It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for May 2025 using the theme of fluffy. I chose to make a card celebrating the three-headed dog, Fluffy, from the book and movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone using the Heart Collage Pop-Up, Cat and Dog as well as the Paper People die sets.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Cover the four panels with decorative papers. (I used Ciao Bella’s Wizard Academy paper pad.)
Fluffy Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Heart Collage Pop-Up. Cut out one of the collage mechanism from black cardstock as well as three dogs using the Cat and Dog die set. Assemble as instructed in the video above. Use a white gel pen to add eyes, nose and mouth to the dog’s heads before attaching.
Academic Robe Pattern by Sue Small-Kreider 2025
Ron, Harry & Hermione: Watch the video above to see how I transformed the Paper People into these well-known characters. Harry’s glasses come from the Tiny Accessories 1 die set. (My academic robe pattern is pictured above.)
Sentiments: All the sentiments used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Crackerbox Stamps.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a Crackerbox Stamps castle and an owl post stamp on the back in brown ink.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #265 whose parameters included gift card, train colors, science element, and add a flower. I used a Craft Roulette stamp set and three Karen Burnistondies die sets.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Using Karen Burniston’s Tag Book Pop-Up die set, I cut two of the large tag frames from oxidized blue mirror cardstock and two more from oxidized copper-colored mirror cardstock. The rectangular hinge die I cut once from white cardstock.
Pop-Up Panels: I glued my thin decorated paper to a piece of thin white cardstock and let dry before cutting out the Flower Pivot Panels piece. (Follow the assembly instructions in her video on the die set’s linked page.) The six small flowers are cut from solid colored cardstock scraps using the dies from the same die set as the panels.
Sentiments: The framed “Happy Birthday” on the tag front is from the Happy Birthday Lorna Add-Ons die set. The stamped “itty bitty gift” on the back tag pocket is in brown ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.
Envelope: The card fits into a purchased A6 (4.5x 6-inches) size envelope or larger.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #264 whose parameters included a card for an influencer, dreamy colors, crafts/crafters, and off center.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Cut an 8.5×11-inch piece of heavy white cardstock into two pieces that at 4.25×11-inches. Score and fold in half at 5.5-inches both pieces. On one piece score and fold at 2.75-inches.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #262 whose parameters included a thank you card, 1950s colors, toast(s)/bread(s), and brown paper.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Score and fold in half a8.5x 5.5 rectangle of silver mirror cardstock. From the Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set, cut the toaster shaped die with its feet just slightly over the fold of the silver folded cardstock to form a toaster shaped card hinged at its feet.
Toaster: Cut one whole toaster from silver and another from gray cardstock. Cut enough of the toaster lever knob to have two knobs that are black on both sides. Glue the knobs to the inside of the toaster card’s left side near the feet. Using 1mm thick foam tape, place tape around the inside of the folded shaped toaster card to form a U shape with the opening is where the slot is. Attach the silver toaster over the foam tape to form a pocket with the slot as its opening. Repeat gluing in knob, adding foam tape and attaching the gray cardstock toaster to the other inside side of the card. Add double-sided tape to the back of some shiny black cardstock or junk mail before cutting out two of the spiraling squiggle from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Karen Burniston Merry Christmas Pop-Up and three of the toaster feet bar from Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set. Adhere the squiggle stickers to the inside center of the silver toaster and to the back of the card’s toaster. Adhere the feet bar to the silver toasters. The gray cardstock should be without decorations.
Toast Cards: From brown kraft paper, cut two bread shaped cards using the die from the Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set. Cut two small bread shapes using the smaller die in the set from white. Ink the inside edges and the whole outside of the brown cards with a dark brown ink. Lightly ink the edges of the white pieces. Stamp sentiments onto the front outside of cards and tops of white pieces before gluing the white to the inside of cards.
Sentiments: The toast cards’ sentiments were all stamped in brown ink using the Rubbernecker Thanks Set and Lawn Fawn’s Push Here stamps. The toaster card front has die cut letters cut from black cardstock/shiny junk mail backed with double-sided tape to form stickers. The “TOAST” word shadow was cut from white and adhered to silver mirror card with double-sided tape. All the die-cut sentiment is cut using the Trinity Toaster Card set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope stamped on its flap a piece of bread with a heart using the Lawn Fawn Let’s Toast stamp set.
