Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek - Day 5

The Stage Pop-up is one of my favorite dies, and one of the new dies in this release is an add-on.  It's the Tool Time Stage Add-ons.

My late husband was an auto mechanic, and the colors of his Craftsman Tool Box were red, black, and silver.  So they are the colors I used on my card.  One of the new stamp sets is tool-related, and I used one on the front and two on the inside.

I loved the card Karen made with the removable stage on the inside.  I used that technique on my card as well.

The tools in this set are the same tools from the Tool Charms -- just mirror images.   When you glue them together, the tools look good from the front or the back.

This set is perfect for those masculine cards we sometimes have trouble with.

CCEE2235 - 18th Birthday

Kelly informed the CCEE Stampers that tomorrow is her son's 18th birthday and asked us to make a masculine birthday card -- with a little twist.  We are to use 1 or 8 of anything on our cards.

Happy Birthday to Kelly's son.  My card has 8 Phillips-head screws -- four on the front and four inside.

My card is made with the brand-new Karen Burniston Label Charm Pop-Up and previously released Tool Charms and Word Set 2 - Birthday.  The cute sentiment on the front panel is from an old Darcie's set Handy Man.

Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more birthday wishes to Kelly's son.

CCEE2223 - Father's Day

This coming Sunday is Father's Day, and Lynn asked the CCEE Stampers to create a card for the father of our choice (be it our father, our son, a neighbor, a friend, etc.) personalizing it by showcasing his favorite hobby.  I made my card for my brother -- who likes a good mug of beer and is a former construction worker.  (I don't know if they constitute "hobby," but he does enjoy both activities.

I used several Karen Burniston dies on this card -- both newly released and previously released.  The new one is the Landscape Rectangle Accordion.  The previously released ones are the Happy Father's Day sentiment (which I snipped into separate words), Happy Hour Charms, Cheers, Tool Charms, and the Purse Pop-Up.

Be sure to check out the CCEE Stampers blog for more Father's Day cards.

Scor-Pal "More Than One Score"

Father's Day is this month, so my card for the Scor-Pal "More Than One Score" challenge is quite masculine -- and is also an experiment.  I took one of the tutorials on the Scor-Pal website, Pockets & More Pockets, and made a tool box for Father's Day.  It didn't turn out exactly like I imagined it, but it works nonetheless.  That photo in the right-hand bottom corner is the back of the card.  That cool metallic-looking paper is part of a photo paper pad I've had for a very long time.

The tools in the "drawers" are from both Karen Burniston and Creek Bank Creations.

Karen Burniston New Release Blog Hop

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products - KB Riley LLC April Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 12 new dies. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW!.

This release includes:

5 new Interactive Die Sets - Waterfall Card; Tiny House Pop-up; Mushroom Tiny House Add-Ons; Tiny Trees Pop-up; Flower Pivot Panels

3 new sentiment sets - Happy Mother's Day; Happy Father's Day & Welcome

1 new Charm Set - Tool Charms

1 new Stand Alone Die Set - Picnic Elements

1 new Slimline Die Set - Slim Flaps & Frames

I used two of the new dies on my card -- the Waterfall Card die and the Tool Charms.  

One of Karen Burniston's earlier dies (the Frame Pull Pop-Up) can be converted to a waterfall card, but this new die set makes it so much easier.

My late husband was very handy with tools, and my son has followed in his Dad's footsteps.  I think I'll give him this card on his birthday.

As you pull on the pull tab, the panels pop up to reveal all those essentials from a tool box.

Here's a short video showing the card in action.

Karen Burniston Sneak Peek - Day 5

Some time ago, one of the designers on the team asked Karen Burniston to make a set of tools.  Karen is very accommodating.  My first card uses this new set -- Tool Charms -- as well as another new die -- Happy Father's Day, again with a shadow.

My second card for today uses the cute Tiny House Pop-Up -- this time making it a dog house.

Here is a really close-up so you can see how the inked-up element of the roof looks.

I used a label maker to create the sign over the door with Rex's name on it.

I'd love for you to stop back again tomorrow for some more previews of Karen's new dies.
