This card was made for Craft Roulette #182 whose parameters included a card with circles, vegetable garden colors, screen element and fuzz.

For this pop-up Thanksgiving card, I used Karen Burniston’s new Oven Pop-Up, along with her Memory Charms and Crosshatch Ovals

Cardbase: I used a purchased A6 cardbase that I trimmed down to 4.5×6 inches.Each of the four panels are covered with papers from the Cozy Fall paper collection. The front of the card has a stenciled wreath of leaves using oxide inks.

Oven/Stove: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page before starting the card. I cut my stove from a piece of orange cardstock covered with clear packing tape. I found that the silver foil oven door handle did not like to stay glued to the packing tape, so I reverted to glue dots to hold the handle on. The inside of the oven and pop-up platform were cut from a metallic coated black textured cardstock. I find it easier to add the stove knobs and burners to the stove in a flat position before attaching it to the card. Also it is easier to add any baking trays to the platform before attaching the oven to the platform.

Cabinets: Once the stove is attached; you can add the side cabinets. I cut the cabinets from some embossed wood grain cardstock and then inked them with brown ink to bring out the grain. The drawer and door (cookie tray) panels are part of the Oven Pop-Up set.  Decorative paper was used for the countertops. The upper cabinets are cut using the cookie tray die.

TV: The TV set from the Memory Charms die set has had its antenna and feet trimmed off and Nuvo Drops added for knobs. I screen shot a photo from the Craft Roulette episode #182 and resized it to a 1-inch rectangle, print on white paper and die-cut it with the TV screen die.

Decorations: Cotton fuzz was pulled from a cotton ball to be the steam off the tray of cookies fresh from the oven. The cookie tray, cookies, turner utensil, oven rack, oven mitt, and cabinet knobs are all part of the Oven Pop-Up set. The oval rug with its white label for a personal message come from the Crosshatch Ovals set.

Sentiments: The sentiments on the front (“Happy Thanksgiving Day”) and back (“Hello Fall”) come from the Cozy Fall paper collection.
