Watching Fireworks Pop-Up Card

| ullycatdesigns

Using Karen Burniston‘s new July 2026 release Paper People Summer Styles, Little Bench Pop-Up, Gazebo Stage Add-Ons as well as previously released Grass Stage Add-Ons, Stage Pop-Up, Display Helpers, Fireworks, and Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch, I made a 5×7-inch card that celebrates watching fireworks from the back deck with your family. It uses alternative methods for using the dies.It also uses two new stamp sets – Beer and Soda Sayings and Garden Greetings.

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

Cardbase: Cut a 5×7-inch rectangle and a 5×7.25-inch rectangle scored at .25-inches. Fold and glue tab to back of smaller rectangle to form a top-fold A7 size cardbase. Cut four of the largest crosshatch rectangle die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch from patterned paper and glue to the four panels of the cardbase.

Paper People: Cut three figures using the body die in the Paper People Summer Styles set. Stamp faces on them using the Fun Faces1 stamp set. Watch the video above to learn more about how I styles this family of three using just the dies in this die set. (I accidentally mixed up my body dies between the original Paper People set and the new one and so the original body shape with the very thin waist was used for the little girl. The feet are a bit different so the flip flops look big on her.)

Deck: (My original idea was to have a half gazebo on this card, but the roof and side panels only work for a free-standing gazebo, hence the deck.) Cut one base piece, one side piece and one polygon decorative piece from the Stage Pop-Up die set. Cut one grassy side piece from the Grass Stage Add-Ons set. Cut one railing from the Gazebo Stage Add-Ons. (In hindsight, I would recommend gluing the grass strip whole to the brown side strip, but not to train any of the folds. Add railing as shown in the video. Also cut a rectangle the size of the deck instead of the polygon decorative piece. Trim the siding piece to the size of the rectangle.) Add two Display Helpers to either side of the deck to keep the card open.

Bench Pop-Up: This is an alternative way to use the Little Bench Pop-Up. Cut one bench and trim off the table strip as shown in the video above. Assemble as shown in video. Add glue to bottom of legs and to the back of bench to attach bench to deck and blue background. (Suggest bending Paper People bodies to fit bench, before styling them with clothes. This will allow you to avoid bending through three layers of clothing having to do “knee surgery” to get them to fit and bend up when card is closed.)

Sentiments: The front sentiment “Hope your day pops” comes from the Beer and Soda Sayings stamp set. Using the fancy label die from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch for the inside sentiment of “Sitting here thinking of you” which comes from the Garden Greetings stamp set. The fireworks on the card front and inside are cut from glitter cardstock using the Fireworks die set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) envelope.

Italian Restaurant Card Sneak Peek

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston‘s July 2026 release of ten new die sets and five new stamp sets. This card features the new Cascade Pop-Up, Mealtime Elements and Dessert Elements die sets as well as the new Mealtime Phrases stamp set. New dies and stamps will be available on July 23, 2026 on Karen Burniston’s website.

Cardbase: I used a purchased (4×5.5-inch) cardbase and covered the four panels, inside and out, with rectangles of patterned paper.

Food: The two plates of food come from the Mealtime Elements die set. Cut two of the large plates from white cardstock and use the embossing feature of the die to get the ridged rim of the plate. Cut one of the large slotted circle from the Cascade Pop-Up die set and then cut and emboss the large plate from the slotted circle making sure to leave enough space around the slot. Use a blue fine-tipped marker to mark the inner circles of the plates. (I cut all the food from white cardstock and then colored them with alcohol markers. The parmesan chicken uses the die stencil feature for the grill marks and some Nuvo Drops for the cheese slice. The trick to coloring broccoli is to color the top florets a yellow green and then add dots of the darker green so some of the yellow green shows.) Glue food to plates. Stamp sentiments before gluing in place.

Cascading Circles Pop-Up: From gray cardstock, cut one of the large mechanism piece, and one of the small strip using the Cascade Pop-Up die set. (I cut these pieces from white and colored them with a gray marker.) Following the directions on the packaging, install the mechanism and the three plate circles with the slotted circle on the middle platform with the strip going through the slot.

Card Front: I cut six of the smaller square plates from the Dessert Elements die set using thin, white paper and then cut on the diagonal to make triangles. These triangles cover the edge of the plate that over-hangs my cardbase because the cardbase is .25-inches less than a traditional A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) cardbase. The two wine glasses and wine bottle are cut from clear vellum using the Wine Charms die set. Alcohol markers were used to color the bottle and glasses.

Sentiments: The “Ristorante Italiana” menus were computer generated using a script font. “You are pasta-tively amazing” and “You have great taste” are from the Mealtime Phrases stamp set. All the circles were cut using the plate dies in the Mealtime Elements die set.

Envelope: This card fits into an A2 size envelope.

A Burst of Color Fun Fold Card

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a 4-inch square card using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called Overthinking in Colour by Karolina Osuchowska.

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

Cardbase: I printed on both sides of an 8.5×11-inch of lightweight cardstock using one graffiti wall design and one colorful design. Next I cut it into an 8.25×8.25-inch square and scored and folded at 4-inches on each side and along one of the diagonal corner to corner. (See the video above for basic directions.)

Card: Once the card was folded, I added hearts and sentiments cut from the paper collection. Next I colored some of the hearts in with a pink marker and added white lines around the outside edge of the paper.

Sentiments: All the sentiment strips I added talk about art, inspiration, love, peace, happiness and encouragement. The outside sentiments are part of the printed paper design.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) envelope with its back flap decorated with hand-drawn hearts and a sentiment strip.

Hello, I’m Thinking Of You

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #319 whose parameters were: 4 Bar (3 5/8×4 7/8-inch) card, wedding colors, sweet(s) element and a touch of gray random. I used a Spellbinder’s 3D embossing folder and stamp sets by Karen Burniston and Scrapbook.com.

Cardbase: I took a 7×5-inch rectangle of lightweight cardstock and scored and folded in half to form a side-fold 3.5×5-inch card.

HELLO: The front panel of the card was embossed with the Spellbinder’s Beveled Hello A2 Cardfront 3D embossing folder. (I spritzed the lightweight white cardstock with water before I ran it through in the embossing folder.) NNext I trimmed it down to fit the cardbase and added a touch of gray by using a glitter gloss marker on the bottom bevel sides of the letters. Tiny polymer clay peppermint and swirled sweets were glued on for accents.

Sentiments: The inside sentiment and hearts come from Scrapbook.com’s A Little Reminder stamp set and were stamped in pink and gray inks.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with “Life is Sweet” stamped on the back flap in pink. Stamp is from Karen Burniston’s Sweet Treats set.

Pop-Up Mug of Coffee

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team May 2026 Challenge whose theme is CAFFEINATE! – using a coffee, tea, soda or chocolate theme. I used the Stage Pop-Up, Tea and Coffee Pop-Up, Cake Pop-Up, Leaping Animals and Tea and Coffee Borders die sets and Fun Faces 1 , Stage Scenes and Coffee Chat stamp sets to make this energized morning mug of coffee – a perfect gift for a co-worker.

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

Pop-Up Stage Base: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for Stage Pop-Up.) Cut two base pieces and two side pieces from the Stage Pop-Up die set. (I cut my stage base pieces from heavy green cardstock and the sides from thin decorative cardstock. I found that the heavier cardstock works best for this card and its pop-up mechanism.) Cut three decorative rectangles from the Stage Pop-Up set. (It may be easier to stamp these small rectangles and then die-cut them.) Cut two of the base polygon decorative pieces from white cardstock and another two from decorative paper. Save the white pieces to be stamped with a sentiments before gluing to the bottom and side of the stage base. Cut three border mugs and hearts from the Tea and Coffee Borders die set. Glue one side piece tab to the straight edge side of the other side piece and then decorate with the sentiment rectangles and heart mugs.

Frog Mug Pop-Up: Using the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up die set, cut two mugs from mid to light-weight white cardstock. Cut a 2×6-inch piece of copier paper and color coffee brown with a marker. Cut two frogs from green using the Leaping Animals die set. Add white gel pen dots to all the tips of the frogs’ hands and feet as well as the raised dots and mouths. Decide which piece will be decorated on its back side. Following the instructions in the video above on how to stamp the eyes onto mug using the Fun Faces 1 stamps before gluing the frogs onto the mugs. Add clear packing tape over the mug fronts as shown in the video. Connect the two mug shapes together using the brown copier paper as shown above in the video.

Steam Pop-Up: (Watch the assembly videos at the bottom of the linked pages for Tea and Coffee Pop-Up and Cake Pop-Up.) From heavy weight white cardstock cut one curling steam and 2-inch support strip from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up set and two of the top tiny cake tier pieces from the Cake Pop-Up set. Color the cake top and support strip pieces on both sides, coffee brown. Trim the base of the steam into a point as shown in the video above. Assemble into the mug and onto the stage pop-up as shown in the video above.

Sentiments: On the bottom side of the Stage Pop-Up, I stamped on the top white decorator panel with “Drink coffee and conquer the day” from the the Coffee Chat stamp set. The “Push” with arrows comes from the Stage Scenes set. Three small stamps from Coffee Chat were used on the side decorator panels – “Brewed with love,” “Love at first sip” and “Coffee fuels my happy.”

Envelope: The card fits into 5×7-inches A7 size envelope decorated with “Hot coffee, warm heart” stamped in dark brown from the Coffee Chat stamp set.

Three Fruity Cards

| ullycatdesigns

Having received the Spellbinders’ All-Clubs Crate for April 2026, I decided to play with the Fresh Packed Clear Stamp + Die of the Month, the Market Berries Stencil of the Month and Seed Co. Border Press + Foil of the Month sets.

Market Tote: This is an A2 (4.24×5.5-inch) card with a yellow gingham paper mat. The die-cut brown bag is one of the dies in the Fresh Packed stamp & die set. The lemons, tomato, berries and flowers were stamped first using Chiffon, Grass Skirt, Mandarin Spice, Rockin’ Red, Samba inks. The tiny black seeds and texture were added with an ultra fine tipped pen. Next the bag was glued in place and then the sentiments which came from the same set and die-cut. The flowers were fussy cut out and popped-up with foam dots.

Stamped Lemons and Strawberries: This is an A2 (4.24×5.5-inch) card with a green pattern paper mat. The lemon and strawberries stamps from the Fresh Packed set were used with Chiffon, Grass Skirt and Samba inks. tiny black seeds and texture were added with an ultra fine tipped pen. The sentiment from the same stamp set is stamped in green, die-cut three times and glued together to add dimension.

Stenciled Berry Plants:  This is an A6 (4.75×6.25-inches) card which uses Market Berries Stencil of the Month with the ink colors of Gray Flannel, Grass Skirt, Samba & Sea Glass and Tuxedo Black. Yellow Pops of Color form the flower centers and an accent of yellow satin ribbon was added before the stenciled panel was glued on the cardbase. Sentiment is from the Seed Co. Border press plates on a bisque colored heavy weight cotton cardstock.

Zoyfold Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #314 whose parameters were: a zoyfold (z-fold with joyfold) card, Easter egg colors, seal(s)(ing) element and 4-square. I created this 5-inch square card using Emily Moore Designs dies.

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

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the zoyfold card base. The z-fold is made from an 111×5-inch sheet of white cardstock, scored and folded at 3-inches and 6-inches. The triangular joyfold card is a square cut using the largest scalloped rectangle die in the Emily Moore Designs’ Decorative Sentiments Dies set.

Decorations: I used scraps of Anna Griffin Paisley paper to cover the card. The wax seal & ribbon uses Spellbinder’s Autumn wax bead mix, Sam Calcott’s Made to Surprise Christmas wax seal stamps, and the large fishtail banner from Emily Moore Designs’ Decorative Sentiments Dies. two small magnets from Scrappy Tails were glued and taped on to the underside of the seal to hold the card shut.

Sentiments: While the wax seal has “Merry Christmas” on it, the inside banner has “Peace & Joy.” The seal stamper and my wax seal stamp kit are by Sam Calcott’s Made to Surprise, while the banner sentiment comes from the Spellbinder’s Design A Plaid BetterPress set. The banner base is a die in the Emily Moore Designs’ Decorative Sentiments Dies.

Card Back

Envelope:  The card is thick because of the wax seal and would be hand delivered.
