Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - July 2026 - Box or Blocks

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome. It's Designer Challenge time for July 2026 and our theme this month is Box or Blocks. For my card, I used the Spinner Square to create a box of hearts for an Anniversary card. 

I started with a A2 side fold card base from a dark purple cardstock. I added some heart paper as my background. Then I die cut the Spinner Square pop-up mechanism from the same dark purple cardstock as my card base. I folded it and glued it into my card base. 

I die cut the large square from white and pink cardstock, creating what looks like the inside of a box for the pop-up half. The pink square I turned into the top of the box. 

I die cut several candy hearts from the Candy Hearts Box from colored cardstock. Then I used Copic markers to add some detail to my candy hearts. I glued these onto my box. Then I glued that on to my pop-up mechanism. I cut the spinner rectangle that pops out from smooth white cardstock, then stamped a sentiment on to the right side. 

For the top of the box, I used red cardstock to create a bow and ribbon, then added tiny hearts using the Border Blends - Trims die set. I also used the fancy twisty trims to add some detail to the sides of my card. 

Lastly I added a place to sign the card. 

For the front, I added the Happy Anniversary sentiment from the dark purple cardstock and added glitter gel to make it sparkle. I added more candy hearts to the front as well. 

This was a pretty simple card to create but I think it's perfect for an Anniversary card. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card. Happy Crafting!
