November 2025 Release Blog Hop
Posted by Karen Burniston on Nov 24th 2025
Welcome to our November Release Blog Hop. I'm joining the Design Team today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 15 new dies and 5 new stamp sets. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to pre-order NOW! (NOTE: dies are in transit to us and we will ship them in the order received as soon as they arrive)
For my card and video I'm sharing the assembly video for the Playful Pop-up die set. This small but mighty pop-up creates a generic chamfered square pop-up with four motion arms, including one that travels through the square. It's the type of card you'll want to open and close multiple times!
Learn the assembly of the Playful Pop-up as I make this delightful birthday card:
My card is a standard A2 size. The front of the card features the new Greeting Labels set, Cake Trims, Big Birthday Charms and Birthday/Belated Clear Stamps.
As the card opens the four swing arms begin moving.
Once open the entire dynamic scene is revealed. The card can be displayed OR kept nearby as a delightful fidget toy! (Playful, indeed!)
The Playful Pop-up has so many technique possibilities that it will be featured in at least one of the cards for each of the next three months of classes. Check out our Events page for more information about these classes. We will be selling a limited number of kits on our website or you can purchase a kit from one of the participating stores.
In December we will be making a Playful Pop-up Ladybug card and a Grasshopper Ball card.
GIVEAWAY:
To celebrate the release each of the participating blogs will be giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to a lucky person who comments on our blog posts, so make sure you join the hop and comment on everyone's blog post. (NOTE: For this blog there is no comments section, so please leave your comment on the Playful Pop-up YouTube video) Winners will be randomly chosen from ALL of the blog hop comments received on our blog posts by Monday, 1st December 2025.
