Just a fun birthday card featuring monsters on a Karen Burniston Photo Fan Pop-Up.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Starting with a 5.5×8.5-inch rectangle of white cardstock folded in half to form a 4.25×5.5-inch side-fold A2 cardbase, the card was covered with colorful glassine paper inside and out. The inside panels were cut with the largest die in Karen Burniston’s Rectangles-Crosshatch set.

Monsters:  Monster Gallery stamp set is used as a front panel cut out as separate squares for the inside pop-up feature. The images were colored with watercolor pencils and then waterbrushed to even out the color.

Photo Fan Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Photo Fan Pop-Up die.

Sentiments:  The inside sentiments of “Celebrate your big awesome super day” and “Happy Birthday to You” are from Karen Burniston’s Photo Memories stamp set. The “Monster Wishes” on the card front and “Monster Hugs” on the card back are from the Monster Gallery stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. On the back flap there is a “M” cut from scrap paper and glued there.
