Karen Burniston Pop It Up

A Summer Fete Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston April 2024 Design Team Challenge with the theme of Thirst Quencher. I chose lemonade as my thirst quencher and a card theme of a summer fete (festival or fair).

At a fete, there are generally small booths selling baked goods, drinks and other trinkets or handicrafts, so my card is a slimline (3 3/4 x 8 1/2-inch) card with three food booths using Karen Burniston dies.

Cardbase: Start with an 8 1/2 x 7 1/2-inch rectangle of a thick cardstock. (I used white.) Score at 3 1/2-inches and fold in half to create a top-fold 3 3/4 x 8 1/2-inch card base.

Booths: Cut three 6×3-inch panels of striped paper. (If you have longer than 6-inch striped paper cut them 7 1/2×3-inches.) Score and fold each panel at 3 3/4-inches. Using the pop-up center die from the Explosion Pop-Up, center the die on the fold of each panel.  Train the folds as directed in the assembly video for the die set located at the bottom of the linked page. Glue pop-up panels inside card with the long side attaching to the inside top panel.  Cover the bottom panel with grassy patterned paper. (I cut strips of the 6×6-inch patterned paper 1-inch wide to go through the pop-ups and cover over the striped paper.) I used a border print card layer to created the tablecloths on each booth table.

Posts and Banners: The posts are cut from glossy white cardstock using the Street Lantern die with the scrolling arms cut off. The pendant banners are made using the die from the Twist Panel Pop-Up set and threading them onto baker’s twine. The twine was wrapped around the knob top of a post before gluing it in place. (The two ends of twine can be taped to the front of the card to be covered over by the front panel.) The green bows that cover the looped twine on the posts are from the Street Lantern Pop-Up set. (I found it helped with the opening and closing of the card to place a small drop of glue at the top back center of each pendant to keep them from becoming catch-points, but still allowing them some dimension.) I used computer generated “Pies,” Lemonade” and “Cakes” printed on coiper paper and cut out with the banner label from the Lorna Label Pop-Up set.

Card Front: You will need to create a panel to hide the banner twine ends under. Cut a 3 3/4 x 8 1/2-inch of blue cardstock and a 3 3/8x 8 1/4-inch rectangle of dotted printed paper. Glue the dotted paper on top of the blue cardstock with an even border all around. Cut ten fishtailed banners from decorative paper using the die from the Twist Panel Pop-Up set. Cut the letters and shadows to spell out “SUMMER FETE” using the Mini Alphabet die set. Glue the letters onto the shadows and shadows onto the banners being careful not to cover the holes at the top of the banners.

Thread the two words on two separate pieces of twine. Die cut the “Enjoy the” from different colors using the Enjoy The Ride set. Once the placement of the words and banners have been established, tape the banner twine ends to the back of the panel. Glue the words and banners down onto the panel. Attach panel to cardbase front. (I used glue and double-side ½-inch tape.)

Pies: I created four pies using two different die sets. The top view lattice cherry pie and the key lime pie were created using the pie dies in the Baking Borders set. (I brushed the cherry pie red with a red glitter brush pen for some shine.) The horizontal pies were made with the pie die from the Picnic Elements set with the base piece cut from red and the crust cut from brown. All pie crust were inked with a light brown ink. The horizontal pie crusts had their slits inked red with an ultra-fine tipped red marker. I attached the horizontal pies using a foam square and a pop-up cube from a strip of white cardstock. (You could use the pop-up cube from the Oven Extras die set instead of making your own.)

Lemonade: The pitcher and glasses of lemonade were created from clear vellum with yellow cardstock behind. All the pieces were cut using the Picnic Elements die set. The pitcher is adhered to the pop-up base with a foam square and a drop of glue. The glasses are attached to a strip of clear packaging plastic with double sided tape all along the strip. The strip was threaded through the pop-up base and attached to the backside of the pop-up. (I covered the exposed adhesive on the strip with anti-static powder.)

Cakes: For these small cakes, I used the cupcakes in the Baking Borders set. I left the border base layer attached and trimmed off the excess behind the frosting. The bottom row has its center cake glued to the pop-up base while the upper row is attached to a pop-up cube.

Message Labels: The two white scalloped labels inside the card are for a personal message and are cut using the die from the Twist Panel Pop-Up set. (I did two to hide the seams of my patterned paper.)

Envelope: The card will fit into a #10 business size envelope.

Potted Pets Baby Pop-up Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette#206 whose parameters included Project type of card with a heart, vintage colors, plant(s) element and lace on the base.

In honor of Craft Roulette’s host Mary Gunn’s new grandchild, I made a new baby card using the parameters listed above.

Cardbase: I used a 5×7-inch purchase cardbase and covered all four panels with vintage green patterned paper. The decorative stripes and lacy decorations were scraps from the opposite side of the paper.

Potted Plants: I decorated the panels with potted animal planters that were made from solid color cardstock using My Favorite Things Potted Pets die set.

Pop-Up Twist Panel: I used Karen Burniston’s Twist Panel Pop-Up die set. Watch video below for instructions.

Sentiments: I used Karen Burniston Welcome and Baby Charms die sets to create the “Welcome Baby.” In the video above I explain how I used Karen Burniston’s Connectors word set dies to perform “word surgery” to create the phrase “oh baby.”

Pop-Up Chick In A Basket

| ullycatdesigns

Wanting a basket to put a hatching chick pop-up ball in, I came up with a collapsible basket card for Easter using several of the new die sets in Karen Burniston’s February 2024 release.

How to make this interactive card:

Chick: Make two Mini Pop-up Balls – one entirely yellow and the other half yellow, half white. Assemble chick following Karen Burniston’s assembly video located at the bottom of the Mini Pop-up Balls page. Cut six of the top and bottom eggshell jagged pieces and one hexagon for the top of the egg from white cardstock using the dies from the Animal Add-on 5 die set.

Basket: Cut four of the basket pieces from the Wide Woven Basket Box Card set and assemble as shown in the KB assembly video at the bottom of the linked page. Trim off the side tabs on the four basket pieces. Watch the following video. Cut two of the largest crosshatch squares from brown.

Closure Sentiment: Cut the Shadow from the Happy Easter word set from white. Cur the words from yellow and ink bled to a darker yellow. Die cut eggshell and chick pieces following assembly video for Spring Animals.

Glue assemble chick to sentiment.  Cut eight of the smaller eye circles and two of the larger eye circles from the Mini Pop-up Balls die set. Glue four of the small circles onto one of the large circles. Cut a piece of string at least 24-inches long and glue one end on top of small circle stack. Glue the last four circles on top of the string end, thus sandwiching the string in center of the small circles stack of eight. Attach to top of stack the last large circle. Once the stack is dry, glue to the back of the sentiment and then onto top basket flap. Let dry with a weight on top of it.

Envelope: This card would either be hand delivered or mailed in a bubble pack envelope.

A Practically Perfect Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time to see more of Karen Burniston’s February 2024 release of new dies.

There is a wonderful scene in the Julie Andrew’s movie Mary Poppins, where she takes measure of the children with her tape measure and when her measure is taken it says “practically perfect.” This is a birthday card for the “practically perfect” person in everyone’s life.

Cardbase: I used a purchased A7 (5×7-inch) cardbase and envelope. Cut four 5×7 panels of decorative paper. (I used a Mary Poppins themed paper collection from Carta Bella.) Glue two to the outside and two to the inside of the cardbase leaving the center fold uncovered. (I used two panels of striped paper inside the card, matching up the stripes at the fold.) Decorate the front and back with journaling cards from the paper collection. (I used two heart paper doilies to go under the front journaling card which was popped-up with foam tape, while the back had a copier paper scalloped border cut using the scalloped rectangle die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set and trimmed to fit.)

Double Lorna Platform: Fold a piece of pink decorative cardstock 4×8-inches to form a 4-inch square. Using a bone folder, make the fold crisp. With the paper folded, place the largest die from the Lorna Label Pop-Up set with the open tab above the fold matching the score line with the fold. (I found that I had to use a shim to cut through the double thickness of the cardstock to get the die to cut through both layers. You may have to adjust the sandwich for your die cutting machine. Test first before cutting your decorative cardstock.)

Train the folds. Place the center fold of the double mechanism along the inside center fold of the cardbase. Tuck the tiny tabs on either side of the label base under and glue to the cardbase with both the mechanism and cardbase flat. Close card to train label base to pop-out. (I used a pencil to pop the tube-like base out the first time.) Glue the upper tabs to cardbase as shown on package directions.

Cut a label from white copier paper using the largest stitched label die and glue to the bottom label platform.

Tea Cup and Spoon Mechanism: When gluing the mechanism from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up set onto the double Lorna platform, a strip the width of the Lorna platform must be cut from the bottom tab of the mechanism.

Spoon: Cut from a heavy silver foil cardstock using the spoon die in the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up set.  (I used some silver packaging.) Glue the back of spoon to angled top mechanism making sure the position will be within the cup when open and within the card when closed.

Tea Cup and Saucer: Emboss the cup and saucer onto lightweight pink cardstock the die cut using the cup and saucer dies in the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up set. Leaving the cup in the die, ink through the stencil feature with pink ink. Remove from die and ink the cup’s handle, base and rim stripe with pink ink. Ink saucer base. With gold marker trace embossed lines on cup and saucer. Glue to front of mechanism.

Sentiments: A journaling card with “Sweet and Kind and Smart and Cheery” and a word tape measure border from the paper collection were used for the front and back of the card. “Happy Birthday” was cut from light blue cardstock using Word Set 2 – Birthday.

Envelope: The back flap of the envelope is covered with a border strip of a tea party.

Wakey Wakey Eggs N’ Bakey

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #202 whose parameters included a 5×7 inch card, formal & informal colors, warm(s) element and crisscross. Specifically, this card was made for a son starting a new job that requires an early morning wake-up time.

I use several of Karen Burniston’s new food borders and label dies from her February 2024 release including: Kitchen Borders, Baking Borders, Lorna Label Pop-Up and Good Luck word set as well as previously released Oven Pop-Up and Oven Extras.

Cardbase: Cover a 5×7-inch wide top-fold cardbase with two patterns of decorative paper – one for card front and inside top (think wallpaper) and another pattern for the back and inside bottom (think flooring.)

Card Front Decorations: Using the Kitchen Borders die set, cut one silverware border from matte silver cardstock for the top of the front panel. From black cardstock cut the frying pan/skillet border twice and trim one border down to three pans. Glue the two pan borders together by overlapping skillets. (Skillets are 1-inch wide, so should have seven skillets to cover all the way across card panel.)

Stove, Cabinets and Counters: Watch assembly video for the Oven Pop-Up at the bottom of the page link before starting. I used glossy white cardstock for the stove with a piece of clear packaging for the oven window. For the oven and cabinet base I used a textured silver cardstock and also cut a square piece to cover the back wall of the oven in textured silver. For the cabinet doors on the uppers and lowers, I used the large door die in the Oven Extras set (cut from a coated black cardstock) with the matte silver knobs from the Oven Pop-Up set.

Food: Using the Kitchen Borders set, cut out 8 eggs from white and use die as stencil to color egg yolks yellow. Using the ribbon border die from the Border Blends – Trims die set, cut one from brown cardstock. Using a white gel pen color the bacon fat along one edge of ribbon. Cut ribbon into strips small enough to fit into skillet.

Using the Kitchen Borders set, Cut two pieces of bread from kraft cardstock and using tweezers to hold, ink the edges to look toasted. For the toaster, cut a toaster border from black cardstock. Cut two of the toaster covers with slots from matte silver cardstock. Cut two of the toasters from the border leaving on the tiny levers that connect the toasters. (I cut the levers off and had to use the tiny waste pieces from the stove burners as toaster levers.) Glue the silver piece atop the black piece and insert bread before glue dries positioning it according to the lever position – up with toast almost out or down with toast mostly inside toaster.

For the plate, I used the circle border piece in the Baking Borders set and cut the plate from glossy white cardstock and used the die as a stencil to draw the blue circle in the center of the plate. The spatula is in the Oven Pop-Up set and is cut twice from different cardstocks and the handle trimmed to fit.

Sentiments: The front sentiment of “Wakey Wakey Eggs N’ Bakey” were cut using the Mini Alphabet set’s shadow and letter dies. Inside the card, The Good Luck die set was used along with a computer generated “On your new job” cut out with the banner in the Lorna Label Pop-Up. On the card back the largest label from the Lorna Label was used for a personalized message space.

Envelope: Leftover toaster and frying pan are glued to the back of the envelope. (I would put the card and envelope in a padded envelope to mail, but it will be hand delivered.)

How Does the Easter Bunny Do It All?

| ullycatdesigns

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC February 2024 Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 12 new dies. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW! (Click here to go to the GIVEAWAY section.)

Ever wonder how the Easter Bunny gets all those eggs prepared to hide? He uses gnomes of course!

This card uses five of the new release die sets including: Happy Easter, Easter Borders, Animal Add-ons 5, Baking Borders and Kitchen Borders as well as eight previously released die sets by Karen Burniston.

Instructions for how I created this 5×7-inch card with the gnome kitchen are in video above. The card front instructions are in written format only and are below the video. (Sorry I had a camera malfunction.)

Card Front:  To create the scene within the oval frame, I first had to create the scene by gluing the tree, basket and bunny to a strip of grass from the new Easter Borders set. (See assembly videos for tree and bunny on the bottom of their linked pages.)

Next I glued six grassing strips, plus the waste sections between the strip cutouts to form a grassy lawn. The second basket was glued in on a different layer than the bunny.

The oval frame was cut using the two largest dies in the Ovals – Crosshatch set. The scene was glued to the back of the frame and excess bits were trimmed off the oval.

Sentiments: For the card front sentiment of “How does he do it” I cut individual letters from black using the Mini Alphabet and Numbers set. For the “Happy Easter” I cut the shadow from white and the words from yellow cardstock using the new die set Happy Easter. I brushed a coat of glitter gloss over this sentiment to add some magic to the scene.
