Birthday

Bob’s Tackle Box Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team July 2026 Challenge whose theme is BOX or BLOCKS. I chose to make a pop-up card in the form of a tackle box using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up mechanism.

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

Cardbase: I folded a 10×7-inch piece of cardstock in half to make a 5×7-inch top fold cardbase. Next, I rounded the corners with a large corner rounder punch. (You could also use scissors to round the corners.) I ended up using splatters of white, bronze and black paint to decorate the card front and back beside using brown ink to blend the card edges.

Handle: Using the rounded corner panel dies in the Twist Panel Pop-Up, cut a handle as shown in the video above and glue onto the front of the card.

Latch Mechanism: The latch is cut from the set using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up long strip die and trimming off the end with the slots. (Follow the instructions in the video above.) The lock comes from the Treasure Chest set. The “PULL” label was cut from silver using a die from the Waterfall Card die set. I used two thin magnets to close the latch.

Trays Pop-Up: (View die set’s assembly video by clicking on the die set and scrolling to the bottom of the linked page.) Inside the card two trays pop-up using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up. See the video above for how I installed it inside the the card using the latch strip. The top tray is made of two strips 2×6.625-inches of heavy cardstock covered with decorative paper. One piece has had four squares cut into it using a 1.4-inch square die from the Squares – Crosshatch set. The bottom tray is made from two strips 2.375×6.625-inches of heavy cardstock covered with decorative paper. One of the bottom tray pieces was cut with three rectangles using the pieces rectangle from the Waterfall Card set. Watch the video above for the assembly.

Fishing Lures: The Fishing Lure Charms were used for the lures. I followed the packaging pictures for how I made them. (If you want an explanation and tips for how to assemble the lures, view my video for Here Fishy, Fishy…A Father’s Day Card and watch the video above.)

Sentiments: The front sticker of “Gone Fishing” and the inside “Here Fishy, Fishy” are from the Fishing stamp set with the oval cut using the small oval in the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up. “Happy Birthday” inside the card uses Happy Birthday word die and its shadow die. “Bob’s Tackle Box” was written with a black marker as it might be written on a real box.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with “Every day is a good day when you’re fishing” stamped on the back flap from the Fishing stamp set.

Gift Card Holder Wallet

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #326 whose parameters were: a dude’s card, sleigh ride colors, farm critter(s) element and pen random. I used Honey Bee Stamps Gallery Wall Gentlemen Add-On and Lovely Layers Wallet.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Wallet: I used brown, faux-leather, textured cardstock to create this wallet swiped with black ink to bring out the texture.The Wallet die set is used for all the pieces. From the faux leather cardstock, cut one of the long base piece, one of the frame pocket, one of the short strip and two of the plain pocket (trim one pocket 1″ shorter than the other.) Assemble as shown in the video above. Attach closure strip with adhesive only on the end ends of the strip and add as shown in video. Glue on brass brads/buttons to strip and tab.

Gift Card Holder: From the Wallet die set, cut the rectangular gift card holder which has four slots from some kraft cardstock. (I added the gentleman fox image as a placeholder for a gift card.)

Sentiments: I left off any sentiments on this card to personalize it for a special occasion. The two inside cards are cut with the frame pocket die in the Wallet die set and could have sentiments stamped on them. The card recipient’s initials were added to the wallet from using Karen Burniston’s Mini Alphabet and Numbers.

Gentleman Fox: Using Honey Bee Stamps Gallery Wall Gentlemen Add-On, cut one orange base silhouette, one black jacket and lapels, one set of creamy white neck and ears, one set of black nose and eyes. Assemble as shown on layering guide. Use a fine-tipped black pen to highlight the embossed details.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope.

Flowered Quilt Square Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a 4.25×6-inch quilt square birthday card using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called Walter Crane In The Garden.

I printed three pages of 8.5×11-inch prints from the Walter Crane In The Garden collection (pages 3,7,18.) Next, I die cut one quilt square from each of the papers. I used the outline of the quilt square from one of the die-cuts to act as a template of where to place the various pieces, taping it down to the card front. Glued the pieces in and then removed the template. The top swag of daisies and the center daffodil were cut from other pages of elements in the collection.

Don’t Be Alarmed Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #325 whose parameters were: flip fold card, tartan colors, time or clock element and add a bow random. I used This Calls for Confetti and Simon Says Stamp! dies & stamps and digital papers from Relatively Thoughtful for this A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card and envelope.

Cardbase: Printed out three 8.5×11-inch sheets of digital papers from the Independent Women Authors collection by Relatively Thoughtful (two solid colors and one patterned paper.) From purple, I cut a 4.25×9.8125-inch an scored and folded at 5.5-inches. From green, I cut a 3.9375×5-inch rectangle. From the patterned paper I cut a 3.625×4.75-inch rectangle. I also cut a 1.5×4.25-inch purple rectangle.

To assemble, I centered and glued the patterned paper onto the green piece. Next, the small purple piece was glued at the bottom of the long side of the long purple cardbase over the white inside so that when the card is closed it looks like solid purple base. Center the green/pattern paper rectangle onto the short flap of the purple cardbase and glue. (Stamp the sentiments before adding the dimensional clock and bow to card back.)

Sentiments: The inside sentiments of “Don’t be alarmed” and “The hour is drawing near,” come from This Calls For Confetti’s Don’t Be Alarmed stamp set. “Happy Birthday” and “Put a bow on it!” are in the Simon Says Stamp! Put A Bow On It stamp set.

Clock: Using the This Calls For Confetti Moments in Time dies, cut from silver all the clock pieces with the exception of the circle frame and clock face. Using both the circle frame and clock face dies together to cute the clock frame from silver holographic cardstock. Turn the holographic clock face over to the white back side and glue onto the clock back piece. Adhere the bells and decorative pieces to clock back piece. (I wish I had popped-up the bells with foam tape.) Using double-side tape adhere a piece of clear plastic acetate to the circle frame back and trim away the excess plastic. Double-up the foam tape to make it 2mm thick and place the tape onto the acetate so that it is hidden behind the circle frame. (I originally was going to make this a shaker card, but I decided to glue the Trinity Stamps – Sparkle Spots onto the clock face because it looked better.) Glue the completed clock onto the card front.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with a bow and “Put a bow on it” stamped on the back flap in black ink. Stamps are from Simon Says Stamp!.

Jungle Waterfall Easel Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #323 whose parameters were: A7 card, pretty colors, photo booth element and geometric shapes for random. I used Spellbinders Weekender 2026 dies and stamps for an A7 easel (5×7-inch) card with a photo strip bookmark with photos of how to open and display the card.

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

Cardbase: I cut three rectangles to make the cardbase: Dark Blue – 5×7-inches, Light Blue – 4.25×5.5-inches and 4×6-inches. Score and fold the 4×6 rectangle at .5-inches and 3-inches as shown in the video above.

Waterfall: Using the Rainforest Falls die set and instruction PDF, cut two sets of all the rock pieces using four to five shades of gray cardstock. Make a total of three of each of the two smallest rocks. (I used gray markers to get my extra shades of gray to make the rocks look different from each other.) Make two sets of the water splashes and pooling water using several shades of blue cardstock. Make one of the waterfall. (I added more contrast to my water features with a blue marker. I also brushed on Nuvo Glitter Gloss shimmer over all the water and areas on the rocks that might be splashed.)

Sky: Using the cloud edging dies in the Rainforest Falls die set, tape together the two dies to make a continuous cut on 5×1.5-inch strips of red, orange and yellow cardstock. Cut one semi-circle from the brightest yellow. Assemble card as shown in the video above. (I inked the top edge of my 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle panel to have a purplish hue to peak though behind the clouds.)

Decorations: Decorate the rocks with vines, foliage and flowers cut from the Jungle Blooms and Tiki Toucan die sets.I cut one of each foliage and vine dies in each set – once from light green and once from dark green. (I cut four each of the pink flowers with their yellow centers from the Jungle Blooms set.) In addition, I used Memory Box’s Tiny Frogs and Tonic Studio’s Tropical Rain Forest Silhouette‘s tiny butterfly die as embellishments. (There are three tiny frogs on the card and four tiny butterflies. Can you find them all?) Cut one brown branch from the Tiki Toucan die set to go across the stream.

Sentiments: The stamped sentiments come from the Go Wild stamp & die set and were stamped in a teal blue ink.

Photo Strip Bookmark: Once the card was finished I photographed it in the closed and open positions with a side view to demonstrate the easel. Next, I printed the photos as 1-inch wide and generated the title “How to open card for display.” Using Karen Burniston’s Movie Night Charms, I cut from black shimmer cardstock, the filmstrip. Next, I trimmed the photos and title to fit the film strip and glued them into the frames. I backed the entire strip with thin white computer paper. (For more Card Recipient eXperience slips (CRX) check out these posts on my blog.)

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) envelope with the sentiment from the Go Wild stamp set that says “Life’s a jungle.”

Cardbase: Cut a 12×8 5/8-inch rectangle of green cardstock. Score at 2-inches, 4-inches, 8-inches and 10-inches. Fold as shown in the video above. Using the fourth smallest die from the Circles – Crosshatch set, cut four circles into the double gate fold sides as shown in the video.

Crinkle Inkle: Using bubble wrap as an inking tool, add blue ink texture to the closed front of the card. (Make sure to put scrap paper inside the card to mask the back panel from ink.)

Sentiments: The front, belly band sentiment “Wishing You Sunshine and Rainbows” and the inside “Happy Birthday” were stamped in black ink using the Rainbow Greetings stamp set. The Circles – Crosshatch dies were used to cut the labels for the sentiments.

Groovy Vibes Tri-fold Junk Journal Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a pop-up junk journal birthday card full of the FAB FOUR using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called Groovy Vibes.

Watch the process video to see how I use the paper collection.

Cardbase: I printed double-sided papers of the blue daisies with solid blue on the back and the crocheted granny squares with the pink sunburst on the back. from the blue daisies I cut a 6-inch square and a 6.5×6-inch rectangle. From the granny squares paper I cut a 6.5×6-inch rectangle. The two rectangles were scored and folded at a half-inch to form 6-inch squares with a tab. Follow the video above on how to glue the two tabbed pieces to the 6-inch square.

Waterfall Card Front: I printed double-sided paper of the pink daisies with the pink sunburst on the back, before cutting out the waterfall pieces using the Karen Burniston’s 1161 – Waterfall Card dies. Follow the directions in the video above to assemble. The Fab Four images were from the smaller images page of musicians while the song lyrics were from the larger rainbow page and the smaller hearts page.The square images were cut out using dies in the set. The title piece and birthday sentiment were fussy cut from the digital paper collection.

Photo Gallery Pop-Up: I used the Karen Burniston’s 1331 – Photo Gallery Pop-Up dies to create the pop-up gallery of head shots of the FAB Four. Follow the directions in the video above to assemble. The names were written on the white cardstock frames with a black fine-tipped marker before the clear packing tape was applied.

Sentiments: All the inside sentiments and images were hand-cut including the two white tags for a personal message.

Envelope:  The card would need a custom envelope and because of its thickness, it would be best hand-delivered.

Quilted Square Interactive Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #318 whose parameters were: Ardyth’s Square (4.25-inch square) card, May garden colors, textile element and three layer random. I used Relatively Thoughtful digital papers as well as dies and stamps from Concord & 9th, Essentials by Ellen, Scrapbook.com, The Greetery & Waffle Flower.

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

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×8.5-inch square of lightweight cardstock and scored and folded at 4.25-inchs on each side and along one of the diagonal corner to corner. (See the video above for directions.) Decorate front and back with quilt blocks and the sides cover with 4.25-inch squares of colored paper cut in half diagonally.

Quilt Blocks: Using the Scrapbook.com Mini Quilt Block die set, cut six of all the die pieces from solid color decorative paper and another six sets from patterned paper. (I printed all my digital papers on thin computer paper.) Use a fine-tipped black marker to add stitching lines.

Sewing Notions: Using The Greetery’s Notionable die set, cut one pair scissors from silver foil cardstock. (I cut a second set from white as my silver cardstock was thin and tended to curl.) Cut the thimble, needle and seven pins also from silver cardstock. From white cut the three pieces for the spool of thread and color using a light brown for the spool and light gray for the thread. Leave the thread label white, but highlight the writing with a fine-tipped black marker. Cut the curling piece of thread from white and color light gray. (I used scraps of solid colored cardstock for the pincushion and pin heads.) The card of pins uses an image printed on cardstock from the Relatively Thoughtful Walter Crane In The Garden A4 digital paper collection.

Sentiments: The outside stamped sentiments of “You’re sew sweet” and “Made with love” are from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool. The inside sentiments come from Concord & 9th’s Sew Lovely stamp and die sets as well as Waffle Flower’s Quilted Hug stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with “What’s sewing on?” stamped on the back flap. Stamp is from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool.
