Spring Pop-Up Birthday Card

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s June 2024 release of new dies and clear stamps. For this birthday card I used several of the new sets including: Tree Add-Ons and Happy Birthday Lorna Add-Ons die sets and the Birthday/Belated clear stamp set. The new release will be available on July 1, 2024.

Watch the YouTube video below to learn how the card was made.

Cardbase: I used double-sided patterned paper and cut a 4 x 12-inch rectangle and folded it in half.

Trees Pop-Up: From coordinating patterned paper, I cut the Tree Add-Ons main die and scored it at 6-inches from either end. The tabs created by this scoring are what will be glued onto the card. To attach the pop-up, train all the folds and flatten them out. Place the center fold of pop-up over center fold of card. Fold back tabs and glue in place. Decorate pop-up using dies in the set. A white fence was added to the center of the pop-out using a die in the Farm Edges set.

Sentiments: The β€œHappy Birthday” on the card front is from the new Happy Birthday Lorna Add-Ons die set. Inside is a stamped and heat embossed sentiment β€œIt’s your birthday. Hope it is wonderful” made up of four different stamps in the Birthday/Belated clear stamp set. The middle size crosshatch die in the Labels – Crosshatch set was used to created the inside sentiment and personal message labels.

Envelope: This card fits into an A6 envelope which was decorated with a border strip from the patterned paper collection.
