April 2025 Karen Burniston Designer Challenge

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our April Karen Burniston Designer Challenge.

Check out Karen Burniston's blog on Wednesday (US Time) when you will be able to see what all the designers created for the challenge this month, plus Karen will have an amazing video tutorial to share with us all.

Our challenge theme this month is ... DESIGNER'S CHOICE" - it's a wide open challenge! Make whatever you want!

With Easter less than a couple of weeks away, I decided to create an Easter themed card for this months challenge. I thought all the tiny easter elements included in some of the smaller die sets (charms, etc) would work well with the Postage Pop-up die set, so I pulled that out to use for the main pop-up element of my card.

I like making 5 x 7 cards, which is what I made for my card today and seeing it is a larger size I decided to add two postage pop up elements on my card ... one of the right and one of the left.

The patterned paper I used for my card, I used the stripes horizontally for the background panels and then used the same paper but with the stripes going vertically for the postage pop up panels.

For the bunny and the chick in the egg I used dies from the Spring Animals die set. The Happy Easter and the pink and purple Easter eggs are from the Easter Charms die set.

The Easter Basket is from the Animal Add-ons 5 die set which I filled with Easter eggs using dies from the Easter Borders die set. The row of white bunnies is also from this die set.

Finally I added a large flower and leaves using dies from the Twist Flower Pop-up die set.

For the front of my card, I created an Easter Bunny ... I used the bunny elements from the Animal Add-ons 5 die set along with a large oval die from the Crosshatch Ovals die set. I surround the bunny with flowers using flowers from the Twist Flower Pop-up die set.
