circus themed pop-up birthday card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #308 whose parameters were: a card with a bookmark, circus colors, hug(s) element and feather(s)/(ing). I used dies from Karen Burniston and My Favorite Things to make this tri-fold, 5×7-inch pop-up birthday card.

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

Cardbase: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Using two purchase 5×7-inch cardbases, glue them together to form a tri-fold card.

Hugging Arms: Follow the video above to see how 14 of the feathers cut using Karen Burniston’s Peacock Add-Ons die set were used with the two pink hands cut using My Favorite Thing’s Crafty Hands die set.

Photo Gallery Pop-Up: Cut two of the large pop-up gallery strips and their attachment triangle tabs from white cardstock using Karen Burniston’s Photo Gallery Pop-Up dies. Cover the strips with glitter paste as described in the video above and spray the tabs with mica sprays. Allow to dry before assembling. Cut the images to glued to the photo gallery using the largest rectangle die in Karen Burniston’s Greeting Labels die set.

Sentiments: On the card front is “Hugs” which is die cut twice from pink using Karen Burniston’s Word Set 9 – Love, glued together and the edges inked in brown to match the other signs cut from the Stamperia paper collection – Master of Magic. The “Happy Birthday Wishes” on the two train tickets were stamped using Honey Bee Stamps Ticket To Ride set.(See more about the making of these bookmarks by clicking here.)
