Birthday

World Card Making Day Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made to celebrate World Card Making Day and Craft Roulette episode #235 whose parameters were: not a single-fold A2 size card, mood board colors, world element and star.

I cased a card I had previously made and posted back on September 30, 2024 changing the patterned papers, scarf/steering wheel colors and adding a star to the plane’s tail. This card uses Simon Says Stamp! Stamptember with Riley & Company’s Fly By stamp set. (The Simon Says Stamp! Fly BY is sold out, but you can use this Riley & Co. Airplane Riley stamp set instead.) It also uses pop-up dies by Karen Burniston.

Watch the video to see how this card was made.

INSIDE: Plane and banner are interactive because they are on Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Ups. The plane moves left and the banner moves right as the card is opened. The window frames on the card front panel were created from dies in Karen Burniston’s Twist Panel Pop-Up.

SENTIMENTS are all from the Riley & Company’s Fly By stamp set. “Flying by to say…Happy Birthday” and “Life is a journey. Enjoy the flight.”

CARD BACK: Signature and Craft Roulette inspired for World Card Making Day stamp with aviator’s cap.

ENVELOPE: Card fits into an A7 5×7-inch envelope stamped with “Your plane awesome: and some clouds.

An Art Deco Birthday card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #230 whose parameters included shaped card, peacock colors, tall element and XOXO.

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

Cardbase: I made a side-fold A2 cardbase by folding a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2-inch rectangle in half and stenciled the front on a separate panel. The tiny gold gems where glued on as the last decoration.

Sentiments: The banner sentiments were made using the Spellbinders BetterPress letterpress system and Cheers to You press plates and dies. The inside of the card is blank for a personal message.

Envelope: Envelope flap was stenciled with the same stencil and inks.

Here are two more cards I made at the same time using the same inks and stencil sets, but different BetterPress press plate – Mistletoe Greetings. (“Merry everything” sentiment inside is from Scrapbook and Cards Today’s Jolly Holiday workshop kit.)

Accordion Cards – Combining Old and New

| ullycatdesigns

This past few weeks I’ve been playing with some of Karen Burniston’s accordion dies released under the Elizabeth Craft Designs (ECD) and combining them with her more recent dies branded under the KB Riley LLC label.

This July 4th accordion decoration features the Accordion Star and Star Fancy Frame Edges from ECD and the Fancy Label Accordion and Fancy Solid Frame sets which are currently available on Karen Burniston’s website. The patriotic stamped images and stamped border paper are from Honey Bee Stamps.

For this pirate birthday card, I used the Ring Accordion and Ring Frame Edges 1 from ECD. The pirates are made from Set Sail Borders, Pirate Borders, Monkey and Lion, Gnome and Santa, Cruise Charms and Tiny Accessories 1. The stamped sentiments are from Karen Burniston’s June 2024 release – Pirate Sentiments and Birthday Belated.
