Jungle Waterfall Easel Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #323 whose parameters were: A7 card, pretty colors, photo booth element and geometric shapes for random. I used Spellbinders Weekender 2026 dies and stamps for an A7 easel (5×7-inch) card with a photo strip bookmark with photos of how to open and display the card.

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

Cardbase: I cut three rectangles to make the cardbase: Dark Blue – 5×7-inches, Light Blue – 4.25×5.5-inches and 4×6-inches. Score and fold the 4×6 rectangle at .5-inches and 3-inches as shown in the video above.

Waterfall: Using the Rainforest Falls die set and instruction PDF, cut two sets of all the rock pieces using four to five shades of gray cardstock. Make a total of three of each of the two smallest rocks. (I used gray markers to get my extra shades of gray to make the rocks look different from each other.) Make two sets of the water splashes and pooling water using several shades of blue cardstock. Make one of the waterfall. (I added more contrast to my water features with a blue marker. I also brushed on Nuvo Glitter Gloss shimmer over all the water and areas on the rocks that might be splashed.)

Sky: Using the cloud edging dies in the Rainforest Falls die set, tape together the two dies to make a continuous cut on 5×1.5-inch strips of red, orange and yellow cardstock. Cut one semi-circle from the brightest yellow. Assemble card as shown in the video above. (I inked the top edge of my 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle panel to have a purplish hue to peak though behind the clouds.)

Decorations: Decorate the rocks with vines, foliage and flowers cut from the Jungle Blooms and Tiki Toucan die sets.I cut one of each foliage and vine dies in each set – once from light green and once from dark green. (I cut four each of the pink flowers with their yellow centers from the Jungle Blooms set.) In addition, I used Memory Box’s Tiny Frogs and Tonic Studio’s Tropical Rain Forest Silhouette‘s tiny butterfly die as embellishments. (There are three tiny frogs on the card and four tiny butterflies. Can you find them all?) Cut one brown branch from the Tiki Toucan die set to go across the stream.

Sentiments: The stamped sentiments come from the Go Wild stamp & die set and were stamped in a teal blue ink.

Photo Strip Bookmark: Once the card was finished I photographed it in the closed and open positions with a side view to demonstrate the easel. Next, I printed the photos as 1-inch wide and generated the title “How to open card for display.” Using Karen Burniston’s Movie Night Charms, I cut from black shimmer cardstock, the filmstrip. Next, I trimmed the photos and title to fit the film strip and glued them into the frames. I backed the entire strip with thin white computer paper. (For more Card Recipient eXperience slips (CRX) check out these posts on my blog.)

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) envelope with the sentiment from the Go Wild stamp set that says “Life’s a jungle.”

Just Popping Up To Say Happy Father’s Day

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team June 2026 Challenge whose theme is Flag Colors – using the colors of each designer’s national flag. For me it is red, white and blue. I choose to make a star themed Father’s Day card.

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

Cardbase: I folded a 6×9-inch piece of pattern cardstock in half to make a 4.5×6-inch side fold cardbase. Next, I added two 4.125 x 5.375- inch mats cut with the largest die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch set. I added a star from the Label Charm Pop-Up die set to the back of the card.

Flip Frame Pop-Up: Inside the card is a simple pop-up mechanism made using the Flip Frame Pop-Up die set. (View assembly video by clicking on the die set and scrolling to the bottom of the linked page.) See the video above for how I installed it.

Sentiments: The front sentiment of “Just Popping Up To Say” is cut from two die sets – Word Set 4 – Just a Note and Word Set 15 – Just Because. The inside sentiment uses both the shadow and words from the Happy Father’s Day set. The white personal message label is a stitch rectangle embossed with a scalloped die – both from the Flip Frame Pop-Up set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (4.75x 6.5-inches) size envelope with “Happy Father’s Day” stamped on the back flap from the Fishing stamp set.

Monet Waterlilies Inspired Birthday Pop-Up Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #321 whose parameters were: gatefold card, Monet colors, natural element and crinkle inkle (inking technique) random. I used Karen Burniston dies and stamps for this slimline (4×8 5/8-inch) card.

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

Cardbase: Cut a 12×8 5/8-inch rectangle of green cardstock. Score at 2-inches, 4-inches, 8-inches and 10-inches. Fold as shown in the video above. Using the fourth smallest die from the Circles – Crosshatch set, cut four circles into the double gate fold sides as shown in the video.

Crinkle Inkle: Using bubble wrap as an inking tool, add blue ink texture to the closed front of the card. (Make sure to put scrap paper inside the card to mask the back panel from ink.)

Window Frames: Cut four circular frames from blue cardstock using the fourth and fifth smallest dies from the Circles – Crosshatch set. Using double-sided tape, attach the frames to both sides of a piece of acetate and trim the plastic to fit frames. Glue frames onto card front as shown in video.

Flower Pop-Ups: (Watch the assembly video for the Twist Flower Pop-Up at the bottom of the linked page.) Cut two of the Twist Flower Pop-Up mechanism die from green cardstock and assemble as shown in the videos above. Cut two of the large flowers, centers and stitched rings. Assemble and attach to the pop-up mechanisms as shown in the video. From the Fun Flowers die set. Cut four green leaves and a variety of small flowers and flower centers. Decorate the large flower centers with a smaller flower and use the remaining small flowers for the belly band label.

Sentiments: The front, belly band sentiment “Wishing You Sunshine and Rainbows” and the inside “Happy Birthday” were stamped in black ink using the Rainbow Greetings stamp set. The Circles – Crosshatch dies were used to cut the labels for the sentiments.

Belly Band: Wrap loosely around the center of the folded closed card a 1 ½-inch x 8 ½-inch strip of yellow – green vellum. Making sure that the strip will easily slide off the card, trim and glue the ends together. Attach the sentiment circle decorated with tiny flowers over the band glued seam.

Card Back with belly band

Envelope: The card fits into a #10 business (4. x 9-inches) size envelope.

Father’s Day Card for a Navy Man

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a pop-up ship Father’s Day card full using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called The Royal Navy Heritage Collection.

Watch the process video to see how I use the paper collection.

Cardbase: From the The Royal Navy Heritage Collection digital paper collection, I printed single-sided 65lb. lightweight cardstock of the blue neckerchief design. (When the neckerchief is cut out, it makes a 5.25×7.5-inch side-fold card.) Next I printed out on cardstock the blue & white striped page, and the small waves on thin white paper. Using the Karen Burniston Rectangle and Labels – Crosshatch die set, I cut two large crosshatch rectangles from the striped cardstock and two smaller rectangles from the wave paper. The rectangles were glued inside the cardbase as shown in the video above.

Card Decorations: I printed on thin white paper, the images of the ships used on the front and the back of the card from the The Royal Navy Heritage Collection. The small tag on the back is also from the same collection.

Ship Pop-Up: I used the Karen Burniston’s 1277 – Boat Pop-Up and 1296 – Cruise Ship Add-Ons dies to create the gray pop-up naval ship. (Watch the video above for assembly.)

Sentiments: Karen Burniston dies sets of Thank You, Happy Father’s Day, Greeting Labels, Thank You Shadow and Mini Alphabet and Numbers were used for all the card sentiments.

Envelope:  The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) envelope with “Thank you for always being there” stamped on the back flap in navy ink using Karen Burniston’s Thank You Phrases stamp set.

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.

Quilted Square Interactive Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #318 whose parameters were: Ardyth’s Square (4.25-inch square) card, May garden colors, textile element and three layer random. I used Relatively Thoughtful digital papers as well as dies and stamps from Concord & 9th, Essentials by Ellen, Scrapbook.com, The Greetery & Waffle Flower.

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

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×8.5-inch square of lightweight cardstock and scored and folded at 4.25-inchs on each side and along one of the diagonal corner to corner. (See the video above for directions.) Decorate front and back with quilt blocks and the sides cover with 4.25-inch squares of colored paper cut in half diagonally.

Quilt Blocks: Using the Scrapbook.com Mini Quilt Block die set, cut six of all the die pieces from solid color decorative paper and another six sets from patterned paper. (I printed all my digital papers on thin computer paper.) Use a fine-tipped black marker to add stitching lines.

Sewing Notions: Using The Greetery’s Notionable die set, cut one pair scissors from silver foil cardstock. (I cut a second set from white as my silver cardstock was thin and tended to curl.) Cut the thimble, needle and seven pins also from silver cardstock. From white cut the three pieces for the spool of thread and color using a light brown for the spool and light gray for the thread. Leave the thread label white, but highlight the writing with a fine-tipped black marker. Cut the curling piece of thread from white and color light gray. (I used scraps of solid colored cardstock for the pincushion and pin heads.) The card of pins uses an image printed on cardstock from the Relatively Thoughtful Walter Crane In The Garden A4 digital paper collection.

Sentiments: The outside stamped sentiments of “You’re sew sweet” and “Made with love” are from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool. The inside sentiments come from Concord & 9th’s Sew Lovely stamp and die sets as well as Waffle Flower’s Quilted Hug stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with “What’s sewing on?” stamped on the back flap. Stamp is from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool.

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.

Giant Birthday Cake Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #317 whose parameters were: A9 project, florist shop colors, birthday(s) element and something from your MESK (messy desk). I used This Calls for Confetti stencils, dies and stamps for this 5.5×8.5-inch card.

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

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×11-inch sheet of single-sided floral cardstock (110lb) and scored and fold it in half to form a side-fold 5.5×8.5-inch A9 card. Next, I glued two solid pink 4.5×7.5-inch mats to the center of the front and back panels. On top of these two panels I glued pink floral 4×7 rectangles.

Sentiments: The sentiments are all on a single stamp (Alice’s Story Birthday Sentiments) that goes on over the stenciled cake layers. Then the cake is die-cut using the Three Tier Cake Layering Stencils & Die.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) envelope with some of the cake sentiments stamped on the back flap using Alice’s Story Birthday Sentiments.

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.
