Monster Pop-Up Card

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, Monster Playful Add-Ons, Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, Greeting Labels and Rawr! As well as Ovals – Crosshatch and Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch. 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.

Cardbase: I used a 12×12-inch sheet of yellow cardstock folded in half and used the largest plain rectangle die from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set placed with one corner over the fold to get a diagonal opening card base. Assemble card as show in video.

Monster Pop-Up: Using the Playful Pop-Up set, cut one of the largest die, the decorative notched square and the β€œY” piece die from blue cardstock. From the Monster Playful Add-Ons die set, cut the large eye and tooth from white. Cut the arms from blue. Cut the eye center and mouth with tongue from black. Cut the horns from green and stencil on the stripes. Follow the video above and photos to assemble.

Monster Body: The body is an oval from the Ovals – Crosshatch die set. The leg is the β€œY” piece die from the Playful Pop-Up set cut down. Eye highlights, finger nails and toe nails along with buttons were added with a white gel pen.

Bow: From the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons die set, cut from yellow 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: Rawr! Is die cut into the green panel before being glued onto the yellow cardbase. The blue shadow was cut with the word die taped inside the shadow die and the tiny pieces from the centers of the R’s and A glued in place onto the yellow. Inside the sentiments were stamped using the Monster Sayings set and cut out using the Greeting Labels die set. A white label cut from the same labels set is for a personal message. The card back has an eyeball and “I only have eye for you.”

Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (6 1/2×4 3/4-inches) size envelope.

The shadows behind “Love” and MEOW! are cut from pink vellum. Pink sparkle heart embellishments finish the card front. β€œBig Hugs” is from the Cat Sayings stamp set.

Wild Puppy

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 β€œY” 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 β€œGo Wild!β€œ and β€œWoof!” are die cut. β€œWoof! 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.

Tie a red ribbon around the card at the book binding section. Glue ribbon into the binding section and glue section shut. Cut four panels from plaid cardstock using the second largest die from the Rectangles – Crosshatch set. Two 1×5.5-inch red strips were added to the cardbase edges to cover over the pivot panels that stuck out of the closed card.

Autumn Pop-Up Card with Animals

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team November 2025 Challenge whose theme is FUN FACES. I made a slimline Thanksgiving card using two new stamp sets – Fall Phrases and Fun Faces 1.

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

Cardbase: I cut a 7 1/2×8 5/8-inch rectangle from white 65lb. cardstock. Then I scored and folded in half to create a 3 3/4×8 5/8-inch slimline cardbase.

Animals: Using the Woodland Animals and Winter Animals die sets make two bears, one raccoon, one fox and one squirrel. Use the Fun Faces 1 to stamp on the animals eyes, noses and mouths. Make four red apples from the Tiny Fruit set and add to all the animals except the squirrel. Make an acorn for the squirrel using the tiny acorn die in the Woodland Animals set.

Leaf and Acorn Border: Cut eight oak leaves from the Tree Pop-Up set and seven acorns using the tiny acorn die in the Woodland Animals set. (I cut a bunch of leaves from orange and brown cardstock and four more acorns knowing I would use the leftovers to decorate the inside of the card.) adhere to front border strip as shown in the photos and video.

Pumpkins: Cut three pumpkins from orange patterned paper. Dry emboss them using the pumpkin die from the Autumn Elements set in your die cutting machine’s embossing sandwich. Cut two of the pierced labels for the Little Labels Pop-Up side labels from green patterned paper. Layer together a pumpkin onto the green label and decorate with leftover leaves and acorns. Adhere the remaining pumpkin to the card back.

Label Pop-Up: Cut one of the large die in the Little Labels Pop-Up set from green cardstock. (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked page.) Assemble as show in the video above.

Sentiments: The inside stamped sentiments are from the Fall Phrases set. The die cut β€œHappy Thanksgiving” is cut from orange pattern paper using the Word Set 7 – Autumn set. From white cardstock, cut two medium sized labels from the Labels – Crosshatch, the center label and three banners from the Little Labels Pop-Up set to stamp. Adhere the largest two labels as places to write a personal message.

Envelope:  The card fits into a #10 business size envelope whose back flap was stamped in brown ink β€œThankful Grateful Blessed” from the Fall Phrases stamp set.

  • Glue in the pop-up mechanism
  • Attach the “Happy Birthday” to the box pop-up making sure there are no catchpoints and that the sentiment stays inside the card when closed
