Karen Burniston Sneak Peek Week Day 1 - Baking Charms!

 Hello and Welcome! Are you as excited as I am for the new Karen Burniston June 2023 release? Well I know I am and I am also super excited to start my Sneak Peek week with this card using the new Baking Charms. 

For my card, I wanted to create a kitchen themed pop-up to use with the new Baking Charms die set. So I created a pop-up gnome using the Bitty Ball Pop-Up along with the Mini Ball Add-On 1 - Gnomes to create my little pop-up baker!

I added the oven mitts (which is from the new Baking Charms) to her little hands and then die cut a spatula from the new die set to add to her hand. 

I created a card base that is 5 x 5 with a 1/4 in center spine. I added a flap using the Flap and Closure die set. For the inside of the card, I used some patterned paper I had on hand to create the wood looking floor and the walls. 

From there I created a round floor mat to go under my Gnome baker using the Circles - Crosshatch die set. 

To create the kitchen cabinets, I used the Squares - Crosshatch dies to create the door on the cabinets. Then I cut a thin piece of gray cardstock to create a counter top. 

I die cut the bowl, spoon, rolling pin and whisk from the new Baking Charms and added detail to them using my Copic makers. 

I then glued them down on the counter top using my Lineco Neutral PH glue. 

Before I added my little Gnome baker, I wanted to create the front of the card. I added some small magnets to the flap and to the front of the card and glued them down. Then I covered the front with a baking themed patterned paper. I added some additional squares of paper and added the word "Sweet" using the You're Sweet die set, only cutting off the You're part. 

I stamped the sentiments "Have a" and "Birthday" using VersaMark ink and white embossing powder to black cardstock and added it to the front of the card to create the sentiment. 

Once I had everything ready, I glued down my baker Gnome and my card was finished! I was super excited about the baking charms, because in my free time I love to bake. These will be great for Christmas themed cards! 

Thank you so much for stopping by on Day 1 of Sneak Peek week. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for another peek into the Karen Burniston June 2023 New Release! 

Happy Crafting!
