Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC October 2024 Release Blog Hop. (See GIVEAWAY details at the end of this post for blog hop list.) The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 10 new dies and 5 new stamp sets. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW!

This is a special card that creates a 6×6-inch miniature scene of trimming the Christmas tree. (I think the people must have stepped out to get some hot cocoa.) There are dangling ornaments (or baubles) along with a colorful paper chain and a strand of lights. These are all created with dies from the new release – Christmas Tree Add-Ons, Charm Rings, Snow Charms and Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons. The stamped sentiment is from the new Season of Cheer stamp set.

(While it uses multiple die sets, you could make a smaller card with the tree and furniture or the tree next to the fireplace.)

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: From 100 lb. cardstock cut two 6 x 6 1/2-inch rectangles, one 6 x12-inch rectangle, and one 6 x 5 1/2-inch rectangle. Watch video to see the order of assembly of pieces and when to cover pieces with decorative paper.

Windows: Using the Bitty Ball Double-Ups large die, cut windows into the two 6 x 6 1/2-inch rectangles of the card base. Wreaths from Fireplace Extras 2 and bows from Fireplace Extras 1 decorate the windows while a sled from the Snow Charms decorates the wall.

Fireplace: The fireplace is made and decorated using the Fireplace Pop-Up, Fireplace Extras 1 and Fireplace Extras 2 die sets. (Watch assembly videos on the dies’ linked pages.)

Sofa and Table: The sofa and table are made using the Family Room Pop-Up die set and modifying the chair into a table by not adding the chair seat and back piece. The tabletop is the waste piece from the sofa section of the base. For the plate of gingerbread men, cut the plate using the smallest circle die in the Crosshatch Circles die set. There are three different die sets that have gingerbread men of about the same size. Any set will work – Gingerbread Tiny House Add-Ons, Winter Charms or Christmas Borders 1. (Watch assembly videos on the dies’ linked pages.)

Tree: The Christmas tree is made using the Christmas Tree Pop-Up with the Christmas Tree Add-Ons and Charm Rings. (The colorful paper chain is made up of all three sizes of paper jump rings in the Charm Rings die set.) For the string of colored lights that is draped across the floor comes from the Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons set.

Sentiments: The card uses many sentiments from the Graphic 45 paper collection, but the main inside sentiment comes as the card is opened to reveal the fireplace with “Have a tree trimming, carol singing, laughter ringing Christmas“ stamped on an oval rug using the Season of Cheer stamp set.

Envelope:  The card is thick, so a special padded envelope is needed to mail it.
