It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s February 2024 release. These dies will be available for purchase on February 19, 2024 on the KB Riley LLC website.

Who doesn’t enjoy a vacation and this tag card is sure to let those going on a cruise vacation know they are in for some fun.

This pop-up tag card uses Karen Burniston dies – specifically the Purse Pop-Up, Topper Tags, Tag Book Pop-Up, Cruise Charms and Tiny Accessories 4.

Tag Cardbase: Cut two of the largest tags in the Topper Tags die set from kraft cardstock. Use the hinge die in the Tag Book Pop-Up or cut a rectangle of 1.5×3.5-inch and fold in half for the card hinge that is glued to the inside of the two tags. Cut two large tags of decorative cardstock and glue over the inside of the tags and hinge. Cut another two large tags of decorative papers and glue to the front and back of the card. (My inside decorative cardstock did not cover the entire tag, so I cut the top scalloped section of the tag from kraft cardstock.)

Pop-Up Suitcase: Follow the assembly video at the bottom of the Purse Pop-Up page link instructions to make the suitcase on a small tag cut from the Tab Book Pop-Up set. I cut the handle again twice, strap once and 20 of the corner pieces from dark brown. Cut the buckle from gold cardstock. (I used a bit of gold foil packaging form some chocolates.) The strap can be glued to the rolled under piece as long as it doesn’t block the movement of the handle as it slides open and closed.

Scuba Gear and Decorations: Using the Tiny Accessories 4 die set, cut the mask and snorkel once from black and once from blue. trim off the top and bottom knobs of the blue snorkel and glue on the black snorkel. Glue the blue mask onto the black mask to give it depth. Save the black center section of the mask to use as sunglasses. Cut a pair of flippers from black. (I had images of a passport and a map of tropical islands that I glued to the inside of the card as well as the airplane sticker on the suitcase. More travel images were added to the back and front of the card.)

Sentiments: The ship and “bon voyage” sentiment on the card from come from the Cruise Charms set while the inside tags come from the Tag Book Pop-Up set. Hemp cord is tied to the tags.

Envelope: The tag card easily fits in a #10 business envelope which I used a paper image to decorate the back flap.
