This card was made for Craft Roulette #239 whose parameters included an interactive card, picnic colors, farm element, and paper strips.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: I used a purchased A6 (4.5 x 6.25-inch) cardbase and envelope.
Stable & Reindeer: Using the Reindeer Stable die set by Scrapping Cottage, cut the stable base from red cardstock and inked the edges with brown ink. All the other pieces were cut from white cardstock and colored. The weathervane was cut twice and glued together to reinforce the tiny piece. I made my own wire wobbler springs using thin florist wire and gluing them in place.
Flying Reindeer Mechanism: Using dies by Whimsy Stamps kinetic collection, I eventually figured out how to make the reindeer fly over the stable using the die cut paper strips and foam dots. (Watch the tutorial to see how I made it.)
Snow: Avry Elle white ink spray was used to cover the card with splatters of snow. (I had to color over the facial details and shading on the reindeer after spraying.) The trees have white gel pen to place snow accumulation at the end of the branches.
Sentiments: All the winter sentiments stamped in black ink are from Waffle Flower. The “Pull” and arrow are tiny stamps from My Favorite Things.
Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (4.5x 6.25-inches) size envelope With “Let It Snow” on the back flap.
This card was inspired by a 3D embossing folder that features poinsettias and candy canes by Spellbinders. It also uses some new dies by Karen Burniston and paper by Graphic 45.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Card Back
Cardbase: I used a purchased A7 (5×7-inch) side fold cardbase with matching envelope. (Color the fold both inside and out using markers that are close in color to the papers, so that the white fold line is less seen.) The cardbase was covered using decorative papers.
Embossed Front: The Spellbinders 3D embossing folder of the month for October 2024 embosses a 5 1/2×8 1/2-inch surface. I used gold foil cardstock to emboss and colored the image with fine tipped alcohol markers. (I found the smaller tipped makers got brighter coverage, but I went over most of the images two or three times to get my desired color.)
Poinsettia: Using the Karen Burniston Poinsettia die set, cut one large poinsettia petals from green and another from red cardstock. Cut two of the small petals from red. Cut one red center and a second center from yellow cardstock backed with double sided adhesive tape to make stickers. Assemble the flower as shown in video. Cut berry branches and fir branches from green and berries from red cardstock covered with clear packing tape. Use berry die as a stencil to add white gel pen highlights to berries.
Fan Pop-Up: Using the Photo Fan die set, cut one of the fan mechanism piece from decorative paper matching the card inside paper. Cut off arms and save arms. Glue two arms together and attach to fan with arm edge butted into the center fold of the fan. Install fan into card as directed in the video.
Sentiment: Cut one of the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-on large die from red cardstock and the words from gold foil cardstock.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. I decorated the back flap of the envelope with candy canes from the Christmas Borders 2 die set.

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLCOctober 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 andPenguin 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.
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.)
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.

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.
Watch the process video to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: Cut a 7 3/4 x 8 3/4-inch rectangle from light weight cardstock. Fold in half to form a 3 7/8 x 8 3/4-inch side-fold card. Cover the inside panels with gold patterned paper then use the largest of the Long Rectangles – Crosshatch dies to cut two green patterned paper mats for the inside. Cover the outside panels with holly patterned paper. Using the second smallest crosshatch circle in the Circles – Crosshatch die set to cut a window thru the card front by centering the circle die between 3 1/4-inches and 5 1/2-inches from the top of the card and 1/4-inch from the right side of the card.
Poinsettias: Cut six of the smaller flower die from red using the new Poinsettia die set. Cut three of the smaller flower from green. Cut 3 of the flower center from red and three more from yellow backed with double-sided adhesive. (You can glue these yellow dots in if you don’t have double sided adhesive.) Cut six of the small pine branches from green. Watch YouTube video above for assembly instructions.
Flower Twist Pop Mechanisms: Cut three mechanisms using the Twist Flower Pop-Up die set. (If using a double-side paper, cut three 1/2-inch by 1 1/2-inch strips of the same paper.) Assemble as shown in assembly video at the bottom of this linked page. Attach center mechanism to show flower through the front circle window. Space out the other two mechanisms on either side and check for catchpoints before permanently gluing into card.
Sentiments: “Merry Christmas” is a previously released die set by Karen Burniston. The inside stamps come from the new stamp set Season of Cheer. The red dots are leftover from the flower centers. The “Made with Love” stamp on the card back is from the new Special Delivery stamp set.
Envelope: The card fits into #10 business size envelope. I decorated the back flap by covering it with gold paper and leftover fir branches and red dots from the flower centers.
