Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC July 2026 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 ten new die sets and five new stamp sets. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW on Karen Burniston’s website.
This pop-up wedding card features the new Gazebo Stage Add-Ons, Little Bench Pop-Up and Paper People Summer Styles die sets and Sweet Life Sayings stamp set along with the previously released Stage Pop-Up, Paper People, Word Set 17 and Wedding Charms dies and the Fun Faces 1 and Seasons stamps.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Stage Pop-Up Base: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for Stage Pop-Up.) Using the Stage Pop-Up die set and a medium weight cream textured cardstock, cut two of the large stage pieces, two of the side strips, two of the polygon decorator shapes and five of the rectangle side labels. From white cardstock cut two of the polygon decorator shapes and one of the rectangle side labels. Cut two of the “L” strips from black for the groom and one strip from white for the bride. Following the assembly steps in the video above, waiting to insert the bride & groom between the two stage sections, before gluing the base together. Stamp sentiment labels. Add the rectangle labels to the stage side strips before attaching to stage base.






Gazebo Stage Add-Ons: Using the Gazebo Stage Add-Ons set, cut four of the woodgrain posts and two railings from cream cardstock. Cut two of the scalloped roof pieces from medium to lightweight white cardstock. Color the slate roof with alcohol markers. Assemble the gazebo as shown in the video above – adding the two posts to each roof section and then attaching the roof sections together. Cut and emboss six of the vine die from the Little Bench Pop-Up set and highlight the leaf veins with a fine tipped green marker. Weave four of the vine decorations around the four posts before gluing posts to the stage base. Once the posts are attached to base, glue down the remaining two vines to the sides.
Watch this video to see how I styled the bride and groom figures.
Bride: Using the Paper People Summer Styles die set, cut one of the figure, two sets of hair style pieces, five of the long skirt, two of the curvy top and one set of the flip-flop sandals. From gold foil cardstock, cut one diamond using the Wedding Charms die set. This will be the tiara that tucks behind the front hair piece. Assemble as shown in the video making sure to attach the “L” strip on to back side of the bride before gluing on her back skirts. (I used the Fun Faces 1 stamp set to stamp on her face before I added her hair.)

Groom: Using the Paper People die set, cut one of the figure, two sets of hair style pieces, two pants, two sets of shoes, one long sleeved shirt (use this shirt to trace the back piece with the open collar closed). Using the Wedding Charms die set, cut one tuxedo and one of the shirt triangle piece. Trim the tuxedo’s loop, sleeves and pants off. Glue in shirt triangle and assemble the coat as shown in the video above. (I used the Fun Faces 1 stamp set to stamp on his face before I added his hair.)
Flowers: Using the Little Bench Pop-Up set, cut four or more sets of the flowers. Add yellow centers to the flowers. (I used a liquid resin to add the flower centers, so I did this first when cutting out all my pieces so the resin had time to dry.)

Sentiments: “Congrats” is from the Seasons stamp set While the “Love is the secret ingredient” is from Sweet Life Sayings set.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) size envelope. The back envelope flap is decorated with the word “Congratulations” die-cut using Word Set 17 from the same purple paper that was used for the gazebo flowers.
