It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for March 2025 using the theme of Lake or Ocean. I made a birthday card using the Cruise Ship Add-ons, Boat Pop-Up and Cruise Charms to make a pop-up paddlewheel boat. (You can see other boat and ship pop-ups by clicking here.)
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Start with a 4.25 x 11-inch piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Cover the four panels with decorative papers.
Pop-Up: Watch the assembly videos for the Boat Pop-Up and Cruise Ship Add-ons. Cut out one of the back trim piece from the Cruise Ship Add-ons and two of the ship’s wheels from the Cruise Charms in red. Trim the ship’s wheels as directed in the video above.
Sentiments: All the sentiments used on the card come from the Sail Away stamp set except for the “Happy Birthday” which is from the Belated Birthday set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a sentiment used on the card on the back flap in dark brown ink.
