Pop-Up Ball Grasshopper and Box

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team January 2026 Challenge whose theme is BUGS.

I made a Bitty Ball sized pop-up grasshopper in a bug decorated box using the die sets – Bitty Ball Pop-Up, Animal Add-Ons 6, Bitty Ball Double-Ups, Bitty Ball Access Tabs, Bug Borders, Happily Ever After along with the Oval – Crosshatch and Circles – Crosshatch.

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

Box: Cut from 12×12 sheets of cardstock one 10-inch square and on 10.25-inch square. On a score board, score on all sides of each square at .5-inch and 1-inch. Cut the corners as shown in video above to form four tabs. Assemble the two box pieces as shown in the video and glue to the inside bottom an 8-inch square of decorative cardstock. Add another 8-inch square of decorative cardstock to the box lid. Decorate the box lid with the Bug Borders insects cut into individual insects. (I used the second largest Circles -Crosshatch die as a guild in the center of the box lid to aid in the symmetrical layout of the bugs.) Uses twine or ribbon to tie the box closed.

Sentiments: Cut from red paper “Happily Ever After” using the die set of the same name and glue to the underside of the box lid.

Grasshopper: (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked page for Bitty Ball Access Tabs.) Using the Bitty Ball Pop-Up, Bitty Ball Access Tabs and Bitty Ball Double-Ups die sets, cut enough pieces to make two pop-up balls. Assemble as show in the assembly video. (Hopefully you won’t have to replace the rubber band as I did, but think through the locations of the access tabs when you assemble your grasshopper, for easy access.) Cut the grasshopper legs, mouth and eye pieces using the Animal Add-Ons 6 die set. glue in place as shown in the video above. (Remember to not glue the top edge of the decorative panel under the eyes so you can slide the antenna under it and glue in place.)

Cut the two largest ovals from the Oval – Crosshatch die set from patterned cardstock and glue together. Glue the grasshopper onto the oval making sure that it is centered when open on the oval. Use a Velcro circles to attach the oval to the bottom inside of the box.

Double Z Baseball Retirement Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #299 whose parameters were: a double Z-fold card, Rudolph colors, optimistic element and plain circles. I used Karen Burniston dies and stamps as well as Waffle Flower dies and Graphic 45 stamps to create this card.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: Using a 4.25×11-inch sheet of tan cardstock, fold in half for a 4.25×5.5-inch cardbase. Fold the front flap in half again to form the z-fold. Using the second smallest crosshatch circle die in Karen Burniston’s Circles – Crosshatch die set, center the die over the front panel folded in half to cut through the two layers as shown in the video above. Save the two circles. Cut a half-inch by 11-inch long strip of the tan cardstock and fold in half. Fold one half of the strip again in half to make the second z-fold piece for the card. Stamp all the pieces as described below before assembling the card.

Baseball Equipment: Using the Graphic 45 Good Ol Sport set, stamp the baseball bat onto the long section of the 11-inch strip. Stamp one of the saved circles with the baseball stamp. From white cut out the largest circle in the Waffle Flower Stamps Baseball Dad die set. Cut the stitching from red. Glue the stitching onto the white circle to make it look like a baseball.

Sentiments: stamp “Happy Retirement” on the second save circle using Karen Burniston’s Fishing stamp set. From the Graphic 45 stamp set add “Good Ol’ Sport” to the bottom right corner of the card using black ink.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) size envelope with the back flap stamped with “Take me out to the ball game!” from the Graphic 45 stamp set.

What’s New Kitty Cat

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team December 2025 Challenge whose theme is SONG LYRICS. I made an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card using the new die and stamp sets – Playful Pop-Up, Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, Cat Borders, Greeting Labels and Cat Sayings along with other Karen Burniston dies.

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

Cardbase: I cut a 5.5×8.5-inch rectangle from orange 100lb. cardstock. Then I scored and folded in half to create a 4.25×5.5-inch A2 side-fold cardbase. Using the largest die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch die set, cut four panels of decorative paper to cover the four card panels. (I ended up cutting three panels and using a large scrap of the decorative paper for the card back.)

Sentiments: Word surgery (i.e. – Die cut words being cut apart and glued back together to form new words) was involved to make the custom words for this card’s front. “What’s” is made from the “W” from the Go Wild die set and the “hat” from the word “Christmas” in the Merry Christmas die set. “New” is from the Happy New Year die set. Word Set 4 -Just A Note used the words “up” and “to say” as well as the words “Blessings” and “color” from Word Set 7 – Autumn, to make the words “pussy cat.” The three “WHOA” inside used the Mini Alphabet and Numbers set.

The stamped sentiments “Happy Purr-thday” and “HOME is where the CAT is” are from the new stamp set Cat Sayings. They were stamped in black ink on white cardstock and die cut using the Greeting Labels and Hearts – Crosshatch die sets. Cut an oval for a personal message to go on the inside.

Paw Print Border: Using the Cat Borders die set, cut one paw print die from black cardstock and one paw back die from pink cardstock. glue the two pieces together. Trim border to fit the card front as shown in the photos and video. Use the extra paw prints to decorate inside the card.

Playful Pop-Up: Cut one of the large die, one of the face plate and one of the “K” shaped mechanism in the Playful Pop-Up set from black cardstock. Assemble as show in the video above.

Cat: Using the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons die set, cut from black, the large cat ears, paw arms, nose/mouth, and small oval eyes. From pink cardstock cut, the small cat ears, nose, tongue and paw back pieces. From white cardstock cut one set of large oval eyes and one set of whiskers. Assemble and install as show in the video. Use a white gel pen to add the eye and nose highlights. I

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope whose back flap was stamped “Hope your day is PURR-fect!” from the Cat Sayings stamp set.

Wild Puppy

| ullycatdesigns

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 “Y” 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.

Card Front
Card Back

Sentiments: The card sentiments “Go Wild!“ and “Woof!” are die cut. “Woof! 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.
