Karen is planning to release 18 new dies this winter. Everything from a pop up birthday or wedding cake to a palm tree with a hammock to a castle with add on mermaid/princess or knight/dragon. Also re releasing a couple of designs she had marketed before with Elizabeth Crafts. I want to order some of her dies. It is just so hard to CHOOSE!!! |

Oh no I didn't mean to make you feel bad. It made me chuckle once I realized no one had died  |

Well you beat me to it! I was busy Monday and yesterday and tonight after I got off work I thought I'd better come post. They now have them on her website as preorder. I'd better get deciding! Here is my personal favorite!  Karen's Website (to order)Here is her digital catalog that has all her Karen Burniston in Cahoots with Riley dies since last June. The new dies are first. That popup cake and all the accessories will be MINE! On her video, she says she brought it back and redesigned by request. I am one of the requesters!  I might not get the numbers yet but for sure the extra decorations first thing. The popup cake is a redesign from her Sizzix days. This one is SO much better and different. She couldn't pu t as many details in the first version because Sizzix wanted it to be a steel rule die, not a wafer thin die. Here is the link to the sneak peek on her blog.Excuse me, I need to go preorder! |

That's some really complicated card making! I really like the castle, but I don't think I have the patience to make a card like that. Really impressive |

Really impressive I have become addicted to her videos lately, and SHE makes it look easier than you might think. Prob the reason that I haven't already grabbed up a bunch of these (other than that I need to eat and pay for necessities OTHER than craft supplies) is I wonder if I have the patience and skill to make these cool interactive cards work. One of her older dies I know will be in my order will be the Twist Pop Card die. I made a couple of these from scratch using instructions I found on the internet, and they worked, but not well. I am thinking the perfect measurements of the die are the key... |

grammadee if a joint order would save shipping I’m still up for that although I’m watching my spending for a bit. I have my eye on the Christmas tree and the flower pot if I can get the budget to work out.

Has she been in the crafting world and I just didn't realize it? The last time I heard that name was 2005! I don't YouTube or follow cardmakers (like only cardmakers, I follow scrappers who make cards but like hen McGuire I don't follow).

Has she been in the crafting world and I just didn't realize it? The last time I heard that name was 2005! I don't YouTube or follow cardmakers (like only cardmakers, I follow scrappers who make cards but like hen McGuire I don't follow). I think Karen has been licensing her card designs for 9 or 10 years. She did Sizzix for a while, I have her Sizzix popup snowflake and only realized a few months ago that it was Karen's die. Sizzix had a bunch of her designs that I wanted and just couldn't afford at the time. The original popup cake was one of them. I only have two of her Sizzix dies. She did a whole bunch for Elizabeth Craft Designs for about 3 years, that ended last January and they had until December 2017 to sell them out. She started her own company that started releasing dies last June. I have a lot of ECD and a fair amount of her new ones. As far as being complicated, they are not really. Her dies make it easy. The first card or two of some designs might seem hard until you've done one or two and then it is easy! She has videos that show you just how to do it and ALSO has downloadable pdf sheets that show you step by step. I like that she has full color pictures that come with the dies AND a tiny short how-to on the back as a reminder. I just take her dies off the back, cut a piece of vent cover magnet sheets to put where the dies where and then slap them on the magnet and put the whole thing in a zipper bag. I like freezer bags because they are tougher. The smaller dies fit fine in a quart sized bag. I use my heat tool with the Fuze tip to cut down gallon bags! I do NOT want to lose any tiny dies. If you have any questions on any particular card dies, just ask. I probably have it or something like it! I can NOT make a regular card anymore, something has to pop somewhere! I actually have redone the insides of some cards I'd finished a year or so ago and added a popup inside! Oh and on some of the mechanisms, I've found white glue works best for the small parts that need to be glued. |
