| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #280 whose parameters included a thinking of you project, hometown colors, cup or glass element, and add a doodle. Today’s card uses Karen Burniston dies and stamps along with a pop-up die set from Paper Discovery.

Watch the video below to see how this card was made.

Cardbase:  I started with a purchased A6 sized (4.625×6.25-inches) cardbase and matching envelope. I covered the four panels with decorative paper from a 6×8-inch paper pad from American Crafts.

Teacup Pop-Up:  Watch the video above to see how the teacup and saucer were assembled. They were die cut from white cardstock using Paper Discovery dies by Olga Direktorenko – Teacup Fairies Timeless Tea Set Pop-Up Die Set. (This die set came out in 2020.) The flowers are from the Flowers and Bee die set.

Sentiments:  “Thinking of you” on the card front is die cut in green using Word Set 1 – Greetings. The label for a personal message is the is from the Rectangles – Crosshatch die set. The smaller label cut using the label die in the Bouquet Bits die set and is stamped in black brown ink using the Bouquet Sayings stamp set.

Envelope:  The back flap is stamped with “Craft Roulette”.

Stenciled cards by the batch load

| ullycatdesigns

Needing a lot of cards, I decided to stencil some A7 size card bases to make some special pop-up birthday cards for a card exchange.  Here are the 10 cards I made using purchased card bases with matching envelopes.

Watch the video below to see how I made these cards.

Cardbase: I used five white cardbases and envelopes by Park Lane and five kraft paper cardbases and envelopes by American Crafts.

Pop-Up Mechanism: The pop-up mechanism that lifts the “Happy Birthday” and balloons is Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Up. (Watch an assembly video for it by clicking on the die name and scrolling down to the bottom of the linked page.)

Stenciling: I used three different stencils and two different colors of stencil pastes. First, I taped down the cardbase to a piece of packing paper (think brown craft paper/newsprint) next I taped the stencil to the scrap paper over the cardbase and applied the stencil paste using a disposable plastic knife left from a take-out meal. Between each card, I washed the stencil and knife.

Sentiments:  The “Hello” and “Happy Birthday” die cut sentiments, balloons and pop-up mechanism are all by Karen Burniston. The stamped birthday verse is by Craft Roulette and stamped in brown ink.

Monster Slimline Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #279 whose parameters included a kid’s card, theater colors, picture(s) element, and half & half. I chose to make a monster themed slimline pop-up card using dies by Karen Burniston and stamps by Picket Fence Studios and Craft Roulette.

Cardbase:  The cardbase is a 110 lb. cream cardstock 8.5×7.5-inch rectangle scored and fold in the center to make a 3.75x 8.5-inch top fold card. Three 3.5×8.25-inch rectangles of an orange patterned paper were used to cover the front and two inside panels of the card base. Two off-cut squares of the same paper was used to cover the cardbase back panel.

Triple Platform Pop-Ups:  Two Triple Platform Pop-Ups are what make the monster pictures pop-up as the card opens.  Watch the assembly video on the linked page. (Video is at the bottom of the linked page.) The base piece was cut from thin cream cardstock, while the trim pieces were cut from the orange paper used as the decorative panels on the card.

Monsters:  The monsters were stamped on a thin creamy cardstock in black and the colored and die cut using the rectangle base dies from the Photo Collage Pop-Up set. The frames were cut from the same die set using shimmer cardstock.

Sentiment:  “Beware: Monsters like birthday cake” was stamped in black from Picket Fence Studios You Creep Me Out set. “Happy Birthday” and its shadow are dies by Karen Burniston. The white stitched label is from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set. The slices of cake and streamers are from the Big Birthday Charms die set. The card back is stamped with “Inspired by Craft Roulette, made by” in blue ink on to a white rectangle from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set.

Envelope:  The card fits into #10 business envelope (4.125x 9.5-inches) which was stamped with “HBD” on its back in red ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.

Bottom Fold Purse Pop-Up Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for August 2025 using the theme of bottom fold pop-up card. I chose to make a purse card using the Ovals – Crosshatch, Happy Birthday words & shadow, Dolled Up Charms, Bam Box Pop-Up and Display Helpers die sets as well as the Birthday Magic stamp set.

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

Cardbase & Handles: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of patterned cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Place the largest Oval-Crosshatch die on the folded card with a tiny bit of the long edge of the oval die hanging off the folded edge. Die cut to have a shaped oval card base. Use the Display Helpers large paperclip die to cut the slots to thread the ribbon handles through as shown in the video above. Weave in the ribbon handles and clasp strip before gluing down the inside decorative ovals. (These ovals are the second largest dies in the Oval-Crosshatch set and are used to cover the ribbon raw edges and the clasp edge.)

Bam Box Pop-Up & Clasp: Watch the assembly video for the Bam Box Pop-Up. Cut out one of the Bam Box strip mechanism. Cut five of the decorative rectangles from paper matching the cardbase paper. Make Bam Box as show in the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page. Glue three of the decorative panels on to the Bam Box as shown in the video above. Glue the two remaining rectangles back to back and fold slightly off center to form the clasp. Glue clasp and Bam Box in as directed in the video above. Adhere two magnets using double-sided tape as shown in the video above. Stamp “Lift” on the front of the clasp using the Display Helpers stamp set.

Lipstick:  Using the Dolled Up Charms die set to cut out the four pieces of the lipstick tube from gold and red cardstock. Follow the directions in the video above and glue to the white oval cut with the third largest crosshatch die in the Oval-Crosshatch set.

Sentiments:  All the stamped sentiments come from the Birthday Magic stamp set and are stamped in black ink. The die-cut “Happy Birthday” uses the word die and its matching shadow die to make the pop-up Bam Box greeting.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with “You bring the Sparkle” on the back flap in black ink.

Choo-Choo Train Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #276 whose parameters included an easel card, rainbow colors, western element, and black and white image. I chose to make a shaped, slimline easel card using dies by Anna Griffin and Sue Wilson.

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

Cardbase:  The cardbase is cut from 110 lb. white cardstock using Anna Griffin’s Antique Train Slimline Easel dies to cut out the two cardbase pieces. Rainbow striped paper was added to the card base and the excess was fussy cut off. (You could die cut the piece again if you don’t like to fussy cut.)

Train:  The detailed train image is cut in black and glued to the shaped outline of the train before it is attached to the card base.

Sentiment:  Cut three sets of Sue Wilson’s “Happy Birthday” from the scraps of white cardstock used for the cardbase. Glue the layers together. Let dry under a paperweight to have the dry flat.  Adhere to cardbase to be used as the easel stop.

Envelope:  The card fits into #10 business envelope (4.125x 9.5-inches) which was stamped with “HBD” on its back in red ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.

Gilded Pop-up Birthday Cards

| ullycatdesigns

Needing some birthday cards and wanting to try out some brass colored Shimmer Relief Paste from Altenew, I made these stenciled-with-paste, card fronts and embellished them with ribbon and a Karen Burniston“hello” two-piece die cut.  Inside is a Karen Burniston pop-up greeting and a Craft Roulette inspired verse.

Cardbase: I used purchased A7 (5×7-inch) cardbases that I stenciled the fronts with Shimmer Relief Paste and stencils by Honey Bee Stamps (Scattered Seeds) and Scrapbook.com (Hearts). The card backs feature a single balloon from the Big Birthday Charms die set.

Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Katherine Label. Stamp the verse inside the card before adding the mechanism. (I found that gluing the bottom word onto the mechanism worked best to avoid catchpoints, including the two added balloons.)

Sentiments:  All the inside die cut sentiments used on the card come Karen Burniston designs including the Katherine Label mechanism that pops the “Happy Birthday” up with its Big Birthday Charms balloons. The stamped verse is from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope stamped with “HBD” on the back flap from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01.

Stenciled Cake Pop-Up Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

Here are two birthday cards I made using a stamp and coordinating die and stencils set from This Calls For Confetti and Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Up and Happy Birthday word die sets.

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

I made two versions of the card – one using patterned paper as a background and the other with a stenciled card front.  Both started with a purchased A6 (4.5×6.25-inch) cardbase with matching envelope. Both have the pop-up sentiment inside with the words, shadow and mechanism being cut from an additional cardbase and colored with the same Distress Ink colors used to stencil the cake.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A6 (4.5x 6.25-inches) size envelope stamped with a sentiment from Craft Roulette.

S’more Funn Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #273 whose parameters included a lady’s card, candy wrapper colors, camp(s)/(ing) element, and belt. I chose to make a trifold, slimline card that is interactive using Karen Burniston dies and some custom cut pieces of my own design.

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

Cardbase:  The cardbase is a trifold, so there are three panels (I made mine out of 80lb black and 110lb white cardstock, but you could make it all out of 100 lb black.) I cut two black panels at 3.75×8.5-inches for the card back. One white 4.125 x6-inches (Score at 3.75-inches and at 3.875-inches.) Cut another white panel at 4.125×7-inches (Score at 3.75-inches.) Cut two thumb holes in each panel as shown in video using die from Whirly Wheel die set. Follow video above for assembly order of panels. (You can follow the video with cutting the waves into the white cardbase panels or you and just round the tops of the panels as I eventually did.)

Flame Panels:  Cut one 3.75×6-inch panel and one 3.75×7-inch panel. Using the waves die in the Curved Edges die set, cut the two panels with waves at the top. Cut two sets of five different fire colors using the waves die from 4×3-inch pieces of paper. Adhere the fire color pieces to the panels going from darkest to lightest colors. (I ended with a dark color next to custom cut and colored logs.)

Whirly Wheel Flames:  (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked Whirly Wheel die set.) Cut two sets of wheels, thermometer arms, and washers from heavy white cardstock. (I recommend adding the arrows before adding the clear packing tape by either using a marker and the die as a stencil or stamping using the Whirly Wheel Words stamp set.) Cover all die-cut pieces with clear packing tape. Assemble as shown in the video. Test flame shapes to add to Whirly Wheel arm making sure they stay within the card base when closed. Attach to arm as shown in video.

Marshmallow Sticks:  I drew my marshmallows on sticks on a piece of 8.5x 3.5-inch white cardstock. They were fussy cut and then the sticks were colored dark brown. The marshmallows were covered with Nellie’s Choice Snow Effects, allowed to dry and then colored with light brown and hints of black to make the bubbling, toasted look of the marshmallows. The sticks were fitted and folded to the card before gluing on to the card back.

Sentiment Pop-Up:  Die cut a white l-shaped mechanism from the Katherine Label Pop-Up die set. (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked die set.) Die cut in orange and red, the Happy Birthday and its shadow piece. Install the mechanism into card making sure it is high enough in the card not to interfere with the thumbholes. Color the top sides of the mechanism black to blend into the background. (I cut a 1.5×1.75-inch piece of black and colored afterwards. You could just color the three sides of the box part of the mechanism at this point.) Glue Happy Birthday onto its shadow and adhere to mechanism.

Sentiment Belt:  Cut an 11×2.5-inch strip of dark brown textured cardstock. Fold it around the card loosely so it can slide off. Glue together back edges. On a computer design a 2×2.75-inch brown panel that says “Dear Sweet Lady, Wishing you S’more Funn!” followed by instructions on how to operate the card. An additional instruction panel is added to the back of the belt.

Envelope:  The card fits into #10 business envelope (4.125x 9.5-inches).

Rainbow Bridge Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for July 2025 using the theme of Rainbow. I choose to make a sympathy card for a pet using the new Rainbow Add-Ons and the previously released Flip Frame Pop-Up, Cat and Dog, and Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die sets along with the Rainbow Greetings stamp set.

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

Cardbase: I started with a purchased side-fold 4×6-inch A6 cardbase. Cover the four panels with decorative papers cut using the scalloped edge die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set. Use the large frame die in the Flip Frame Pop-Up set to cut the card front frame. The dog comes from the Cat and Dog die set. I inked the white dog slightly with gray ink and used a fine tipped black marker to stencil in his face and paw areas.

Rainbow Flip Pop-Up: Watch the assembly videos for the Flip Frame Pop-Up and Rainbow Add-Ons located at the bottom of each linked die set.

Sentiments:  All the sentiments used on the card come from the Rainbow Greetings stamp set and are stamped in brown ink. They are cut out using the two smallest label dies in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A6 (4×6-inches) size envelope.
