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.”

Guitar and Daisies Wedding Card

| ullycatdesigns

This wedding card was commissioned for a couple who love the mountains, music and want to live a life in sync with nature.

Cardbase: I folded an 8.5×11 sheet of caramel-colored 65lb. cardstock in half to create a 5.5×8.5-inch cardbase. Next, I used the large guitar die from the Paper Discovery Music – Play On -Guitar & Violin to cut a shaped cardbase on the fold.

Outside of Card Open
Card Back Closed

Guitar Front: Using the guitar die from Paper Discovery Music – Play On -Guitar & Violin, I cut a single layer guitar from woodgrain embossed cardstock and stained it using the ink cube of Rusty Hinge Distress ink. Next, I cut the sound hole circle into the woodgrain guitar. The trim pieces of the circle were cut from black and the un-stained woodgrain cardstock. The pickguard and bridge pieces were cut from black. Clear vellum was used for the strings. (I found using a clear ruler with 1/8-inch grid helped with gluing the strings on straight.)

Card Front: Glued the finished woodgrain guitar to cardbase front matching up the curved edges and trimming off the excess along the fold. Then I cut a 5.5×8.5-inch rectangle of brown handmade floral paper and glued it to the inside of the cardbase as a backing to the card front. (I trimmed off the top left corner of brown paper following the guitar shape. I made white daisies in three sized using Karen Burniston’s Flowers and Bees die set and glued five daisies onto the brown paper along the guitar’s right edge.

Sentiments: Karen Burniston’s Word Set 12 – Anniversary was used for the front sentiment “Happy Wedding Day.” It was die-embossed from a shed-less glitter paper then a shadow was fussy-cut around the words. The words were cut again from the backside of the brown floral paper and glued onto the gold shadows. Inside, the sentiment of “Always take the scenic route” from i-Crafter’s Wonderful World was stamped in dark brown ink.

Envelope:  The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) size envelope with “Congratulations” (by Simon Says Stamp!) stamped in dark brown ink on the back flap.

Monet Waterlilies Inspired Birthday Pop-Up Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #321 whose parameters were: gatefold card, Monet colors, natural element and crinkle inkle (inking technique) random. I used Karen Burniston dies and stamps for this slimline (4×8 5/8-inch) card.

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

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.)

Window Frames: Cut four circular frames from blue cardstock using the fourth and fifth smallest dies from the Circles – Crosshatch set. Using double-sided tape, attach the frames to both sides of a piece of acetate and trim the plastic to fit frames. Glue frames onto card front as shown in video.

Flower Pop-Ups: (Watch the assembly video for the Twist Flower Pop-Up at the bottom of the linked page.) Cut two of the Twist Flower Pop-Up mechanism die from green cardstock and assemble as shown in the videos above. Cut two of the large flowers, centers and stitched rings. Assemble and attach to the pop-up mechanisms as shown in the video. From the Fun Flowers die set. Cut four green leaves and a variety of small flowers and flower centers. Decorate the large flower centers with a smaller flower and use the remaining small flowers for the belly band label.

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.

Card Back with belly band

Groovy Vibes Tri-fold Junk Journal Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a pop-up junk journal birthday card full of the FAB FOUR using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called Groovy Vibes.

Watch the process video to see how I use the paper collection.

Cardbase: I printed double-sided papers of the blue daisies with solid blue on the back and the crocheted granny squares with the pink sunburst on the back. from the blue daisies I cut a 6-inch square and a 6.5×6-inch rectangle. From the granny squares paper I cut a 6.5×6-inch rectangle. The two rectangles were scored and folded at a half-inch to form 6-inch squares with a tab. Follow the video above on how to glue the two tabbed pieces to the 6-inch square.

Waterfall Card Front: I printed double-sided paper of the pink daisies with the pink sunburst on the back, before cutting out the waterfall pieces using the Karen Burniston’s 1161 – Waterfall Card dies. Follow the directions in the video above to assemble. The Fab Four images were from the smaller images page of musicians while the song lyrics were from the larger rainbow page and the smaller hearts page.The square images were cut out using dies in the set. The title piece and birthday sentiment were fussy cut from the digital paper collection.

Photo Gallery Pop-Up: I used the Karen Burniston’s 1331 – Photo Gallery Pop-Up dies to create the pop-up gallery of head shots of the FAB Four. Follow the directions in the video above to assemble. The names were written on the white cardstock frames with a black fine-tipped marker before the clear packing tape was applied.

Sentiments: All the inside sentiments and images were hand-cut including the two white tags for a personal message.

Envelope:  The card would need a custom envelope and because of its thickness, it would be best hand-delivered.

March Themed Pop N’ Swap Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #311 whose parameters were: a card with a tag, aquarium colors, march/March element and twist(s). I created this 5×7-inch card using Karen Burniston stamps and dies as well as Graphic 45 papers.

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

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the cardbase from a purchased 5×7 cardbase. I trimmed off 1.75-inches from the top of the card front. From the paper collection I used three different designs to cut the mats used on the front and inside of the card. Using the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set, I cut two of the largest crosshatch border die from dark green, two of the largest plain die from light green and the scalloped rectangle from blue. From the green rectangles I used the medium plain rectangle die to cut out the centers for use elsewhere in the card.The paper collection has a sheet of borders that I cut apart and used to decorate the card.

Lion and Lamb: Watch assembly videos at the bottom of the linked pages for the Chicken, Pig and Lamb and the Monkey and Lion die sets. I used markers to add dimension and texture to the animals.

Pop N’ Swap Mechanism: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked Pop N’ Swap page.) Cut one of the mechanism from a light to medium weight cardstock. Using the two small rectangle dies in the Pop N’ Swap, cut two of the large die from light green and another two using the smaller die inside the larger die to cut frames of dark green. Assemble the framed rectangles with the lion and lamb as shown in the video above. Test placement of rectangles and trim as necessary before gluing the rectangles onto the mechanism arms.

Sentiments: The front sentiment of “March – In like a lion and Out like a Lamb” was originally from the Farmer’s Almanac. I die cut the word “MARCH” using a retired Spellbinder’s Font One – Upper Case and digitally created the rest of the sentiment and then die cut it out using the scalloped edge rectangle die in the Pop N’ Swap die set. Inside, a journaling card was used from the Graphic 45 Spring Is In The Air collection pack for the “Blossom by Blossom, Spring begins.” The tag was cut using the same die as on the card front with a stamped sentiment of ” Sending Happy Thoughts” from Karen Burniston’s Stage Scenes stamp set. I used a hole punch to have a spot to thread some baker’s twine through to make a tag.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) size envelope with a strip of decorative paper and leftover heart on the back of the envelope.

A Rosy Tag Book Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team March 2026 Challenge whose theme is For The Birds.I’ve chosen to make a Circle Tag Book Pop-Up card using rose patterned paper with bird embellishments from the Outdoor Scene die set and long stem roses from the Love Is In The Air Charms. There is also a tag bookmark feature to the card using the Topper Tags die set.

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

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Circle Tag Book Pop-Up. Cut four of the tag die from patterned paper. Cut one hinge piece and two of the pop-up mechanism piece from the same patterned paper. Cut four of the circles from white cardstock. Also from white cardstock, cut two each of the medium and small birds in the Outdoor Scene set. Cut from red and pink cardstock four each of the circle and flower hole protectors from the Circle Tag Book Pop-Up set. Follow the video above for the assembly of card and placement of small birds.

Bookmark: The bookmark and lacy pocket were made by cutting the smallest tag die in the Topper Tags set from patterned paper. The white trim was cut from the backside of a scrap of the patterned paper with the decorative edge die in the same set and trimmed with the smallest tag die. The pocket was made in a similar way, but using the next largest tag die to cut to size. The flying bird was cut from white cardstock using the largest bird die in the Outdoor Scene set.

Sentiments: Using a stamping platform with the white circles cut using the Circle Tag Book Pop-Up circle dies, sentiments were picked from the following Karen Burniston stamp sets: Bouquet Sayings, Stage Scenes and Strut Your Stuff. “Big Hugs” on the bookmark comes from the Cat Sayings set. The long stem roses come from the Love Is In The Air Charms set.

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