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.

Watch the video below to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: I started with a 7×10-inch piece of patterned paper folded in half to form an A7 side-fold card.

Color center fold gap with marker close in color to patterned paper. Add decorative stripes for side borders. Decorate the outside with journaling cards and stickers from decorative paper collection.
Front of CardBack of Card
Basket Pop-Up: Cut the Flower Pot Pop-Up main pot piece twice from a dark brown cardstock. Cut two sets of strips with smiley faces from the same brown cardstock. (Watch Karen Burniston’s assembly video located at the bottom of the linked Flower Pot Pop-Up page.) Cut four sets of the striped side and top pieces from the Popcorndie set from a light brown paper. Save all five waste strips from each of the sides to weave through the decorative side pieces to make the basket. Cut one square base piece with tabs from the Flower Pot Add-Onsset in dark brown cardstock.
Decorations: From the Fishing Boat Add-Ons die set, cut all three of the fish dies three times from a silver gray cardstock. Cut two of the heart picks from the Bouquet Bits die set in green and save the heart waste pieces to use as greenery in the front corner of the basket. (I ended up only using the heart pick in this card.) Cut one pail and handle from silver mirror cardstock. (Color handle with black alcohol marker.) Cut three cattails from the Bayou Animals die set from green and color cattails brown on both sides. (In the video I call these bulrushes from the gator and frog set.) Cut five green leafy pieces from the Flower Pot Add-Ons set. From the Fishing Boat Add-Ons die set, cut the fishing rod twice. (If using patterned paper, flip paper to backside to cut the mirror image of rod.) Cut one fishing line from silver cardstock.

The green heart pick that holds the card is also in the Bouquet Bits die set. “Every day is a good day when you’re fishing” is from the FishingPhrasesstamp set and cut out using the second smallest crosshatch die in the Squares – Crosshatch die set.

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s January 2025 release of eight new dies and four new clear stamps. For this Father’s Day card I used several of the new sets including: Paper People and Fishing Boat Add-Ons along with the previously released Boat Pop-Up dies and the new FishingPhrases stamps. The new release will be available on January 27, 2025.
Watch the video below to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: I started with an underwater pattern cardstock rectangle that was 5.5 x 8.5-inches and folded it in half to form a top-fold horizontal 4.25 x 5.55-inch slimline card. Next, I cut two of the largest die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch set from blue and white checkered paper and covered the inside panels. The outside panels used journaling cards from the coordinating paper collection.
Fisherman: Using the Paper Peopledie set cut one figure from flesh colored paper. (It is best to use your thinnest cardstock and decorative papers as the figure will need to be covered on both front and back from the waist up.) Cut hair and clothes to suit your card recipient. The hat with a fishing lure attached comes from the Fishing Boat Add-Ons set.
Fish and Fishing Rod: The Fishing Boat Add-Ons set includes dies to cut three different fish as well as a pail with a handle and a fishing rod, fishing line and three hooks. (It also includes an outboard motor, motor mount, and a hat.) I cut all the fish twice for this card from a greenish gray cardstock and colored the fish with glitter brush makers. The rod I cut twice from a dark green cardstock and the line once from silver cardstock. the line is sandwiched between the two layers of the rod. Take two of the jumping fish and glue them back to back except at the mouth. Feed the fish onto the hook and glue shut. The pail I cut twice from silver cardstock and the handle just once. (The handle knob is colored with a black marker.) There is a slot at the top of the pail that you can slide the small fish through.
Boat Pop-Up: Using the Boat Pop-Up die set, cut one of the boat’s hull or sides and one of the boat deck from matte silver cardstock (or use my trick of dulling the shine with dried layer of glue.) Cut two of the tabbed mechanism strips from a lightweight cardstock. (Assembly video for Boat Pop-Up set is at the bottom of the linked page.) Follow the directions to assemble boat except replace the rowboat seat with the fishing seat and use the pail of fish to cover front tab. Attach outboard motor using the slotted mount strip. No need for oar locks or oars.
Sentiments: There are two sentiments on the card – “Every day is a good day when you’re fishing” and “Have A Reel-y Great Father’s Day.” Both were stamped using the Fishing Phrasesclear stamp set with black ink onto white copier paper and die cutting with the smallest fancy label in the Rectangles and Labels- Crosshatch set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 size envelope which was has the last of the die-cut jumping fish glued to the back flap.
This card was made for Craft Roulette #220 whose parameters included for a card for a dude, dragon colors, basket(s) and chart(s).
I chose to make a fishing lure pop-up birthday card using stamp and dies by Stampin’ Up, HoneyBee Stamps, Karen Burniston and Waffle Flower.
Cardbase: I started with an A6 (4 1/2 x 6 1/4-inches) sized purchased cardbase with matching envelope.
Pop-up Mechanism: Watch the assembly video and tips video located towards the bottom of the linked page for Karen Burniston’s Photo Collage Pop-Up. These will help you understand where catchpoints can happen with this mechanism.
This card was made for Craft Roulette #214 whose parameters included for Project – appreciation, candlelight colors, “Leave it to ….” element and retiform.
Cardbase: My finished card only used two rectangles of 9×3 3/4-inches (scored at 1/4-inch) and 8 3/4×3 3/4-inches. (Skip making the small panel.) After decorating front of tabbed rectangle, glue tab to back of smaller rectangle. Cover the card base in patterned paper.
Dancing Letters Mechanism: (Watch Karen Burniston’s Designer Challenge video for my inspiration for my card.) I did not reverse the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up mechanisms as Karen did. I folded all of my mechanisms as they were designed. My strips of plastic were the equivalent of two of the mechanism arm die glued together. Use glue dots or double-sided tape when attaching items to the plastic.
Sentiments: The front sentiment was computer generated and printed on copy paper. Then fussy cut into two lines of words. And glued in place.
Envelope: This card would fit into a #10 business envelope.
Card Base with Window: Starting with a 10 x 7 inch piece of cardstock, scored and folded in half to create a 5 x 7 inch top folded card base. Position the Mini-Ball Double-Ups die so that it will look good from the outside as well as the inside next to the fireplace. The orientation of the widow will be up-side down from what is on the opposite side of the card. Die-cut the window with the card open on a die-cutting machine. (This is the only time you’ll need a wide platform die-cutting machine. If you only have a 6-inch-wide machine you can cut you card base in half, cut your window and glue a strip of paper as the card hinge.)
Cut “logs” from wood grain paper, ink the edges to create roundness and glue in place both on the outside of the card and the inside wall. Cut thinner strips of the woodgrain paper for the floor of the cabin, ink edges and glue in place alternating the seams as a real floor would be installed. (I had left over pieces of woodgrain paper from cutting Karen Burniston’s Landscape Rectangle Accordion that I used to frame the window.)
Fireplace: Watch the assembly video before assembling. Cut TWO of the fireplace fronts and emboss them both to show the bricks. I tried several different crayons until I found a three color-mixed crayon in the Crayola True-to-Life series of crayons that blended brown, black and burnt orange to color the bricks.
I glued one of the brick fireplace fronts upside down as the back wall of the fireplace. Next is the hearth piece colored to be sooty sandstone that glued to the floor of the card.
I find it easier to attach anything hanging from the fireplace mechanism before I install the mechanism. After experimenting with how best to attach the pot from the Good Luck Charms set, I ended with gluing the charm circle loop to the part of the mechanism where the Santa boots would dangle. I glued some flames to the bottom of the pot to make the fire be all around the pot. The pot moves a little when opening and closing the card.
Glue together the fire and logs and then attach the cube-like pop-up strip into the card base and attach the fire. Glue the fireplace mechanism into card base. Then attach brick fireplace front and mantel. I use thin foam squares to attach the mantel to the brick fireplace front.
Accessories: Fireplace tools and fender are from the Fireplace Extras 1 set. The lantern is cut from silver holographic cardstock colored with black permanent marker using the small lantern die from the Camping Charms set. The fish is also cut using a die from the camping charms and uses shimmer cardstock with distress inks. The metal plate the fish is on uses the circle from the snowman set. The rugs are from the oval crosshatch set and the deer head is the Christmas animals set on a plaque cut from the smallest crosshatch labels’ set covered in Glossy Accents. The only die that is not Karen Burniston is the fishing rod by Tayored Expressions.
Sentiments: “Happy Birthday” is a single die while “DAD” is double cut from the large alphabet dies from green and black and then slightly over-laid for a shadow effect.

Envelope: A brown kraft paper envelope completes the card with stamped images from the companion stamps of the patterned papers by Craft Consortium.
