Groovy Vibes Tri-fold Junk Journal Birthday Card

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

Junk Journal Folio Pop-Up Card

Wanting to make a project with the Graphic 45 Curiouser & Curiouser paper collection, I used the new Karen Burniston Photo Gallery Pop-Up die set along with her previously released Waterfall Card dies to make this Alice in Wonderland themed junk journal folio card.

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

Cardbase: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Cut a 5×12-inch rectangle from double-sided cardstock. Cut another rectangle at 5×7 1/4-inches from the same cardstock. Score both pieces at 6 7/8-inches. Glue tab of short piece to long piece on the 7-inch side to form a 19-inches long trifold cardbase.

Waterfall Card Front: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) on the 5×12-inches cardbase piece, using the half-circle die in the Waterfall Card set, cut the thumb hole in the center of the fold. Cut the waterfall pull strip and base piece from the same patterned cardstock, train the folds and glue the smiley face tabs together. Centering the pull strip over the thumb hole, staple the base piece in place at the bottom corners.Cut four images from the double-sided papers so that they are 2 3/4-inches tall and less than 4-inches wide. Glue images to waterfall base as shown in the video. Attach the “pull” arrow rectangle die cut from the Waterfall Card set to the end of the pull strip.

Pocket Tags: Cut one or two images to be tags for the second cardbase panel (My images are 3 3/4×5-inches and 3 3/4×5 1/2-inches.) Punch holes and thread through ribbon as pull strings. Cut and decorate a 2 1/5×4 3/4-inch piece of the same cardstock as the cardbase and glue on three sides to make the tags’ pocket.

Photo Gallery Pop-Up: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Using the Photo Gallery Pop-Up die set, cut two of the large gallery pieces matching the direction of the pattern paper so that when glued together the pattern is all going the same way. Cut the two triangle tabs from the same paper as the cardbase. Cut one of the smaller galley piece. From the patterned paper cut enough images to fit the two gallery pieces. (Note that many of my images stick up over the top edge of the gallery pieces.) Attach the gallery pieces as shown in the video above. Decorate the cardbase with extra images taking care to not cover folds or create catchpoints.

Envelope: This junk journal folio card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) envelope.
