It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s November 2025 release of new dies and stamps.
Today’s card uses the new dies of Playful Pop-Up, Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, Greeting Labels and Meow! As well as Rectangles – Crosshatch and Sending Love. The dies and stamps will be available for pre-order starting November 24, 2025.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card. (I apologize for the video quality. I was having some technical issues while recording it.)
Cardbase: I used a 12×12-inch sheet of dark pink cardstock folded in half and used the scalloped rectangle die from the Rectangles – Crosshatch set placed with one corner over the fold to get a diagonal opening card base. Cut two full scalloped rectangles from light pink cardstock and four smaller rectangles from flower patterned paper. Glue flower panels to the inside of the dark pink cardbase trimming of diagonal corners. Glue remaining two panels to light pink pieces. Assemble card as show in video.
Cat Pop-Up: Using the Playful Pop-Up set, cut one of the largest die and the “Y” piece die from white cardstock. From gray cardstock, cut the decorative notched square die in the Playful Pop-Up set, and from the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, the paws, and large cat ears . From pink cardstock, cut two of the paw backing die, the small cat ears and tongue. From black, cut one nose-mouth piece and one set of small eyeballs. From white, cut one set of large eyeballs and whiskers. Follow the video above and photos to assemble.
Sentiments: The die-cut sentiments of Sending Love and the tiny hearts are from the die set of the same name. MEOW! is cut from light pink cardstock using the die of the same name. The shadows behind “Love” and MEOW! are cut from pink vellum. Pink sparkle heart embellishments finish the card front. “Big Hugs” is from the Cat Sayings stamp set. The labels are cut using dies from the Greeting Labels. The paw on the card back comes from MEOW!
Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (6 1/2×4 3/4-inches) size envelope.
