Fireworks

Fireworks Pop-Up Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #302 whose parameters were: a card on card project, unicorn farm colors, light(s) element and label(s). I used Karen Burniston dies and Craft Roulette stamps for this pop-up birthday card.

Cardbase: I used a purchased American size A7 (5×7-inches) cardbase and matching envelope. The card base is covered with decorative paper panels inside and out using Karen Burniston’s Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch dies.

Pop-Up: Karen Burniston’s Triple Platform Pop-Up was used to create the pop-up inside that supports the glitter cardstock Fireworks. (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Triple Platform Pop-Up.)

Sentiments: “Celebrate!” is a Karen Burniston die cut in green. The Happy Birthday sentiment inside is from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #1.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) size envelope with the back flap stamped with “HBD” in two shades of green ink. The stamp is part of the Craft Roulette set used previously.

Good Bye 2024-Hello 2025!

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for December 2024 using the theme of “Happy New Year.” For this challenge I chose to make a top-fold A2 size card with pop-up fireworks and the sentiment “Happy New Year” on a wobble spring.

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

(Most of the instruction on how to make this card is in the video, but I’ve listed some measurements and sets used below.)

Card Back

Cardbase: Take an 11×4.25-inch rectangle and fold in half to create an A2 size top-fold card. Cover all four panels with decorative paper.

Pop-Up Fireworks: (I’ve used the double Katherine Label Pop-Up mechanism in these other cards – World Card Making Day Card, Flying By Pop-up Birthday Card, Interactive Money Holder Halloween Cards and Do What Brings You Joy.)

Sentiments: “Good Bye 2024” was made using four different sentiment die sets –Good Luck, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter and Mini Alphabet and Numbers. (See video for the word surgery used to create Good Bye.) “Happy New Year” has separate dies to cut out each word and a shadow die. I used four different foil and glitter cardstocks.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. To decorate, cover the back flap with matching card papers and stamp with the “Made with Love” from the Special Delivery stamp set. (I wasn’t paying attention and stamped the sentiment with the “Love” upside-down on my envelope.)

Celebrate the new year early with this glittery card that fills the night sky with fireworks and a fun celebration.

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

Cardbase: The cardbase is an 8.5x 5.5-inch rectangle of black cardstock that was scored and folded in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) card.

Fireworks Pop-Up: Inside the card is a fireworks pop-up made with the Fireworks and Photo Fan Pop-Up sets.

Sentiments: “2025” was cut using the Numbers dies set while the “Happy New Year” used the new layered Happy New Year set. The card is decorated with stars from the Fireworks set and confetti streamers from the Photo Fan Pop-Up set.
