Karen Burniston Pop It Up

Love Notes – A Pop-Up Valentine

| ullycatdesigns

IT’S TIME for the Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC January 2026 Release Blog Hop. (See GIVEAWAY details at the end of this post for blog hop list.) 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 pre-order NOW!

Today’s card uses the new dies of Stage Pop-Up and Grass Stage Add-Ons and two new stamp sets – Love Notes and Stage Scenes.  The card also uses previously released die sets of Mailbox Pop-Up, Fence Add-Ons and Greeting Labels.

Watch the process video to see how I made these cards.

Stage Pop-Up Base: Using the Stage Pop-Up die set, cut two of the largest die from patterned cardstock. Cut six of the rectangle decorator dies from the same patterned paper. From green cardstock cut two of the grassy stage-side strips and two of the smaller grass strip from the Grass Stage Add-Ons die set.  Glue the decorator rectangles on to the front panels of the grassy stage-side strips.  Assemble the stage platform as shown above in the video.

Fence: Cut two of the fence pieces from the Fence Add-Ons die set. Trim off the right end large post and small tabs on each end to create a symmetrical fence with a large center post that is 4-inches wide. Repeat with second piece. Glue the pieces together matching up the fence pickets.

From green cut twice the short grass die from the Mailbox Pop-Up set and then cut each of them in the middle. Glue these pieces to the ends of the grass strips cut from the Grass Stage Add-Ons. Center and adhere the grass strips on the bottom edge of both sides of the fence. Trim the grass flush with the fence edge.

Mailbox: Cut the mailbox, lid and circle dies in the Mailbox Pop-Up set from silver cardstock. Cut the same pieces from the back side of the silver cardstock so you will have the reverse set of pieces. (A suggestion that I should have done when I cut my reverse pieces, is to lay a thin piece of paper on your cutting mat then then the sliver cardstock silver side down. Then the dies and top plate. This will help eliminate all the scratches that will be embossed onto the reverse silver side.)

Cut from brown, two mailbox posts and glue them to the center post of the fence on each side. Glue the Two lid pieces back-to-back. Glue the front mailbox piece onto the top of the brown post. Adhere the back mailbox piece back-to-back with the front mailbox with no glue on the front edge where the lid will be slid into it. Trim if necessary and glue the lid into the mailbox.  Add silver circles to the mailbox sides to cover the holes. Add the red flag to the front.

Tiny Envelopes: Cut seven of the envelopes in the Mailbox Pop-Up set from thin white cardstock. Fold on the side stitch lines. Glue one envelope together as shown in the video above. Cut one set of the tiny hearts in the same die set from red. Glue hearts to envelopes top flaps with a dot of glue.

Sentiments: Stamp seven of the Love Notes sentiments on thin paper and cut out with a square die and trim to fit into the envelopes. (I used the stitched 1 1/8-inch square die in the Greeting Labels set and trimmed on the stitched lines to get a 1-inch square.) Add a ¼-inch strip of thin paper to the back of the note to go in the mailbox envelope as shown in the video. Write “Lift” on one side and “Pull” on the other side of the strip. From Stage Scenes the “Push” with arrows was stamped on white and glued to the bottom of the stage to help the card recipient know how to open the stage card.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with one of the Love Notes sentiments stamped on the back flap.

A Halloween Pop-Up Fence Card

| ullycatdesigns

This Halloween card is based off a pop-up picket fence card that Karen Burniston made for her design team challenge for April 2025. (You can see her video here.)

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


Cardbase: Start with an 8.5 x 11-inch piece of patterned cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A9 (5.5×8.5-inch) card. Mark on the inside fold 4.75-inches up from the bottom edge.


Iron Fence: Cut two of the fence piece, using the Iron Fence Pop-Up die set, from heavy black cardstock. Watch the video below to see how to cut the two fence pieces into the gate, and the left and right fence pieces.


Pop-Up Mechanisms: Watch the assembly video above on how to cut-out, fold and attach the three mechanisms. Cut two of the Katherine Label Pop-Up L-shaped mechanism and one of the smallest angle pop-up from the Mini Pops Pop-Up die set.


Decorations: The Halloween Borders die set was use for all the outside decorative borders as well as the bats inside the card. The raven is from the Iron Fence Pop-Up die set. The hands are from the Halloween Elements die set.


Sentiments: “Boo!” on the card front is cut using the Halloween Elements die set while the “Happy Halloween” inside is from the Halloween Charms set.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inch) size envelope stamped with sentiments from the Queen & Co. stamp set. The cobwebs are from the Tim Holtz stamp set and the dancing skeleton is from Riley & Company.

Day 1 – Week of Good Cheer Christmas Cards

| ullycatdesigns

This is Day 1 in the Week Of Good Cheer Christmas Card series featuring cups and mugs of winter beverages like hot cocoa and mulled cider. Today’s card uses Karen Burniston’s Flower Pot Pop-Up die set and Winter Hugs stamp set. (GIVEAWAY opportunity near end of post.)

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

Cardbase:  I started with a purchased A6 sized (4.625×6.25-inches) cardbase and matching envelope. Use the large journaling cards in the paper collection to cover the front and back panels of the cardbase. Die cut two scalloped rectangles from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set for the inside of the card.

Cocoa Mug Pop-Up:  Watch the assembly video for the Flower Pot Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. Cut and emboss the napkin from the Coffee Cup Pop-Up. Tape napkin pieces together to form a square, leaving a thin gap between the pieces. Die cut the tabs in the Flower Pot Pop-Up into the napkin. Cut two sets of the candy cane (reversing the paper on one set) from white and red cardstock using the dies from the Stocking Pop-Up. Cut several large marshmellows using the Camping Charms die set. Cut a spoon from silver mirror cardstock using the die in the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up set. Using the same set, cut the mug handle twice positioning the die so that it cuts just a thin strip of the mug.

Sentiments:  The front sentiment is a journaling card from the paper collection. Inside are Fancy labels die using the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. The smaller label is stamped in pink and brown ink using the Winter Hugs stamp set.

Envelope:  The back flap is covered with stickers from the Simple Stories Paper Collection.

These are two additional Christmas mugs of good cheer that I made using the same technique for the Flower Pot Pop-Up.

A Reminder- Teacup of Flowers

| ullycatdesigns

This thinking of you card was based off of Karen Burniston’s May 2025 Virtual class card #2 which uses her Coffee Cup Pop-Up as the base for the pop-up teacup with elements from her Tea and Coffee Pop-Up, Tea and Coffee Borders and Flowers and Bee die sets.

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

Cardbase: The cardbase is a 5×12-inch piece of double-sided Maja Designs cardstock folded in half to form a 5×6-inch top-fold card. Inside two decorative panels were added near the fold. Four pieces of blue ribbon were attached to the outside panels using double-sided tape. The teacup on the back panel is from the Tea and Coffee Borders die set.

Teacup Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Coffee Cup Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. Then watch the video above to see how I modified the construction of the teacup using elements from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up and Flowers and Bee die sets.

Sentiments: The card front sentiment was stamped in blue ink using a Scrapbook.com stamp. Inside are Karen Burniston die cuts of “Happy Spring” and a fancy label for a personal message. The tiny die-cut hearts throughout the card were made with a die from the Tea and Coffee Borders set that cuts three hearts at a time.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with a die-cut teapot from the Tea and Coffee Borders glued to the back flap.

Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie

| ullycatdesigns

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.
