It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for June 2025 using the theme of Animals and Characters. I chose to make a Wizard of Oz themed card using a variety of die sets. (See Materials Used for the list of dies used located at the bottom of this post.)

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

Cardbase: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of single-sided patterned cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Cover the two inside panels with decorative papers cut with the largest die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch die set.

House Pop-Up: (Watch the assembly video for Tiny House Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page.) Follow the directions in the process video above for the modifications made to the Tiny House Pop-Up using the Beach Bar Tiny House Add-Ons to add a porch to the house.

Characters: (Watch the assembly videos for Paper People, Knight and Dragon, and Monkey and Lion located at the bottom of the linked pages.) Follow the directions in the process video above for the modifications made to these die sets for the specific characters. For the Witch’s legs cut two strips of white cardstock 1/8-inch thick and draw red strips on them. Die cut shoes from the Witch and Cauldron die set in red glitter cardstock.

Sentiments:  All the sentiments used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Riley and Company Wizard of Oz Dress-Up stamps.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a sentiment from Riley and Company on the back flap in brown ink.
