It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s November 2025 Release of new dies and stamps.

Today’s card uses a new die and a new stamp set – Pine Cone and Quiet Forest. It also uses the previously release dies of Pattern Plate – Swirls and Snow Charms. The new dies and stamps will be available for pre-order starting November 24, 2025.

Cardbase: I cut an 8.5×11 sheet of white 65lb. cardstock in half to create two 5.5×8.5-inch rectangles that I fold in half to make side-fold A2 cardbases. Cut one cardbase into two 4.25×5.5 panels.

Swirls Background: Tape a white 4.25×5.5 panel of cardstock to the Pattern Plate – Swirls die and using the embossing sandwich for your die cutting machine, and emboss the pattern into the cardstock. Color the swirls with a glitter marker of icy blue. Trim panel down to 4×5.25-inches. Glue panel to card front.

Pine Cones: Watch the video above to see how I made the pine cones using Karen Burniston’s Pine Cone dies.

Skates and Snowflakes: The skates and snowflakes were cut out using the Snow Charms die set. The three skate dies were cut from white cardstock and colored with markers before gluing together. The snowflakes were cut from white gold shimmer cardstock.

Sentiments: All the sentiments come from the Quiet Forest stamp set and are cut out with the Greeting Labels die set.

Envelope: The card fits in an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope with a snowflake glued to the back flap.
