Meet the Sponsors

Riley and Company is a US rubber stamp company built around Riley the Moose and his friends. Red rubber cling stamps, coordinating dies, layering sheets and Aunt Martha's paints — made for crafters who want images with personality rather than one more perfect sentiment.

Their signature range is Funny Bones: retro folks and snarky sayings for the cards you send to people who can take a joke. Worth a look too are Mushroom Lane, Dress Up Riley and the Cut-Up dies.

Karen Burniston is an engineer turned paper engineer, and after more than 20 years in the craft industry she is the name behind the pop-up die. Pop-up die sets, clear stamps and cutting dies, designed — in her own words — so that "I will want to use them, over and over again, for all sorts of occasions."

Her company KB Riley LLC is the official home of every new Karen Burniston release. She co-founded it with Tanya Kostynuk, who brought Riley and Company along with her, which is why the 2 brands are in cahoots: Riley's stamps are built to sit inside Karen's pop-ups.
