Seasons Change – A Pop-Up Card

It’s time for the September 2024 Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge with the theme of Seasons.

This card could be used for retirement, thinking of you, and encouragement depending on what extra sentiment is added to the card. Watch the tutorial video below. You may also want to watch the assembly video for the Square Spinner Pop-Up die located at the bottom of this linked page.

The cardbase is a purchase A7 size (5×7-inches) The inside decorative papers are 4 3/4 x 6 3/4-inches. The outside panels have a 5×7-inches base and a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2-inch topper. The front panels were sprayed with white ink on the blue cardstock and green mica on the green cardstock.

Let The Music Play – A Sympathy Card

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.
