Poinsettia Pop-Up Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

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 Christmas card that uses the new die sets of Poinsettia and Merry Christmas Lorna Add-Ons along with Season of Cheer stamp set.

CARDBASE: Cut an 8×6-inch rectangle of a double-sided patterned paper and fold in half to form a top-fold 4×6-inch cardbase.

LORNA LABEL: Follow the assembly video for the Lorna Label Pop-Up but cut out a frame by sandwiching the largest decorator label inside the Lorna Label die. Glue the Merry Christmas Add-Ons frame to the Lorna Label frame and decorate with words from add-on set before gluing the Lorna label pop-up into the card.

POINSETTIA: From the Poinsettia die set, cut one of the large leaves die from green and another from red. Cut one red from smaller leaves die. Brush the edges of the leaves with ink slightly darker than the cardstock. Cut the small, dotted center piece once from red and once from yellow. Save the yellow dots to inlay into the red center. Glue the large red piece onto the large green piece and then top with smaller red piece. Make sure to alternate the leaves for full coverage. Adhere red and yellow flower center. Die cut five pine branches and two of the berry stems to add around the large flower.

SENTIMENTS: The Merry Christmas Lorna Add-On set has a holly leaves shadow die that is just the right size to stamp the word “and” onto and glue to the bottom tip of the Lorna Label frame. The “and” and “Happy New Year” are from the Season of Cheer stamp set. The fishtail banner is a die in the Lorna Label Pop-Up set. The holly leaves and berries are in the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-On set.

Reindeer Games

| ullycatdesigns

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.

This card was inspired by the age-old question pertaining to the Rudolph-The-Red-Nose-Reindeer song – What are reindeer games? My interpretation is Winter games Olympic style with Rudolph winning the sledding race!

Watch the process video to see how this card was made.

Cardbase: The cardbase is an A7 size (5 x 7-inch) purchased card base with decorative papers glued to the four panels. I used the largest rectangle in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set to cover the inside of the card and leftover pieces for the outside of the card.

Finish Line Flag Pop-Ups: Two Photo Fans Pop-Ups were created using white cardstock brushed with glitter gloss the arms and decorator pieces. the arm decorator pieces were cut in black and the two sided flags come from the Pirate Ship Add-Ons set. (You can also find a single flag in the Castle Pop-Up set.)

Sitting Reindeer: The sitting reindeer uses the body of the Snowman Pop-Up with the face, antlers, legs and tail from the Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons set. The sled is from the Snow Charms set. (If I were to make this card again I would make two sleds and glue them into the card first, placing them so they overlap under the reindeer trimming off the excess front and back sled pieces before gluing the reindeer base over them and into the card.)

Standing Reindeer: Two reindeer were cut using the Christmas Animals die set. One reindeer is assembled on the reverse side so that the reindeer can face each other.

Sentiments: “Reindeer Games” was created using the Mini Alphabet die set while the inside “You’re so Cool” was stamped on a fancy label from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set with a stamp from the Winter Hugs stamp set. The “Made with Love” circle image on the back of the card is from the Special Delivery stamp set. The blank personal message label is also from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set. (I didn’t have a piece of matching cardstock wide enough for this label die, so I elected to center the die and cut with flat top and bottom of the label.)

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 size envelope with the back flap decorated with leftover blue flags.

World Card Making Day Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made to celebrate World Card Making Day and Craft Roulette episode #235 whose parameters were: not a single-fold A2 size card, mood board colors, world element and star.

I cased a card I had previously made and posted back on September 30, 2024 changing the patterned papers, scarf/steering wheel colors and adding a star to the plane’s tail. This card uses Simon Says Stamp! Stamptember with Riley & Company’s Fly By stamp set. (The Simon Says Stamp! Fly BY is sold out, but you can use this Riley & Co. Airplane Riley stamp set instead.) It also uses pop-up dies by Karen Burniston.

Watch the video to see how this card was made.

INSIDE: Plane and banner are interactive because they are on Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Ups. The plane moves left and the banner moves right as the card is opened. The window frames on the card front panel were created from dies in Karen Burniston’s Twist Panel Pop-Up.

SENTIMENTS are all from the Riley & Company’s Fly By stamp set. “Flying by to say…Happy Birthday” and “Life is a journey. Enjoy the flight.”

CARD BACK: Signature and Craft Roulette inspired for World Card Making Day stamp with aviator’s cap.

ENVELOPE: Card fits into an A7 5×7-inch envelope stamped with “Your plane awesome: and some clouds.

A Haunted Chair In The Pumpkin Patch

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the October 2024 Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge with the theme of a haunted location. I chosen an Adirondack chair in a pumpkin patch to be haunted.

Watch the process video to see how the card was assembled.

Cardbase: Cut two 5 1/2 x 11-inch rectangles from black cardstock. Fold each rectangle in half to form two 5 1/2-inch square top fold cards. Two pieces of patterned paper from Graphic 45 were used to cover the inside floor and front card cover.

Adirondack Chair: Watch the assembly video for the Adirondack Chair located at the bottom of the linked page.

Ghost Mechanism: Watch the assembly video for the Spinner Square Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. The ghosts are from the Halloween Charms set and were cut once from white cardstock and had their eyes and mouth stenciled on using the die. They also were cut from glow-in-the-dark paper for their backs and to hide the black mechanism arm.

Decorations: The large pumpkins are from the Autumn Elements set and the smaller jack-o-lantern and green hands are from the Halloween Elements set. The background pumpkins were cut from the Graphic 45 papers. The black cat on the chair is from the Skeleton and Bat set. The Slim Pattern Plate – Spiders was cut from pearlescent vellum and the spiders colored black. Then it was placed on the diagonal on the card front.

Sentiments: The card front uses the “Happy Halloween” from the Halloween Charms set while the inside uses a Spellbinders BetterPress “Happy Haunting” sentiment. Other inside sentiments – “Boo!” “Sit for a spell” and “Hey Pumpkin” – are cut from the Graphic 45 papers.

Envelope: The card will fit into a 6×6-inch square envelope or a 6×9-inch catalog envelope.
