IT’S TIME for the Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC November 2025 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 15 new dies and 5 new stamp sets. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to pre-order NOW!
Today’s card uses the new dies of Greeting Labels, Mini Ball Access Tabs, Surprise Ball Access Tabs and Animal Add-Ons 6 and a new stamp set – Bug Greetings. The card also uses previously released die sets of Mini Ball Pop-Up, Hexagons – Crosshatch and Ovals -Crosshatch.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Cut eight dotted lavender cardstock hexagons using the largest die in the Hexagons – Crosshatch. Using the next two plain edged hexagon dies in the set, cut a total of 12 of the medium hexagon from patterned paper and six of the smaller die also from patterned paper. Cut two sets of the Surprise Ball Access Tabs from the dotted lavender cardstock. Assemble card as show in video.



Bee Pop-Up: Cut two ball halves and 12 decorative pieces from yellow cardstock using the Mini Ball Pop-Up set. Also cut one set of Mini Ball Access Tabs from yellow cardstock. Assemble Mini Ball as shown in the video above using the access tabs. Create the bee using the Animal Add-Ons 6 set. Cut four sets of the antenna, one large circle and two small eye ovals from black cardstock. Cut two of the smaller circle from white cardstock and the mouth from pink. (I cut the mouth from white and colored with a pink marker.) Cut one set of wings and two wing vein overlays from clear vellum. Assemble as shown in video above. Cut one lavender oval for the base for the bee to set on using the medium die in the Ovals -Crosshatch set.

Sentiments: All the sentiments are stamped on white cardstock using the Bug Greetings stamp set and the Greeting Labels die set was used to cut the belly band label out. The large label on the back used the largest crosshatch die in the Hexagons – Crosshatch set.
