Thanksgiving Pop-Up Room Scene Card

It’s time for the November 2024 Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge of Autumn or Christmas Cheer celebrating the season.

I’ve chosen to celebrate Autumn and Thanksgiving harvest foods with another 6×6-inch pop-up kitchen scene card featuring the new Sweet Treats clear stamp set along with the previously released Oven Pop-Up, Oven Extras, Baking Borders, Explosion Pop-Up and Bitty Ball and Mini Ball Double-Ups die sets.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Here is a link to my Trimming the Christmas Tree room scene card similar to this kitchen 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-inch rectangle. Watch video to see the order of assembly of pieces and when to cover pieces with decorative paper.

Windows: Using the Bitty Ball Double-Ups large die, cut windows into the two 6 x 6 1/2-inch rectangles of the card base. Use the Mini Ball Double-Ups to cut the rear window in the 4 1/2-inch tall wall panel. The door uses the RectanglesCrosshatch and the Long RectanglesCrosshatch as well as the leftover rectangles from the oven rack and black circle from the oven burner in the Oven Pop-Up set.

Oven: Cut two of the Oven Pop-Up base and cut one in half and assemble the base pieces as shown in the tutorial video above. Complete as shown in Karen Burniston’s assembly video. (Watch assembly video on the dies’ linked page.)

Cabinets: Cut eight of the cabinet doors from the Oven Extras set. (Watch assembly video on the dies’ linked page.) Add to the scene as shown in the tutorial video above. The double cabinet counter tops are cut using the second smallest rectangle in the Short Rectangles-Crosshatch. (While the tutorial video shows using the Explosion Pop-Up for the base of the island cabinets, you could just use a cut down oven base for this island.)

Decorations: The pies come from the Baking Borders set while the oven mitts are from the Oven Pop-Up set. The turkey in the roasting pan in the oven as well as the orange pot on the stove are from the Oven Extras set as is the pop-up cubes that animate them as the card opens. The pumpkins and leaves on the outside panels are from the Autumn Elements set.

Sentiments: The card uses two sentiments from an American Crafts journaling card paper sheet as well as the Sweet Treats stamped sentiments. Die-cut “Happy Thanksgiving” and “Welcome Autumn” come from Word Set 7- Autumn.

Envelope:  The card is thick, so a special padded envelope is needed to mail it.

Trimming the Christmas Tree

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC October 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 and Penguin 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.

Windows: Using the Bitty Ball Double-Ups large die, cut windows into the two 6 x 6 1/2-inch rectangles of the card base. Wreaths from Fireplace Extras 2 and bows from Fireplace Extras 1 decorate the windows while a sled from the Snow Charms decorates the wall.

Fireplace: The fireplace is made and decorated using the Fireplace Pop-Up, Fireplace Extras 1 and Fireplace Extras 2 die sets. (Watch assembly videos on the dies’ linked pages.)

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.)

Tree: The Christmas tree is made using the Christmas Tree Pop-Up with the Christmas Tree Add-Ons and Charm Rings. (The colorful paper chain is made up of all three sizes of paper jump rings in the Charm Rings die set.) For the string of colored lights that is draped across the floor comes from the Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons set.

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.

Special Delivery Pop-Up Card

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.

For this baby card I used the new Postage Pop-Up die set and Special Delivery stamp set along with the previously released Baby Charms, Welcome and Mini Alphabet and Numbers die sets.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Cut a 7 1/2 x 5-inch piece and three 7 x 5-inch pieces of decorative cardstock. Score and fold the larger piece at 7-inches to form a tab. Glue the tab to one of the other pieces of decorative cardstock to form a horizontal or landscape side-fold card.  Glue the remaining pieces to the inside of the card.

Pop-up Blocks: From the Postage Pop-Up die set, cut four of the square block pop-up mechanisms from kraft cardstock and four of the tabbed pull strips from the decorative cardstock to match the inside of cardstock of the card. Install as shown in the video.

Decorations:  The bottle, onesie outfit and duck are all cut using the Baby Charms die set.

Sentiments:  “My heart soars with joy for you” on the card front comes from the Special Delivery stamp set as does the “Made with Love” circle stamp on the card back.  The “Welcome Baby” inside is all die cut using the Mini Alphabet and Welcome die sets.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5 x 7-inch) size envelope. The back flap is decorated with a yellow die-cut duck from the Baby Charms set.

A Gothic Classic Pop-Up Book

This card was made for Craft Roulette #237 whose parameters included a pop-up card, Trick or Treat colors, boutique, and jewelry.

I chose to make Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein as a pop-up book card using dies by Scrappy Tails.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: The card base is made using the Scrappy Tails A7 Pop up Book die set. (I apologize for not having included video of the frame assembly.) The accordion fold pages frame that goes inside the book card can be seen in an assembly video by the designer by clicking here.

Sentiments: The “Halloween Greetings” is a stamp from PoppyStamps. The “Boo-tique Books specializing in Gothic Novels” was computer generated and die using a label die from the Scrappy Tails Life is a Story die set.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) size envelope. “This book belongs to…” is stamped in black on the envelope flap.

Lilies of the Valley

According to the Language of Flowers, a small book that Amazon Drygoods reprinted from its Victorian original, lilies of the valley mean a “return of happiness.” And so to, does this card promise happiness from it envelope through to its inside message.

Based on a panel die from Tutti Designs, that was die-cut twice (one white cardstock and one green paper), this card comes together with its sentiments. The front “With love” is a foiled strip on scrap cardstock. (Sometimes when my mojo is lacking, I make a batch of foiled sentiments to have on hand.)

Inside the sentiment is heat embossed onto vellum. The longer sentiment is:

“Let us be grateful

to people who make us happy;

they are the charming gardeners

who make our souls blossom.”

Only liquid glue was used in the assembly of the card.

The back flap of the envelope was stamped with a Card Making Magic sentiment “OPEN immediately to release happiness!” to hint at what the enclosed card is about
