Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for May 2025 using the theme of fluffy. I chose to make a card celebrating the three-headed dog, Fluffy, from the book and movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone using the Heart Collage Pop-Up, Cat and Dog as well as the Paper People die sets.


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

Cardbase: Start with a 8.5×5.5-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. (I used Ciao Bella’s Wizard Academy paper pad.)


Fluffy Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Heart Collage Pop-Up. Cut out one of the collage mechanism from black cardstock as well as three dogs using the Cat and Dog die set. Assemble as instructed in the video above. Use a white gel pen to add eyes, nose and mouth to the dog’s heads before attaching.

Ron, Harry & Hermione: Watch the video above to see how I transformed the Paper People into these well-known characters. Harry’s glasses come from the Tiny Accessories 1 die set. (My academic robe pattern is pictured above.)


Sentiments: All the sentiments used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Crackerbox Stamps.


Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a Crackerbox Stamps castle and an owl post stamp on the back in brown ink.
