| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #327 whose parameters were: an interactive card, Summer colors, “Here Comes The Bride” element and ink edging as random. I used Karen Burniston dies and stamp sets.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Cardbase: Score and fold a 10×7-inch white rectangle of cardstock into a 5×7-inch cardbase. Ink the edges with green ink cube. Cut two sets of crosshatch frame and rectangle from two different patterned papers using the largest two dies in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. Glue frames and rectangles onto the four panels of the cardbase as shown in video above.

Glue tabs on back of arch down before gluing on the decorator dies cut from the Rainbow Add-Ons set. Decorate with the bride and groom and floral pieces described below.

Bride: Using the Paper People die set, cut one of the figure, one set of hair style pieces, one short skirt, one of the curvy v-neck t-shirt and one set of the slippers. From silver foil cardstock, cut one half circle. This will be the tiara that tucks behind the front hair piece.Using the Wedding Charms die set, cut one dress and trim off the bodice.This will be the skirt of the wedding dress. Trim figure at the waist and glue legs to back of the skirt so just the toes of the shoes pip out. Assemble as shown in the video (I used the Fun Faces 1 stamp set to stamp on her face before I added her hair.) Brush dress with Glitter Gloss for a shimmer.

Groom: Using the Paper People die set, cut one of the figure, one hair, one pants, one set of shoes, one long sleeved shirt. Using the Wedding Charms die set, cut one tuxedo and one of the shirt triangle piece. Trim the tuxedo’s loop, sleeves and pants off. Glue in shirt triangle and assemble the coat as shown in the video above. (I used the Fun Faces 1 stamp set to stamp on his face before I added his hair.) Color shoes, jacket lapels and buttons with light gray marker. Brush tuxedo with Glitter Gloss for a shimmer.

Floral Decorations: Assemble flowers and three butterflies from the Flower Pot Add-On die set using a small sponge dauber to add inky highlights to the pieces. Cut and assemble six large daisies, two small daisies and several tiny flowers from the Flowers and Bee die set. Using the Twist Flower Pop-Up set, cut six daisy borders and a number of small daisies. Cut six of the bluebells from the Fence Add-Ons set.

Sentiments: Using the Wedding Charms die set, cut “Best Wishes” from matte gold cardstock and the shadow from white. Adhere to card front using the left over flowers to decorate.

Gift Card Holder Wallet

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #326 whose parameters were: a dude’s card, sleigh ride colors, farm critter(s) element and pen random. I used Honey Bee Stamps Gallery Wall Gentlemen Add-On and Lovely Layers Wallet.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Wallet: I used brown, faux-leather, textured cardstock to create this wallet swiped with black ink to bring out the texture.The Wallet die set is used for all the pieces. From the faux leather cardstock, cut one of the long base piece, one of the frame pocket, one of the short strip and two of the plain pocket (trim one pocket 1″ shorter than the other.) Assemble as shown in the video above. Attach closure strip with adhesive only on the end ends of the strip and add as shown in video. Glue on brass brads/buttons to strip and tab.

Gift Card Holder: From the Wallet die set, cut the rectangular gift card holder which has four slots from some kraft cardstock. (I added the gentleman fox image as a placeholder for a gift card.)

Sentiments: I left off any sentiments on this card to personalize it for a special occasion. The two inside cards are cut with the frame pocket die in the Wallet die set and could have sentiments stamped on them. The card recipient’s initials were added to the wallet from using Karen Burniston’s Mini Alphabet and Numbers.

Gentleman Fox: Using Honey Bee Stamps Gallery Wall Gentlemen Add-On, cut one orange base silhouette, one black jacket and lapels, one set of creamy white neck and ears, one set of black nose and eyes. Assemble as shown on layering guide. Use a fine-tipped black pen to highlight the embossed details.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope.

Don’t Be Alarmed Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #325 whose parameters were: flip fold card, tartan colors, time or clock element and add a bow random. I used This Calls for Confetti and Simon Says Stamp! dies & stamps and digital papers from Relatively Thoughtful for this A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card and envelope.

Cardbase: Printed out three 8.5×11-inch sheets of digital papers from the Independent Women Authors collection by Relatively Thoughtful (two solid colors and one patterned paper.) From purple, I cut a 4.25×9.8125-inch an scored and folded at 5.5-inches. From green, I cut a 3.9375×5-inch rectangle. From the patterned paper I cut a 3.625×4.75-inch rectangle. I also cut a 1.5×4.25-inch purple rectangle.

To assemble, I centered and glued the patterned paper onto the green piece. Next, the small purple piece was glued at the bottom of the long side of the long purple cardbase over the white inside so that when the card is closed it looks like solid purple base. Center the green/pattern paper rectangle onto the short flap of the purple cardbase and glue. (Stamp the sentiments before adding the dimensional clock and bow to card back.)

Sentiments: The inside sentiments of “Don’t be alarmed” and “The hour is drawing near,” come from This Calls For Confetti’s Don’t Be Alarmed stamp set. “Happy Birthday” and “Put a bow on it!” are in the Simon Says Stamp! Put A Bow On It stamp set.

Clock: Using the This Calls For Confetti Moments in Time dies, cut from silver all the clock pieces with the exception of the circle frame and clock face. Using both the circle frame and clock face dies together to cute the clock frame from silver holographic cardstock. Turn the holographic clock face over to the white back side and glue onto the clock back piece. Adhere the bells and decorative pieces to clock back piece. (I wish I had popped-up the bells with foam tape.) Using double-side tape adhere a piece of clear plastic acetate to the circle frame back and trim away the excess plastic. Double-up the foam tape to make it 2mm thick and place the tape onto the acetate so that it is hidden behind the circle frame. (I originally was going to make this a shaker card, but I decided to glue the Trinity Stamps – Sparkle Spots onto the clock face because it looked better.) Glue the completed clock onto the card front.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with a bow and “Put a bow on it” stamped on the back flap in black ink. Stamps are from Simon Says Stamp!.

Z-Fold Pop-Up Golf Themed Father’s Day Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #320 whose parameters were: z-fold card, Summer vacation colors, game(s) element and add a cat random. I used Karen Burniston dies and Crackerbox Stamps for this A7 (5×7-inch) card and envelope.

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

Cardbase: I took a purchased A7 (5×7-inch) white cardbase and folded the front panel at 2-inchs from the corner for a z-fold cardbase. Next, I cut panels of green textured paper and covered the three inside panels and used a leftover scrap to cover the left half of the front of the card.

Golfer Pop-Up: Stamp golfer on white cardstock in black and color in pants and hair and shoes. Rough cut the shape of golfer and glue green paper to back side. Fussy cut the golfer. Die cut two of the Flip Frame Pop-Up arm mechanism from white 65lb. cardstock. Cut one more mechanism arm from the green paper. (Watch assembly video at bottom of linked page for Flip Frame Pop-Up.) Set aside one of the white arms for the golf ball in next step. With the remaining white arm, train the folds as shown in the video above. Cut apart the green arm into sections to cover the exposed sides of the white arm. (The two largest sections go on the top of mechanism and save the tab pieces to cover the back sides of the tabs once the mechanism is glued into the cardbase.) Glue in the arm at the top of the main inside fold of cardbase. Glue the golfer to the front face of the mechanism as shown in the videos, making sure that golf club doesn’t stick out of the fold close card.

Golf Ball Pop-Up: Cut one of the Flip Frame Pop-Up arm mechanism from the backside of the green paper. Train the folds of the reserved white arm backwards from the arm used for the golfer. Cover the arm using the green paper arm sections as done in the last step for the golfer’s mechanism. Stamp two golf balls on white cardstock and fussy cut out. Cut a strip of clear acetate (plastic) about 3/8-inch by 2-inches. With the stamped sides out, sandwich, using double-sided tape, the acetate strip between the two balls. Set aside. Practice laying-out where the second mechanism arm will be glued into the card so that the golfer won’t become a catch-point for the second mechanism. (I didn’t do this step and ended up having to remove the second arm. You can see the divots from that mistake to the right of the golfer’s feet.) Once the arm mechanism is glued and dry. Test fit the ball strip and determine the length of the plastic strip so that the ball fits inside the card. Attach strip to front of arm mechanism with double-sided tape. (You can add a grassy decoration piece over the base of the strip.)

Sentiments: The outside sentiment of “FORE!” is made up of die-cut letters from Karen Burniston’s Alphabet dies. Inside the sentiment is made with her Happy Father’s Day shadow and word dies. The white label for a personal message is from the Flip Frame Pop-Up set. The funny golf sentiment on the card back is from Crackerbox Stamps.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) envelope with “The grass is always green on the golf course” stamped on the back flap in green ink. Stamp is from Crackerbox Stamps.

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.”

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.)

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.

| 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.

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.
