Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC June Release Blog Hop. 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!(Giveaway details at the end of post.)
For my double Whirly Wheel Father’s Day card, I used several of the new dies including the Fishing Lures Charms and Whirly Wheel.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: From white 100 lb cardstock cut a 4×8.75-inch rectangle and a 3.75×8.75-inch rectangle. Score the white 4×8.75-inch rectangle down the long side .25-inch from the edge and fold up as a tab. From patterned cardstock cut a 3.75×8.75-inch rectangle. Assemble as shown in video above.
Cut decorator panels of patterned cardstock using the Long Rectangles – Crosshatchdies and glue inside the card.
Worms and Fish:Cut the largest fish lure and tail of one of the other fish lures from the Fish Lures Charms die set. Glue tail onto large fish and trim excess off the tail piece. Trim off loop at fish’s mouth. Color with glitter brush markers. Cut eight worms from brown cardstock. Add details with a white gel pen. Cut one large silver hook and add to one worm for the card front.
Double Whirly Wheels: Cut two wheels and two large thermometer arms from sturdy cardstock using the Whirly Wheel die set. Cut one washer form a sturdy cardstock. (Color doesn’t matter as it will be hidden.) Using stencil feature, ink on arrows on wheel. Assemble wheels as shown in video above.
The key to having double wheels is to glue the washers of each wheel to a separate front panel with a thin sheet of copier paper sandwiched between the two wheels to prevent any catchpoints.
Can of Worms: Cut A 3×3.5-inch piece of silver mirror cardstock. Score the backside of the piece at .5, .75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5 inches. From the same cardstock, emboss and then cut out a circle using the Circles – Crosshatch dies as shown in the video above. Assemble as shown in the video. Decorate with worms.
Sentiments: The sentiments were stamped in black using the Fishing stamp set. The two smallest fancy label dies in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set were used for the sentiments.
Envelope: The card fits into a #10 business envelope.
