Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - October - Clear Creations

Hi Bloggers

This month playing along with the Karen Burniston Designer challenge and the brief was "Clear Creations aka Defying Gravity"  that is any card creations using the ever growing collection 
of dies from Karen and using a clear materials to look as those something is just "there" and not 
actually on something.  I have made two pop and cuts designs both using the New Sassy Pop n
Cut and some stamps too.

I will share one today and one tomorrow. :)

Today's offering was made as I said using the Sassy Shape Pop n Cut which I cut from the
packaging from some other Sizzix dies, I never throw this stuff away, its handy for cards like this. 
This plastic is strong so you do need to crease on the crease lines very firmly and it will need
a bit of a squidge down but I must say using this stuff means that the card sits lovely open and 
would be nice to display.  I used the clear material to cut the pop and cuts base to sit the bee 
hive on and I also suspended the buzzy bees on some clear strips to look like they are flying!

Those eagle eyed Karen Burniston fans will notice that I have used

two other dies from her collection.  I will link all the materials I used to my 

favourite UK Pop N Cuts Supplier Crafts U Love

XL Horizontal A2 Card base die

3D Sassy

Hello Sizzlet Set

 and from Sizzix

The stamps are an old Stampin Up! set from my stamping stash.

What a fun card!

Winter house.

My second  pop n cuts from Karen Burniston and sizzix.  

This one is using the house. Sooo cute to use.

My next house will be a Halloween one.  So keep your eyes peeled.

Pop n cuts fun

I have been playing with Karen Burniston's pop n cuts again.  These are from the snippets collection.  All available on line from www.craftsulove.co.uk

The clown was made using the sassy pop n cut die and matching thinlet dies. As soon as I saw the shape I thought of a bow tie.  I used punches to create the clowns face and hair. 

Having problems with this post so will pop other card on another post. 

Made me giggle making this card!  I hope it put  a smile on your face?

Little houses

This weekend me and the boys have been playing with the sizzix house die from Brenda Walton. Harvey's is the yellow one, Caiden's the pink and mine the blue.

Here is my second card for my Karen Burniston post for this Month

and I decided to not to use a Pop n Cut card but to use some of 

Karen's other wonderful dies.

For the card below I used the Sizzix Sizzlets set 3pk Noel set and the

Sizzix Bigz Die Evergreen 3-D Pop Up

I cut the wording from some lovely silver glitter card from Crafts U Love.

I love how the centre tree pops out and the deer are looking at it.  I wish in hindsight

I only put a star on the centre tree.  Never mind, but next time I will do that.

The tree stamp is Penny Black Tannenbaum - Crafts U Love

Snowflakes are Penny Black - Crafts U Love

Deer are Marianne - Crafts U Love

With this gloomy weekend weather it has been hard to take a decent photograph.

Sizzix fun- Karen Burniston Dies

Lots more fun being had with my Karen Burniston dies and this time I left the Pop N cuts dies alone and reached for two other fabulous dies.  The "Card with Floating Frames" die and the "Evergreen tree Pop up" die.

The first up is my Halloween card made using the floating Frames Die.

I do enjoy Halloween with my boys and I do own a few

Halloween dies and stamps.  This paper is years and years old from

my paper stash and the image is  Darcies Design rubber stamp.

Here is a picture of the inside and you can see what an amazing

inside this dies creates.

I used an old Martha Punch for the slime and cut a very light blue 

glitter card and coloured with my gelatos to make the slime green.

This glitter card is from Crafts U love.  Its great, easy to die cut, punch and colour too!

I will be back tomorrow with my Christmas card using the Evergreen die, I have left the images

on my PC inside and don't want to go out in the rain tonight to get it. Sorry!

Pop n cuts flower die

I have not played with this pop n cuts for a while so it was nice to re visit an old friend:)

I was trying to stay up late last night so I needed something to keep me awake so I chose a bright and happy card using some lovely imaginisce papers.  My late night played dividends and I saw 11 shooting stars :) and a few wishes were made too.  Wow what a show it was.

I used the companion set for this pop n cut die and also another companion set with had the Hello and flourish. I brought mine from www.craftsulove.co.uk in the UK


Used : 3d poinsettia flower, hello sizzlet die set,

In the garden

My next card for the Pop N Cuts is one looking outside with the garden chair.  I was inspired to cut into my chair by a card I saw on Pinterest by Calla Lily Studio  her card is beautiful.  I didn't have the same dies as her to create my chair so I looked at all my other dies to find the perfect chair and managed to find a basket to use.

Lots and lots of other dies later I created this little scene.

I always struggle to get the photos right on these cards but I think you can see everything on it

 (everyfink if you are SuzieQ) Remember if you are in the UK you can get your dies from www.craftsulove.co.uk  Tell them Caz sent ya!

In my Garden shed

Once again I am honoured to have been asked to join in the Pop N Cuts fun with Karen Burniston and her fabulous group of designers.  Pinch myself time!

This time around we have been asked to use any of her Imagery designs.  How scary that out of the 
10 imagery inserts I have 9 - opps how that happen?  Just that Stampin Up! one I need to get my mitts on (need to find a Stampin Up! demo sponsor!! or some spare pennies to get it)

Well I think you all know what is in my shed.  But have a look at this little shed scene that I made with the Karen Burniston Pop N Cuts dies from Sizzix.  You can purchase the whole Pop n Cut collection from Crafts U Love - apart from the dress form which is a Stampin Up! one

Here I have used the 3d Chair to create an "inside" scene.. a very woody shed with a cozy chair, tassle blanket and a cute little scene through the window too.  I have used various other items to create this scene as well as using real mud for the little muddy pile inside shed too.

My next card I used the 3d Butterfly Window die and the companion set Butterflies and

Labels die.  I found this one last piece of Bo Bunny paper that would be perfect for it.

These Pop n cuts Label and Butterfly dies are really easy to use and make real

WOW cards in a matter of minutes.  The Chair can be quick too but I like to really

add the details to make these cute little scenes.

Pop n Cuts snippets

I have some more pop n cuts cards to show off next week. But for now here are a couple of little snippets.
