Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - March 2026 - For the Birds

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! It's Designer Challenge time and our theme for this month is For the Birds. For my "card" I used the Mini Ball Pop-Up and Karens awesome box design to create this fun surprise card!

For this card, I started by making all three owls. I used some of Karen's paper packs to make them along with the Mini Ball Pop-Up and the accessories that come with it to make the little owls. I added glossy accents to their beaks and used a Gelly Pen to add shine dots to the eyes. 

If you want to see how to make the owls, Karen has a fantastic assembly video on YouTube for this, which you can see by clicking here

Once I had my owls done and set aside to let the beaks dry, I created the box. This is a FREE pattern on Karen Burniston's website. Here is the link: https://karenburniston.com/karens-pretty-springy-ball-box-templates/?searchid=284390&search_query=box

I used some heavy weight brown cardstock and some pretty patterned paper from Echo Park called My Favorite Fall. I used both sides of the paper to add to my box. 


For the front of the box, I added two circles, then added the "hip hip" sentiment to the top of the white circle. Then I die cut the word Hooooo-ray from green cardstock and added it underneath. I die cut a large banner piece to added a sentiment to using black cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark Ink and white embossing powder. Lastly I added a little owl using the Feather Animals die set. 

Check out the card in action below!
