It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team March 2026 Challenge whose theme is For The Birds.I’ve chosen to make a Circle Tag Book Pop-Up card using rose patterned paper with bird embellishments from the Outdoor Scene die set and long stem roses from the Love Is In The Air Charms. There is also a tag bookmark feature to the card using the Topper Tags die set.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Circle Tag Book Pop-Up. Cut four of the tag die from patterned paper. Cut one hinge piece and two of the pop-up mechanism piece from the same patterned paper. Cut four of the circles from white cardstock. Also from white cardstock, cut two each of the medium and small birds in the Outdoor Scene set. Cut from red and pink cardstock four each of the circle and flower hole protectors from the Circle Tag Book Pop-Up set. Follow the video above for the assembly of card and placement of small birds.
Bookmark: The bookmark and lacy pocket were made by cutting the smallest tag die in the Topper Tags set from patterned paper. The white trim was cut from the backside of a scrap of the patterned paper with the decorative edge die in the same set and trimmed with the smallest tag die. The pocket was made in a similar way, but using the next largest tag die to cut to size. The flying bird was cut from white cardstock using the largest bird die in the Outdoor Scene set.
Sentiments: Using a stamping platform with the white circles cut using the Circle Tag Book Pop-Up circle dies, sentiments were picked from the following Karen Burniston stamp sets: Bouquet Sayings, Stage Scenes and Strut Your Stuff. “Big Hugs” on the bookmark comes from the Cat Sayings set. The long stem roses come from the Love Is In The Air Charms set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope.
