Crealies - Lots and Lots of Pillar Cardzz with Video

We are so happy that we can introduce our new Design Team member Karen!
She tells about herself:

My name is Karen Hasheck and I live in north central Wisconsin in the United States. I discovered stamping and card making in the spring of 1999 and have been totally addicted to this awesome hobby ever since. I am recently retired and love to create cards with innovative dies and to experiment with new fun folds and products, and then share those cards in my weekly YouTube videos, on my blog and social media and Facebook groups. I have written many full length articles about card making techniques that have been published in national magazines and have had hundreds of my cards published as well.

My blog and social media links are:

Hello fellow Crealies fans! I am Karen Hasheck from Karen's Kreative Kards and I am so happy to be sharing my first video and cards as a part of the Crealies Design Team! 

The August release at Crealies is full of many unique dies and gorgeous butterflies, but the die set that intrigued me the most was the set called A Lot of Pillar Cards. For the new video, I created single, triple, double column, surprise pop up, square and easel pillar cards.  This pink triple pillar birthday card with the Varia Swallowtail butterfly is one of my favorites. To see how easy it is to use the A Lot of Pillar Cards die set to make a triple pillar card, be sure to watch the video. Here is another view of this triple pillar card:

Another fun idea to try with the A Lot of Pillars die set is to make an easel card like this one with the large Swallowtail Butterfly die: 

I did a partial die cut of the large Swallowtail butterfly to create the easel which is held up by two pillars and decorated with more butterflies from the Set of Three Butterflies no. 44. Of course all the dies used in these cards are linked below. You can see many more cards made with these dies from the August release in the new video out today. I hope all my cards encourage you to give these ideas and products a try. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have some fun being creative and then spread that joy out into the world!
