It’s Sneak Peak Week for Karen Burniston’s October 2024 release of new dies and sentiment stamps. These dies will be available for purchase on October 28, 2024 on the KB Riley LLC website.

Today’s card is an A2 size Christmas card that uses the new die sets of Poinsettia and Merry Christmas Lorna Add-Ons along with Season of Cheer stamp set.

CARDBASE: Cut an 8×6-inch rectangle of a double-sided patterned paper and fold in half to form a top-fold 4×6-inch cardbase.

LORNA LABEL: Follow the assembly video for the Lorna Label Pop-Up but cut out a frame by sandwiching the largest decorator label inside the Lorna Label die. Glue the Merry Christmas Add-Ons frame to the Lorna Label frame and decorate with words from add-on set before gluing the Lorna label pop-up into the card.

POINSETTIA: From the Poinsettia die set, cut one of the large leaves die from green and another from red. Cut one red from smaller leaves die. Brush the edges of the leaves with ink slightly darker than the cardstock. Cut the small, dotted center piece once from red and once from yellow. Save the yellow dots to inlay into the red center. Glue the large red piece onto the large green piece and then top with smaller red piece. Make sure to alternate the leaves for full coverage. Adhere red and yellow flower center. Die cut five pine branches and two of the berry stems to add around the large flower.

SENTIMENTS: The Merry Christmas Lorna Add-On set has a holly leaves shadow die that is just the right size to stamp the word “and” onto and glue to the bottom tip of the Lorna Label frame. The “and” and “Happy New Year” are from the Season of Cheer stamp set. The fishtail banner is a die in the Lorna Label Pop-Up set. The holly leaves and berries are in the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-On set.
