Karen Burniston July 2026 New Release - Sneak Peek Week Day 4 - Mealtime Elements

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome. I hope you are as excited as I am for this new release. The Design Team has been coming up with some amazing cards so far. I love Nicky Fodens butterfly Cascade Pop-Up and I love Frances Byrnes Christmas Gazebo! This new release consists of 10 new dies and 5 new sentiment stamp sets.

My card for you today uses the new Mealtime Elements! For this card, I started with an A2 side fold card using a brown cardstock. I then added some pretty yellow gingham patterned paper as my background. 

I used Karen Burniston's Label Charm Pop-Up for this card. I die cut the front pop-up piece out then die cut the other two label pieces from same brown cardstock as the card base. I found this pretty green patterned paper with leaves and vines on it, so I added it to the front label and the top and bottom of the card, like a border. 

I die cut the waffle from the Mealtime Elements from yellow cardstock. Then I added Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Antique Linen to the front piece of add some detail. I die cut the plate from smooth white cardstock and trimmed off the embossed edge. I coloured in the remaining plate with Copic marker, then glued the waffle on top. I trimmed any access plate away with my craft scissors. I did this for every waffle. 

I added a plate of waffles with a fork and knife to the centre label. I added the wavy die cut as syrup and then added some strawberries on top. I die cut the fork and knife from metallic cardstock. 

I cut the remaining waffles into wedges, creating a border along the top and bottom of my card. I added strawberries in between each waffle. 

For the front of the card, I added four waffles, each with different toppings. Then I added more cutlery using the metallic cardstock. 

I stamped a sentiment using the new Mealtime Phrases stamp set and Detail Black Ink. Then I added that to the front label. 

There are so many neat ways we will be able to use the new Mealtime Elements in our cards. I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card, it will be updated when the new release becomes available. Happy Crafting!
