Thanksgiving Pop-Up Card!

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! I have a fun Thanksgiving themed pop-up card for you today. In Canada, Thanksgiving is in early October, so I am trying to get a couple of cards done to give to my family this Thanksgiving. For this card, I used Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop-Up along with the Oven Pop-Up and Feathered Friends die sets. 

For this card, I started with a 5 x5 sized card base using an orange cardstock. I added some polka dot patterned fall paper. I die cut the window in the front of my card and added acetate in-between the patterned paper and the card base. Then I added frames around the front and back of the window. 

I die cut the pop-up mechanism from the same orange cardstock as the card base and glued it into my card using Lineco Neutral pH adhesive in a fine tip bottle. 

I then die cut my kitchen using the Oven Pop-Up dies. I had to trim some of the die cuts to make the "flat" kitchen instead of a pop-up one. Then I die cut the turkey from the Feathered Friends die set and added a chef hat using the Baking Borders. 

I added a sentiment to the inside using Karen Burniston's Word Set 7 - Autumn and a Spellbinders stamp set called Fall Greetings. 

For the front of the card, I added some fall foliage using Karen Burniston's Autumn Elements die set. I wanted to keep is simple because there is so much going on inside the card.

Spooky Slimline Halloween Card

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! My card today was inspired by one of my Karen Burniston Design Team members, Sandy! She made this fantastic new home card using the techniques Karen taught in the June 2025 Zoom Class. Sandy has also been making some amazing Halloween cards so she has definitely inspired me!! Thank you Sandy!!

For this card, I used Karen Burniston's Landscape Rectangle Accordion inside my slimline card base. This is actually a little bigger than a normal slimline. It's 3.75 x 8.75. But bigger means fitting more stuff into the card!!! 

I started by making the two rectangles that will make up my card base. I used heavy weight smooth black cardstock and cut two rectangles, one 3.75 x 8.75 and one 3.75 x 9.25 then scored the second rectangle at 8.75. I used Lineco Neutral pH adhesive in a fine tip bottle to hold the two pieces together. 

I then created the background using Distress Oxide Ink in Twisted Citrin, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness. I splattered black ink on to the backgrounds. 

I die cut my Landscape Rectangle Accordion three times and then followed the instructions from Karen Burniston's zoom class to add it the inside of my card. I added some Halloween paper trim around the Landscape Rectangle Accordion. 

I used Karen Burniston's Skeleton and Bat die set along with the Halloween Scene die set to create my scene. Then added the Small Script - Halloween die cuts to add the Trick or Treat sentiment to the inside of my card. 

I added a place to sign the card and then added another square with a sentiment on it from Lawn Fawn's Costume Party stamp set.

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - September 2025 - Letter

  Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! It's Designer Challenge time again and our theme this month is "Letter". For my card, I decided to use the Mailbox Pop-Up but turn it into a bloody Halloween card. I had my best friend in mind who just loves Halloween. Every year she dresses up and her costume and make up is always amazing! So I made this for her. 

For this card, I started with a 5x7 side fold card. To make this, I cut a rectangle from heavy weight smooth black cardstock 5x7, then I cut a second rectangle 5x7.5. I scored this piece at 7in and then lined up the two pieces, keeping the fold on the inside of the card. I used Lineco Neutral pH adhesive in a fine tip bottle to glue the two pieces together. The fold will be covered up on the inside by the background. 

Next, I created the two background pieces. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Twisted Citrine, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Black Soot. I also created the moon using Tim Holtz Moon Mask Stencils. I splattered black ink on the backgrounds and set them aside to dry. 

I started die cutting all my pieces from various Karen Burniston die cuts. These are all listed below. Once my background was dry, I began gluing down all the pieces. Including the Mailbox Pop-Up. I created the mailbox to look old and rusted. The letter looks old and I tried to make it look bloody. 

I added the Mini Alphabet letters to create my sentiment. I used my Cricut to create the word "Bloody" which I cut from white cardstock and then used Copic markers to colour it in. Then I added Glossy Accents to it. Once dry, I added gloss lines using a size 10 Gelly Pen. 

For the front of my card, I wanted to create the house, so it kept with the theme on the inside. I used Karen Burniston's Holiday House and turned it into a Halloween house. I added another sentiment using the Mini Alphabet. I created the same background as the inside of the card as well. 

I really love making Halloween cards. They are just so much fun! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please make sure you check out the Design Teams cards, they are all so amazing! Below is a list of the supplies used. Happy Crafting!
