You Shine! – A Sweet Birthday 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 birthday card for someone who loves lavender.

Cardbase:  I used a purchased A7 (5×7-inch) cardbase and envelope to create this layered floral card with positive vibes. The background of Lavender cardstock was cut with the scalloped edged rectangle from Karen Burniston’s Rectangles & Labels die set and covered with dots from a white gel pen.

Jar:  Stamping the jar on a lightweight white cardstock I drew green stems in the jar with an alcohol marker and then inked in the jar using the stencil as a mask with a light green-blue ink. Again using the jar stencil, I covered the jar with a light coating of a glitter paste and let dry. Die cut out the jar once it is thoroughly dried.

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.

Sentiments:  Die cut the “You Shine” from dark purple and its shadow from white. Glue together.  Stamp on the outside envelope flap “you have a way of making everything better just by being you” in black ink. Stamp the tiny trio of flowers in purple ink to match flowers on the card. Using the same purple ink to stamp “Happy Birthday” inside the card using the Craft Roulette sentiment stamp.

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

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.

Button Heart Gate Fold Aperture Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #250 whose parameters included a funn fold card, nostalgic colors, blanket element and buttons.

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

Details and supplies used are below.

Cardbase: Cut a 5.5×12-inch piece of light pink cardstock. Score at 2-inches, 4-inches, 8-inches and 10-inches. Fold as shown in video. On the gate fold panels, place heart die with center points over the fold and die-cut. Repeat on other side lining up the die to make a mirror image. I used the third largest die in Karen Burniston’s Hearts – Crosshatch set.

Buttons: I cut 70 buttons from four shades of pink cardstock. Using thin cotton string, thread the buttons’ holes and hand-tied knots to all of the card front buttons. The buttons were cut using Karen Burniston’s Sewing Charms die set.

Sentiments: All sentiments stamped in black ink on two rectangular panels cut using Karen Burniston’s Rectangles Crosshatch die set. “Happy Birthday is by Rubbernecker Stamps and the other two sentiments are Riley and Company’s Funny Bones stamps.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope. A die-cut button was glued to back flap to hint at whats to come.

A Pop-Up Zoyfold Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #249 whose parameters included a zoyfold card, elegant colors, front door and three circles. (This is my second zoyfold card. Click here to see my first.)

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

Details and supplies used are below.

Cardbase: The cardbase is really a blend of two cardbases together. The larger card is a 5×7-inch landscape/horizontal z-fold card with an almost square 4 1/2x 5 1/2-inch card for a joyfold card Hence the newly coined card fold – the zoyfold (The term was coined by Mary Gunn Funn and Irene “Hattrick” Smith on the Craft Roulette Members Show #244.) Watch the process video for assembly instructions. The back of the card is covered with striped paper and a scalloped rectangle from the Karen Burniston’s Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set.

Gingerbread House: (Watch the assembly videos for the Tiny House Pop-Up and Gingerbread Tiny House Add-ons at the bottom of each of the linked pages.) I used Nuvo Jewel Drops, Nellie’s Choice Snow Effects and adhesive backed peppermint candies to decorate the gingerbread house before attaching the house to the card with hot glue.

Sentiments: All sentiments are by Karen Burniston. ”You’re Sweet!” and “Happy Birthday” die cuts. The envelope sentiment is from the Sweet Treats stamp set.

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

A Pop-Up Tag Card with a Nautical Theme

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #248 whose parameters included a tag(s) , Disney colors, January element, and branch (es) or (ing). I used a Craft Roulette stamp set and two 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 heavy weight light blue cardstock and two more from darker blue lightweight cardstock. The rectangular hinge die I cut once from light blue cardstock. The dark blue pieces I trimmed a 1/16-inch off all edges and then glued the dark blue on top of the light blue. The hinge was glued onto the inside of the light blue panels. (Watch Karen’s assembly video for her Tag Book Pop-Up.) You can cut two of the large tags from patterned paper to cover over the hinge on the inside. (It is easier to do the patterned paper background now than after you’ve glued in the yellow pop-up piece as I show in the process video above.) There are a number of decorator dies that come in the Tag Book Pop-Up Set such as the chain rope and hole protectors.

Pop-Up Panels: Cut two of the inside die piece from lightweight yellow cardstock. Cut two sets of the decorating strips die from dark blue. Follow the assembly instructions in her video.

Nautical Elements: The nautical elements of a ship, life preserver, anchor and ship’s wheel are all die cut and stenciled using dies from Karen Burniston’s Cruse Charms. (You can watch Karen’s assembly video for these charms at the bottom of this linked page Cruse Charms.) The chain rope borders and dark blue background mats are all dies in the Tag Book Pop-Up die set. The tags have red and white baker’s twine tied to them.

Sentiments:   The “Happy Birthday” and HBD sign are stamps in the Craft Roulette Funn Friend #1 stamp set. The “HBD” letters and yellow shade were cut using the stamp set’s coordinating dies.

Envelope:  The card fits into a purchased A6 (4.5x 6-inches) size envelope or larger.

Below is the Craft Roulette Community Showcase show on which I originally made this card.

Accordion Birthday Card For A Crafty Friend

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #247 whose parameters included a card for a crafty friend, pretty paper colors, bell(s) or belle(s) element, and something gold. I used Craft Roulette stamp sets and Karen Burniston dies.

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

Cardbase:  Cut three of the large die from the Landscape Rectangle Accordion die set from heavy weight cardstock. Cut three of the same die from thin decorative papers. Trim out the center pivot panel and side tab to form the decorative frames. Glue frames onto the larger panels. (I used a pretty patterned paper of blue, lavender and green for the center frame and coordinating lavender paper for the other two frames.)

Fence:  Watch the assembly video at the bottom of this linked page Fence Add-Ons for a how-to on adding the fence into the accordion frame. (I used coordinating striped paper to cover gray cardstock fence pieces before i glued the fence in place.) The bluebell flowers are from the Fence Add-Ons die set.

People: The people were stamped using Craft Roulette’s Funn Friend stamp sets #1 and #2. They are colored with blended watercolor pencils. Using some teal colored twine, I tied a multi-looped bow with a small gold bell onto the card frame.

Sentiments:  On the third panel is the poetic crafty birthday sentiment which was embellished with hand-drawn balloons and a hint of glitter gloss. The sentiment is from the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #1 stamp set. The “Happy Birthday” and HBD sign are stamps in the Funn Friend #1 stamp set. “Crafty Friend” was hand written.

Envelope:  The card fits into a purchased A7 (5x 7-inches) size cream envelope. The back flap of the envelope was stamped with “HBD” (Happy Birthday) in a plum colored ink.

The powdered sugar is white spray ink.

Sentiments:  On the card front is a die-cut “Merry Christmas” made using just the word shadow and words from the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-Ons set.
