set.

There is another of the Christmas borders on the inside of the card as well -- the cute little gingerbread men.  I decided to continue the border on all four sides of the inside by cutting apart the gingerbread men for the up-and-down borders.  The Stocking Pop-Up set includes dies for the packages, bows, and holly.

And, as you can see, there is another new die set on there -- the Small Sentiments Christmas.

I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when I use a completely different new set.

Karen Burniston Sneak Peeks -- Day 1

It's time to get the excitement going -- new release time from Karen Burniston.  My first sneak peek uses a Christmas die set -- Stocking Pop-up -- but for Halloween.  It just shows that Karen's dies are very versatile.

Actually, this card was made with several new dies besides the Stocking Pop-Up.  The sentiment on the front is from a new set called Small Sentiments - Halloween.

On the inside are a couple of new sets -- Halloween Borders (those spiders across the top and bottom) and Witch and Cauldron.

This short video shows how the mechanism for the Stocking Pop-Up works.  As you open the card, the contents of the cauldron pop up.

I appreciate your stopping by my blog today.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for another sneak peek.
