Click HERE for the link to the Craft Roulette episode #270 . I hope you will watch the show and cheer me on as I attempt to create an interactive card in 45 minutes or less.
Craft Roulette is the ultimate card making challenge show on YouTube where guest crafters join host Mary Gunn to spin the wheel and get four parameters of project, colors, element and random to make a card or project in about 45 minutes or less.
This card was made for Craft Roulette #268 whose parameters included a card for a student, modern colors, clothing element, and abstract blob(s). I made an A9 shaped-card of encouragement for a student of life.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Using a 5.5×8.5 sheet of paper fold in half- long ways and draw one side of a dress. Cut the dress out and use as a pattern to trace for two dresses on an 8.5×11 sheet of cardstock. Add tabs to shoulders of one dress as hinges to create the shaped card.
Sentiments: All the sentiments are stamped using rubber stamps from Riley & Company’s Funny Bones collection, except for the “Go Girl Go” which was die cut using Karen Burniston’s Mini Alphabet die set.
Envelope: The card fits into a catalog envelope (6×9-inches).

This thinking of you card was based off of Karen Burniston’s May 2025 Virtual class card #2 which uses her Coffee Cup Pop-Up as the base for the pop-up teacup with elements from her Tea and Coffee Pop-Up, Tea and Coffee Borders and Flowers and Bee die sets.
Watch the assembly video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: The cardbase is a 5×12-inch piece of double-sided Maja Designs cardstock folded in half to form a 5×6-inch top-fold card. Inside two decorative panels were added near the fold. Four pieces of blue ribbon were attached to the outside panels using double-sided tape. The teacup on the back panel is from the Tea and Coffee Borders die set.
Teacup Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Coffee Cup Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. Then watch the video above to see how I modified the construction of the teacup using elements from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up and Flowers and Bee die sets.
Sentiments: The card front sentiment was stamped in blue ink using a Scrapbook.com stamp. Inside are Karen Burniston die cuts of “Happy Spring” and a fancy label for a personal message. The tiny die-cut hearts throughout the card were made with a die from the Tea and Coffee Borders set that cuts three hearts at a time.
Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with a die-cut teapot from the Tea and Coffee Borders glued to the back flap.

Here is a quick way to get four pop-up birthday cards using just three sheets of double-sided patterned cardstock.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of double-sided patterned cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card.
Flip Frame Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Flip Frame Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. Cut out one of the mechanism from cardstock matching the inside of each cardbase. Use the journaling or tags in the paper collection for the piece that flips up on the mechanism. Decorate with cutout pieces and scraps from the paper collection.
Sentiments: All the sentiments were stamped in black ink using Karen Burniston’s Birthday Belated and Photo Memories stamp sets. The stitched white rectangles are cut from white cardstock using a die from the Flip Frame Pop-Up die set.
Envelope: The cards fit into A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelopes.

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for May 2025 using the theme of fluffy. I chose to make a card celebrating the three-headed dog, Fluffy, from the book and movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone using the Heart Collage Pop-Up, Cat and Dog as well as the Paper People die sets.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Cover the four panels with decorative papers. (I used Ciao Bella’s Wizard Academy paper pad.)
Fluffy Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Heart Collage Pop-Up. Cut out one of the collage mechanism from black cardstock as well as three dogs using the Cat and Dog die set. Assemble as instructed in the video above. Use a white gel pen to add eyes, nose and mouth to the dog’s heads before attaching.
Ron, Harry & Hermione: Watch the video above to see how I transformed the Paper People into these well-known characters. Harry’s glasses come from the Tiny Accessories 1 die set. (My academic robe pattern is pictured above.)
Sentiments: All the sentiments used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Crackerbox Stamps.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a Crackerbox Stamps castle and an owl post stamp on the back in brown ink.

This card was made for Craft Roulette #265 whose parameters included gift card, train colors, science element, and add a flower. I used a Craft Roulette stamp set and three Karen Burniston dies die sets.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Using Karen Burniston’s Tag Book Pop-Up die set, I cut two of the large tag frames from oxidized blue mirror cardstock and two more from oxidized copper-colored mirror cardstock. The rectangular hinge die I cut once from white cardstock.
Pop-Up Panels: I glued my thin decorated paper to a piece of thin white cardstock and let dry before cutting out the Flower Pivot Panels piece. (Follow the assembly instructions in her video on the die set’s linked page.) The six small flowers are cut from solid colored cardstock scraps using the dies from the same die set as the panels.
Sentiments: The framed “Happy Birthday” on the tag front is from the Happy Birthday Lorna Add-Ons die set. The stamped “itty bitty gift” on the back tag pocket is in brown ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.
Envelope: The card fits into a purchased A6 (4.5x 6-inches) size envelope or larger.
