Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to Day 2 of our Karen Burniston July 2026 New Release Sneak Peek Week. I hope you are as excited as I am about this new release. There are 10 new dies and 5 new stamp sets coming out and will be available for purchase on Monday, July 20th, 2026.
For this card, I wanted to make a scary Halloween card using the Stage Pop-Up and the new Gazebo Stage Add-On. I started by die cutting the Stage Pop-Up from dark grey cardstock. Then I die cut two slits, one on each stage piece. I die cut two tabs from smooth black heavy weight cardstock to add in the slots. This was so I could add my Witch and Cauldron after.
I then cut the band that goes around the Stage Pop-Up from smooth black cardstock. I also cut three smaller rectangles from the same cardstock and three from black glitter cardstock. I stamped Halloween sentiments on to the plain rectangles with VersaMark Ink and white embossing powder.
I glued my bands together, then glued them onto the Stage Pop-Up. I then die cut my Witch and Cauldron pieces from white cardstock and a shiny black cardstock. I coloured in the pieces with Copic markers, then glued everything together with Lineco Neutral pH adhesive. I glued them on to my two tabs on the stage base.
I die cut the railing that comes with the Gazebo Add-On from black cardstock and added that to my stage base.
I die cut the Gazebo pieces from black cardstock and glued them together as shown on the instructions on the back of the packaging. This is very easy to do! You need to die cut four of the gazebo poles. You fold them twice. You glue down one side, then attach the pole to the fold down tab on the gazebo top. This is hidden under the scalloped edge. Then you glue the other half the pole to the rest of the pole with the gazebo tab sandwiched between. Do this for all four tabs with all four poles. Then glue the poles to either side of the front and back of your stage base where the railing opens up.
Then I started die cutting all my fun Halloween pieces. I used the Skeleton and Bat, the Halloween Borders and Tiny Accessories 1. I made skeleton trick or treaters, added skulls to my vine that I added to my railing and up the front of my gazebo. This vine comes with the Gazebo Stage Add-On. I added pumpkins from the Halloween Borders and some cobwebs as well. I coloured everything with Copic markers, adding white Gelly Pen to some stuff to add some extra detail.
Lastly, I added two white pieces to the bottom so there would be a place to sign the card. I also added another Halloween sentiment using Karen Burniston's Halloween Phrases stamp set.
How cool is that new Gazebo Stage Add-On!! I just love it. It can be used for so many neat ideas. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card. Once the new release is available, I will be updating my page to include the new release dies. Happy Crafting!
