Let The Music Play – A Sympathy Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the August 2024 Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge with the theme of LET THE MUSIC PLAY.

While normally I would choose to make an uplifting card for the monthly challenge, I needed a sympathy card for an organist who had recently passed.

The cardbase is made from a 7 1/4 x 8 1/2-inch rectangle of patterned cardstock folded in half to make a top-fold 3 5/8 x 8 1/2-inch slimline card. The inside is covered with strips that are 2 5/8 x 8 1/2-inches.

For the pop-up bar inside, I used a 4 3/4 x 8 1/2 – inch piece of patterned paper that was scored and folded at 1 1/8, 2 1/4, 3 3/8. And 4 1/2 inches.

Gift Card Box with Three Mini Pop-Up Cards

This card was made for Craft Roulette #224 whose parameters included mini cards, “a pretty day” colors, scent(s)/nose(s) and packaging.

I chose to make a gift card box with three mini pop-up cards to celebrate Christmas. Karen Burniston Dies were used to create the box and pop-up mechanisms.

Cardbases: Mini cards are 2 x 7-inch rectangles of double-sided papers folded in half and trimmed to fit inside the box.

Box:  Using Karen Burniston’s Candy Hearts Box die set, cut one of the box die. Assemble as shown in the video at the bottom of the linked page. Glue journaling cards to decorate the box.

Accordion Cards – Combining Old and New

| ullycatdesigns

This past few weeks I’ve been playing with some of Karen Burniston’s accordion dies released under the Elizabeth Craft Designs (ECD) and combining them with her more recent dies branded under the KB Riley LLC label.

This July 4th accordion decoration features the Accordion Star and Star Fancy Frame Edges from ECD and the Fancy Label Accordion and Fancy Solid Frame sets which are currently available on Karen Burniston’s website. The patriotic stamped images and stamped border paper are from Honey Bee Stamps.

For this pirate birthday card, I used the Ring Accordion and Ring Frame Edges 1 from ECD. The pirates are made from Set Sail Borders, Pirate Borders, Monkey and Lion, Gnome and Santa, Cruise Charms and Tiny Accessories 1. The stamped sentiments are from Karen Burniston’s June 2024 release – Pirate Sentiments and Birthday Belated.

Three Ships Pop-Up Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Christmas in July and I have a card depicting an old English Christmas carol – “I Saw Three Ships.” It uses two different pop-up ships made with Karen Burniston dies including Boat Pop-Up, Pirate Ship Add-Ons, Cake Pop-Up, Tiny Trees Pop-Up, Street Lantern Pop-Up and Farm Edges.

Cardbase: The cardbase is an A9 side fold (5 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch) with two floor flaps. I took an 8 1/2 x 11-inch sheet of 65 lb. cardstock and folded it in half. The floor flaps are 2 5/8 x 4 1/4-inch that are scored and folded at 1/4-inch to form a tab for 4-inch-long flaps.

Cake Pop-Up Ship: This ship was designed by John Watterson using four Karen Burniston dies that were released before June 2024. It utilizes a vertical fold and is placed in the center of the card.

John Watterson Ship Instructions FacebookDownload

Boat Pop-Up Ships: The two smaller ships were designed by Karen Burniston and in this card utilize the horizontal folds of the floor flaps. They use only two die sets. Watch Karen’s assembly video located at the bottom of the Boat Pop-Up’s page.

Card Front: The copyright free sheet music was computer generated and the edges distressed. The white whale and silver anchor borders are from the Set Sail Borders. I added white and red enamel drops along with the “Happy Christmas” sentiment made using the Small Script -Halloween and Small Script – Christmas die sets.

Inside: The water is created with a paper from the graphic45 Sun Kissed collection. I used the sun die in the Beach Elements set and several sizes of the Crosshatch Circles for the labels for personal messages.

Card Back: The music decorating the card back are the first two bars of the carol. It is made with dies from the Music Charms set.

Envelope: The card fits into a 6×9-inch catalog envelope. I decorated the back flap with die-cut musical notes.
