Karen Burniston has come out with the most fabulous die. It allows you to put a pop-up element anywhere in the card. This die is something everyone can use in their stash. All you need is a #8 or #12 rubber band and a scrap of paper. So far, I have made 2 6x6 cards using some stamps I already had. It really opens up our stashes so many new ideas. The card on the right is made from a Diamond Press set called Farmer's Market. The card on the left is a set calledFrog from Acushla Stamps.
