Thank You Pop-Up

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s February 2026 Release of new dies and stamps.

Today’s card uses the new die sets of Thank You Lorna Add-Ons and the Stage Pop-Up as well as the previously released Lorna Label Pop-Up. Sentiments come from the new clear stamp sets called Thank You Phrases and Love You Phrases. The new dies and stamps will be available for order starting February 2, 2026.

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

Stage Pop-Up Base: Using the Stage Pop-Up die set, cut two of the largest die from patterned cardstock. From the same patterned cardstock, cut two of the stage-side strips.  After stamping and cutting the 6 decorator rectangles, glue them onto the front panels of the stage-side strips.  Assemble the stage platform as shown above in the video. (Below is what the completed card looks like when folded flat.)

Sentiments: The five sentiments were stamped in black ink on white cardstock and cut-out using the rectangle decorator dies from the Stage Pop-Up die set. Cut a sixth rectangle, but leave it blank to write a personal message. Use the short sentiments “For Being You,” “You’re The Best,” “For Everything” and “So Very Much” from the Thank You Phrases stamp set, and “Big Time” from Love You Phrases.

Lorna Label Thank You: Using the Thank You Lorna Add-Ons set, cut two of the large frame die from patterned paper and two sets of the words from red cardstock. From the Lorna Label Pop-Up die set, cut two of the large die from green. Glue the Thank You frames on to the green Lorna labels and adhere the letters. Add tape the the back of the Lorna Labels at the narrow bottom tip as shown in the video. Glue the green pieces back-to-back and trim off the excess flaps at the top and cut down the bottom base to fit in between the two stage halves as shown in the video.

To decorate, cut six of the leafy stems in the Thank You Lorna Add-Ons from green and glue onto the top of each of the stage sides. Cut two of the flowers in the set to add to the stage floor in front of the “Thank You.” (I used patterned paper that had daisies printed on it, so I did not use the flower center die from the set.)

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) size envelope with “Thank You” from Thank You Phrases stamped on the back flap.

Toaster of Thanks

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #262 whose parameters included a thank you card, 1950s colors, toast(s)/bread(s), and brown paper.

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


Cardbase: Score and fold in half a8.5x 5.5 rectangle of silver mirror cardstock. From the Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set, cut the toaster shaped die with its feet just slightly over the fold of the silver folded cardstock to form a toaster shaped card hinged at its feet.


Toaster: Cut one whole toaster from silver and another from gray cardstock. Cut enough of the toaster lever knob to have two knobs that are black on both sides. Glue the knobs to the inside of the toaster card’s left side near the feet. Using 1mm thick foam tape, place tape around the inside of the folded shaped toaster card to form a U shape with the opening is where the slot is. Attach the silver toaster over the foam tape to form a pocket with the slot as its opening. Repeat gluing in knob, adding foam tape and attaching the gray cardstock toaster to the other inside side of the card. Add double-sided tape to the back of some shiny black cardstock or junk mail before cutting out two of the spiraling squiggle from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Karen Burniston Merry Christmas Pop-Up and three of the toaster feet bar from Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set. Adhere the squiggle stickers to the inside center of the silver toaster and to the back of the card’s toaster. Adhere the feet bar to the silver toasters. The gray cardstock should be without decorations.


Toast Cards: From brown kraft paper, cut two bread shaped cards using the die from the Trinity Stamps Toaster Card die set. Cut two small bread shapes using the smaller die in the set from white. Ink the inside edges and the whole outside of the brown cards with a dark brown ink. Lightly ink the edges of the white pieces. Stamp sentiments onto the front outside of cards and tops of white pieces before gluing the white to the inside of cards.


Sentiments: The toast cards’ sentiments were all stamped in brown ink using the Rubbernecker Thanks Set and Lawn Fawn’s Push Here stamps. The toaster card front has die cut letters cut from black cardstock/shiny junk mail backed with double-sided tape to form stickers. The “TOAST” word shadow was cut from white and adhered to silver mirror card with double-sided tape. All the die-cut sentiment is cut using the Trinity Toaster Card set.


Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope stamped on its flap a piece of bread with a heart using the Lawn Fawn Let’s Toast stamp set.

I always need Thank You cards and coffee, so what better way than to combining the two into some cute cards.

I used the Concord & 9th Coffee Blend Turnabout stamp set and coordinating dies for these two Thank You cards.

The inks that I used were from Stampin’ Up – Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider and Real Red.

Kindness Personified – A Thank You Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made using stamps and dies from the February 2025 Scrapbook and Cards With Love event. I designed this card before the event as a thank you card.

Cardbase:  Cut a 8.5×5.5-inch rectangle from white cardstock. fold to make a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card base. Cut a 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle of white cardstock and emboss it using the brick stencil.

(Use the embossing sandwich for a die as recommended for your die cutting machine.) Then glue the brick panel to the front of card.

Coffee Cup:  Stamping the coffee cup on a lightweight white cardstock in red ink. Stamp the dots on the lower half of the cup also in red. Using a blending brush and stencils, color in the handle and shade the top, sides and bottom of the cup leaving most of the center white. Die cut out the cup. Adhere to card front using thin foam squares (or one layer of foam tape.)

Flowers:  Stamp the floral bouquet onto lightweight white cardstock and color using the stencil set and sponge daubers to color with Distress Inks. Die cut out the bouquet. Adhere to card front using thick foam dots (or two layers of foam tape.) Add highlights to the bouquet with a glitter gloss pen.

Sentiments:  Die cut the “You are” from dark purple and its shadow from white. Glue together.  Stamp on the inside “kindness” in black and “made with love” on the card back in red.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.24×5.5-inch) envelope with flowers stamped on the back flap.
