Hello, this week I would like to share some cards that I have created using Karen Burniston's amazing range of Pop'n'Cuts dies. These ingenious dies really do take card making to another dimension...I love them!
Creating pop-up cards has never been this fun! This collection uses a beautiful array of magnetic insert dies with a base die to design impressive 3-D pop up shapes in just a few quick steps. There are videos with instructions on the Sizzix web-site so I won't bore you with the how-to-do's, I will just show you just what I have done with them and hope that you will be inspired to give them a go!

My photograph doesn't show the lovely embossed design that appears in the right bottom corner, it is such a perfect partner to this cute cup cut out.
This has to be my favourite from the collection. I recently made this for my son who left home to pursue his career as a chef over in Rhodes at the beginning of the summer, I was so nervous when he left but was sure he would have the time of his life so made him this. How wrong could I have been? He was returned to me as it said on the card....within two weeks of leaving having hated every second!
I have created this card in quite masculine colours because I am always thinking of a solution to every crafters puzzle...what to do when faced with making a card for the men in your life! The wide arms of the pop-up chair are quite accommodating and perfect for adding personality to the card. I have added a newspaper which is what I would find on the arm of my Dad's chair but for a female version, change the colours and maybe add a miniature ball of wool with cocktail stick knitting needles?
The rug has been created using Karen Burniston's embossing folder, just emboss your card and then carefully cut around the shape.
The amazing shape of this card allows you to stick with a really simple design, coordinated papers and a few well placed buttons are all you really need.
Here is a list of the lovely dies that I have used from the Karen Burniston's collection.
