It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s November 2025 Release of new dies and stamps.

Today’s cards use the new dies of Playful Pop-Up, Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, Greeting Labels, Dog Borders and Woof! as well as Go Wild!, Rectangles – Crosshatch and Waterfall Card. A new stamp set, Dog Sayings, was also used. The dies and stamps will be available for pre-order starting November 24, 2025.

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

(NOTE: Below are the specifics for the A2 right pull teal colored card.)

Cardbase: I used a purchased kraft side-fold A2 cardbase. Using the largest of the Rectangles – Crosshatch dies, cut two from patterned paper. Adhere the rectangles to the front of the card and to the inside right panel. (Cut a piece of pattern paper 4.5×5.75-inches and save to cover the back panel once the staples have been added to the card assembly.)

Dog Pop-Up: Using the Playful Pop-Up set, cut one of the largest die and the “Y” piece die from a dark brown cardstock. Cut the decorative notched square die from light brown cardstock. Follow the video above to assemble but do so in reverse for a right pull strip. Cut one rectangle .75×1-inch from the patterned paper. Cut one piece of clear thick plastic packaging .75×2.5-inches and another strip of lighter weight acetate .5×3-inches. Cut a cover strip also .5×3-inches from the same pattern paper as the inside panel. (The .5×3-inch pieces are the guide strip.) Once the guide strip over the pull piece has been installed and stapled in place, glue the 4.5×5.75-inch piece of pattern paper over the card back to hid the staples.

From the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons die set, cut from a light brown cardstock the paw arms and the dog ears. From dark brown cardstock, cut two of the paw backing die. From black, cut one nose-mouth piece and one set of the small eyeballs. From white, cut one set of large eyeballs. From pink cut one tongue. Watch the video above for how to assemble.

Bow: From the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons die set, cut from red cardstock – the largest eyeball, the largest cat ears and the paw arms. Trim off the paw end of the arms to make a fish tail ribbon ends and assemble as shown above.

Sentiments: The card sentiments “Go Wild!“ and “Woof!” are die cut. “Woof! Is used twice inside the card and once on the card back. Inside there is a stamped sentiment of “Your dog thinks you’re cool (and I do too!)” was stamped in black and cut out using the largest oval from the Greeting Labels die set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.
