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.
Today’s card is an A2 size top-fold card that uses the new Snow Charms die set and Winter Hugs stamp set.
Watch the process video to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: Fold in half an 11×4.25 inch piece of white cardstock to form a top-fold A2 (4.25×5.5 inch) size cardbase. Cover all four panels with rectangles of patterned paper using the largest die from the Rectangles – Crosshatch set. Cut a frame of white glitter cardstock using the same die and the next largest die and glue to the front panel.
Mug of Cocoa: Using the Tea and Coffee Pop-Ups die set cut one mug from red cardstock covered with clear packing tape. Cut one of the largest snowflake in the Snow Charm set, snip off charm loop and cover with glitter gloss before gluing to mug center. Allow to dry before rounding/shaping mug with a bone folder. Cut from white shimmer cardstock the cupcake frosting piece from the Cupcake Add-Ons set and adhere to back of the mug with two small foam dots. Cut one steam piece from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Ups set from clear vellum.
Cut the mechanism piece and arm strip from the same patterned paper as inside of card. Cut a white crosshatch label from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set and trim off about 1/2-inch from long side. Glue the large piece of label onto the inside card floor centering it up against the fold. Glue the mechanism into card as instructed on the assembly video located at the bottom of this linked page. Attach arm to mechanism. Using a large foam dot adhere the mug to the front of mechanism. Glue vellum steam piece to arm making sure it is positioned so it does not peak-out of the card when it is closed.
Decorations: The card front decorations are from the Snow Charms set, along with some snowflake sequin mix elements. The inside spoon is from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Ups set.
Sentiments: All the sentiments come from the Winter Hugs stamp set. All the fancy labels come from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. “Snowflake kisses & winter wishes” was stamped on clear vellum with StazOn ink and the whole label was covered with glitter gloss. The vellum was adhered to the card front using glue dots.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. The back flap was decorated with a hat from the Winter Animals set and mittens from the Snow Charms set.
