NEW KAREN BURNISTON SIZZIX DIE SAMPLES

I am so excited to show you the new Karen Burniston dies!  Karen is at Winter version of CHAW in LA promoting her dies, and teaching some classes.  I made several samples for her using vintage papers, antique diamond glaze, and my personal favorite B~L~I~N~G!  Together Rene' and I made a Beautiful, one of a kind, Butterfly Bling Necklace just for Karen to wear at CHA. We used turquoise colored glitter glass, a diamond glaze type glue, a silver chain from my stash, some beads,  and jewelry pieces.  We also used the stampin up embossing mini butterfly die to add the little silver butterfly on the necklace. I made matching earings and walla! A beautiful piece was made just for Karen to wear at CHAW.

  
*{It is truly a work of Art!}*

 

Of course I had to snap a shot 0f Rene' modeling it:

 

I made a Family Tree Wheel using Karen's new die that makes a wheel. I used some old photo's of my family, decorated the pieces using that same antique diamond glaze, and bling. It came together so quickly!  These are the supplies I used to make my wheel come to life:

 

 
This is a closeup of the top:

 
I used Karen's new sizzlet Crown to create a pin:

 
 
I LOVE THIS CROWN!  I added some rhinestones, antique diamond glaze, and a pin back I from my local craft store.

 I also used two of Karen's new dies to create this jewelry garland that you could attach to a gift, or gift bag and let it hang.  I really liked using the antique vintage diamond glaze on top of them to make them sparkle!

 
 

Here is a matchbox I created using Karen's Medallian die:

I used her die with the stampin up matchbox die:

 

She has a new cupcake die and it is so easy to create these pop up cards! Love it Karen!
 
 
And one last sample:

I loved using Karen's butterfly so much I decided to make a simple butter fly card.  I used another sizzix die that cuts out a scalloped card.

 

Here are some samples that my friend Rene' made:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
She made a Family Wheel, flower box, cupcake card (that card is so cool! She handmade the flowers and sewed beads on them!) I won't show you all her projects, but come back to her blog soon and you can see the other samples she made.

Gorgeous work! Love the colors, so pretty!

These are some seriously beautiful projects, Bonnie. It reflects where you are at with your art; combining scrap booking and jewelry making. That is what I love most about your blog. The fact that some of these pieces can be worn, adds another dimension. I love the use of antique glaze. It takes away some of the polished, 'newness' and adds a timeless quality. Your work is simply genius.
