It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for May 2025 using the theme of fluffy. I chose to make a card celebrating the three-headed dog, Fluffy, from the book and movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone using the Heart Collage Pop-Up, Cat and Dog as well as the Paper People die sets.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Cover the four panels with decorative papers. (I used Ciao Bella’s Wizard Academy paper pad.)
Fluffy Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Heart Collage Pop-Up. Cut out one of the collage mechanism from black cardstock as well as three dogs using the Cat and Dog die set. Assemble as instructed in the video above. Use a white gel pen to add eyes, nose and mouth to the dog’s heads before attaching.
Academic Robe Pattern by Sue Small-Kreider 2025
Ron, Harry & Hermione: Watch the video above to see how I transformed the Paper People into these well-known characters. Harry’s glasses come from the Tiny Accessories 1 die set. (My academic robe pattern is pictured above.)
Sentiments: All the sentiments used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Crackerbox Stamps.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a Crackerbox Stamps castle and an owl post stamp on the back in brown ink.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #265 whose parameters included gift card, train colors, science element, and add a flower. I used a Craft Roulette stamp set and three Karen Burnistondies die sets.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Using Karen Burniston’s Tag Book Pop-Up die set, I cut two of the large tag frames from oxidized blue mirror cardstock and two more from oxidized copper-colored mirror cardstock. The rectangular hinge die I cut once from white cardstock.
Pop-Up Panels: I glued my thin decorated paper to a piece of thin white cardstock and let dry before cutting out the Flower Pivot Panels piece. (Follow the assembly instructions in her video on the die set’s linked page.) The six small flowers are cut from solid colored cardstock scraps using the dies from the same die set as the panels.
Sentiments: The framed “Happy Birthday” on the tag front is from the Happy Birthday Lorna Add-Ons die set. The stamped “itty bitty gift” on the back tag pocket is in brown ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.
Envelope: The card fits into a purchased A6 (4.5x 6-inches) size envelope or larger.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #264 whose parameters included a card for an influencer, dreamy colors, crafts/crafters, and off center.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Cut an 8.5×11-inch piece of heavy white cardstock into two pieces that at 4.25×11-inches. Score and fold in half at 5.5-inches both pieces. On one piece score and fold at 2.75-inches. Glue the two cards together with the large rectangle panels overlapping as shown in the video. Cards: Because this card is going to Mary Gunn, I used images from her Craft Roulette Community Showcase gallery, picking cards that are iconic to the show. I tried to recreate some of the fun folds and bookmark cards.
Guide Sheet to Cards: This sheet is folded and tucked in a pocket on the back of the card.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.

Needing multiples of the same card layout, I made 16 cards for a dog lover’s card swap using one Echo Park Paper Company’s collection kit I Love My Dog and Karen Burniston’sFlip Frame Pop-UpandHellodie sets.
Watch the video for instructions on the construction of the cards.
Read more below on specifics of this card layout.
Cardbase: From each sheet of 12×12-inch cardstock, cut two 5.5×8.5-inch panels. Fold each panel in half to form a 4.5×5.5 cardbase.
Flip Frame Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Flip Frame Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. Cut one mechanism from matching cardstock to the card inside. Cut the journaling card down to 3 .75-inches tall x 3 inches wide. Glue mechanism and journaling card into card base as shown in video above.
Sentiments: The die cut shadow and word “Hello” on the card front are by Karen Burniston. All the flip panels with sentiments are journaling cards from the paper collection. A personalized inside sentiment panel will be added to the inside right panel.
Envelope: These cards fit into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) envelope. The envelope flaps have been decorated with stickers from the kit.

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for April 2025 using the theme of Designer’s Choice. I made a Mother’s Day Waterfall Wallet card to showcase photos and gift cards as well as Paper People charms.
Watch the following video for specifics on how I made this waterfall wallet.
Read more below on specific customizations I made to this wallet.
Cardbase: Cut a 7×10-inch rectangle of heavy 110 lb. cardstock. Score in the middle at 5-inches and fold in half. Emboss the card front using the Pattern Plate – Tiles and largest crosshatch rectangle in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die sets. (Check your die-cutting machine’s instructions for an embossing sandwich of plates for embossing with a die. If you don’t have an embossing sandwich, die cut the elements with the dies and glue on the panels in a faux embossing method.) Emboss a 5.5×8.5-inch panel of the same cardstock using the same dies. Wait to glue on the second embossed panel until after the waterfall mechanism and the handle loop have been attached.
Handle Loop: Cut a strip of wallet colored cardstock a half-inch x 8.5-inches. (I scored an 1×8.5-inch stripe every 1/8” on my scoreboard and then trimmed it down to a half inch so it would have subtle stripes on it.) Die cut two 1-inch circle frame/ring from gold cardstock and another four out of heavy cardstock. Keep the center circle to use as decoration on the wallet clasp. Glue rings back to back for a sturdier ring with the gold rings as the outside layers. (I used the eyeball circles from the Animal Add-ons 4 die set to create the ring.) Loop the strip through the ring and glue closed. Press a fold into the loop near the glued end to form a tear drop shaped loop. Glue the loop together just above the ring. Glue the lower section of ring to wallet back, top left corner making sure there is room to attach charms to the ring.
Waterfall Card/Photo Holder: Create the waterfall wallet as shown in the video above. Cut the card holder rectangles, but before folding the rectangle around the card, die cut a window out of the center of the rectangle. (I used the second smallest rectangle in the set.) Back the window with a 2×3-inch piece of clear acetate or plastic packaging. (Adhere with double-sided tape.) Fold rectangle around gift card and seal the end using double-sided tape instead of glue. Attach into wallet as shown in video.
Paper People Charms: Using the Paper People and Charm Rings die sets, create people that look like the mother’s children. Once a figure is completely created, glue a charm base to the back of its head. Glue the entire figure to a backing paper and cut out with scissors. Thread the largest of the paper jump rings through the charm ring and wallet handle loop ring. Glue jump ring closed. Repeat for other people charms.
Watch the video for basic instructions on the construction of the card’s prototype.
Sentiments: For the prototype card, the outside letters spelling “MOM” came from the Alphabet die set while the small letters that are on the card/photo holder pockets are from the Mini Alphabet and Numbers set. For the customized card, the Happy Mother’s Day die set was used for the main sentiment.
Envelope: This card will be hand delivered or mailed in a large 9.5×12.5-inch cardboard envelope.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #259 whose parameters included a card with two folds, jelly bean colors, math element, and markers.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Start with a 7 x 10-inch piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A7 (7×5-inch) card. Cover the front and back panels with decorative papers. (I used the two largest rectangle dies in the Rectangles and Labels-Crosshatch die set to cut out a frame and two panels for the outside of the card.) Once the panels are covered, die-cut the thumb hole at the bottom center of both front and back panels.
Waterfall Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Waterfall Card located at the bottom of the linked page. Cut four base squares, one base piece and pull strip from heavy solid color cardstock. Cut four large decorative squares, three larger decorative rectangles and one pull strip decorator stripe from decorative papers. Assemble as shown in video.
Sentiments: All the sentiments used on the card Spellbinders BetterPress sentiment strips. Numbers and Happy Birthday are from Karen Burniston’s Numbers, Happy Birthday and Shadow. “Again” is spelled using Karen’s Mini Alphabet.
Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope stamped with a sentiment from Karen Burniston’s Photo Memories stamp set on the back flap in black ink.
