Karen Burniston February Challenge - Cutesy or Artsy?

I'm back with the second day of the Karen Burniston February Challenge and I today I have made a "Cutesy" design.  I have hundreds of stamps and yes, new ones come out and you want to buy them all, but for this card I decided to dig through some really old designs and make the most of the space that the Rectangle Accordion brings.

The Rectangle Accordion really does pack a punch space wise and has a lovely

area to work on.

Instead of using any edges with this I simply cut the rectangle accordion

pages from cream card and then again using patterned paper.  I then cut out the

centres of the patterned paper and just used the frames to decorate and strengthen the cards.

For the front of the card I used the postage stamp die from the Rectangle Pull die

and some little flags from the Lots of Pops die too just to add another colour accent to it. I love the splash of blue among the pink.

All the Karen  Burniston dies are from Crafts U Love 

Other materials used :

House Mouse Stamps

K&Co Clear Heart tape 

Clearly Besotted stamps for the heart sprinkles and the 

heart cookie inside & all the words

Inspired by Karen Burniston's challenge video

I was inspired by Karen Burniston's recent video on the monthly challenge where she showed you how to make a triple pivot card.  

You can see her post and the video HERE

I choose the Katie Pivot (my fav) and made this cute little card for my Sister in Law's 50th Birthday.  Don't be scared they are sooooooo easy to make.

I used the Cute stamps from Purple Onion Designs

and the wording are dies from Cleary Besotted and were a birthday

gift from my friend Suzie Q.

Here is the inside and you can see the triple pivot in all its glory!
