Groovy Vibes Tri-fold Junk Journal Birthday Card

Iโ€™m here today with a pop-up junk journal birthday card full of the FAB FOUR using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers โ€“ 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 Burnistonโ€™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 Burnistonโ€™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: ย The card would need a custom envelope and because of its thickness, it would be best hand-delivered.

March Themed Pop N’ Swap Card

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 5ร—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: ย The card fits into an A7 (5ร—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

Itโ€™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: ย The card fits into an A2 (4.25ร—5.5-inch) size envelope.

Pop-Up Chalkboard Birthday Card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #306 whose parameters were: A7 card, summer dessert colors, chalkboard element and bottom border. I used a variety of dies and stamps from Concord & 9th, Fun Stampers Journey, Hero Arts and Karen Burniston to make this pop-up birthday card.

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

Cardbase: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Cut from 100 lb. cardstock one 5×7-inch rectangle and one 5×7.5-inch rectangle scored at 7-inches. Using Karen Burniston’s Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set, cut four of the largest crosshatch panel from decorative paper. Cut the pop-up tabs from Karen Burniston’s Christmas Trees Pop Stand die set into the inside papers as directed in the video, before gluing them into the card.

Pop-Up Chalkboard: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Cut two sign board easels from brown heavy weight cardstock and two black panels using the dies in the January 2019 My Hero Arts kit. Stamp with clear ink and heat emboss the sentiment and cake image with white detail embossing powder before assembling the easel.

Floral Decorations: (Watch the video above.) My colored cardstock was made by swiping ink pads across white and cream scraps of cardstock. Using Karen Burniston’s Fun Flowers die set, cut out and assemble four sets of flowers in different colors. Cut nine stems of leaves.Cut and decorate two butterflies.

Sentiments: On the card front the newspaper Celebration Times is from the Concord & 9th Happy Headlines stamp set.I printed a generic head shot as a placeholder for the photo of the individual that the card will go to. Inside, the “Happy Birthday is from the Karen Burniston Birthday/Belated stamp set and the “Eat Cake First” is from Fun Stampers Journey’s Birthday Bash set. The white label for a personal message was cut using Karen Burniston’s Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set.

Junk Journal Folio Pop-Up Card

Wanting to make a project with the Graphic 45 Curiouser & Curiouser paper collection, I used the new Karen Burniston Photo Gallery Pop-Up die set along with her previously released Waterfall Card dies to make this Alice in Wonderland themed junk journal folio card.

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

Cardbase: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Cut a 5×12-inch rectangle from double-sided cardstock. Cut another rectangle at 5×7 1/4-inches from the same cardstock. Score both pieces at 6 7/8-inches. Glue tab of short piece to long piece on the 7-inch side to form a 19-inches long trifold cardbase.

Waterfall Card Front: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) on the 5×12-inches cardbase piece, using the half-circle die in the Waterfall Card set, cut the thumb hole in the center of the fold. Cut the waterfall pull strip and base piece from the same patterned cardstock, train the folds and glue the smiley face tabs together. Centering the pull strip over the thumb hole, staple the base piece in place at the bottom corners.Cut four images from the double-sided papers so that they are 2 3/4-inches tall and less than 4-inches wide. Glue images to waterfall base as shown in the video. Attach the “pull” arrow rectangle die cut from the Waterfall Card set to the end of the pull strip.

Pocket Tags: Cut one or two images to be tags for the second cardbase panel (My images are 3 3/4×5-inches and 3 3/4×5 1/2-inches.) Punch holes and thread through ribbon as pull strings. Cut and decorate a 2 1/5×4 3/4-inch piece of the same cardstock as the cardbase and glue on three sides to make the tags’ pocket.

Photo Gallery Pop-Up: (Watch the video above for assembly instructions.) Using the Photo Gallery Pop-Up die set, cut two of the large gallery pieces matching the direction of the pattern paper so that when glued together the pattern is all going the same way. Cut the two triangle tabs from the same paper as the cardbase. Cut one of the smaller galley piece. From the patterned paper cut enough images to fit the two gallery pieces. (Note that many of my images stick up over the top edge of the gallery pieces.) Attach the gallery pieces as shown in the video above. Decorate the cardbase with extra images taking care to not cover folds or create catchpoints.

Envelope: This junk journal folio card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) envelope.

Thank You Pop-Up

Itโ€™s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burnistonโ€™s February 2026 Release of new dies and stamps.

Todayโ€™s card uses the new die sets of Thank You Lorna Add-Ons and the Stage Pop-Up as well as the previously released Lorna Label Pop-Up. Sentiments come from the new clear stamp sets called Thank You Phrases and Love You Phrases. The new dies and stamps will be available for order starting February 2, 2026.

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

Stage Pop-Up Base: Using the Stage Pop-Up die set, cut two of the largest die from patterned cardstock. From the same patterned cardstock, cut two of the stage-side strips.ย  After stamping and cutting the 6 decorator rectangles, glue them onto the front panels of the stage-side strips.ย  Assemble the stage platform as shown above in the video. (Below is what the completed card looks like when folded flat.)

Sentiments: The five sentiments were stamped in black ink on white cardstock and cut-out using the rectangle decorator dies from the Stage Pop-Up die set. Cut a sixth rectangle, but leave it blank to write a personal message. Use the short sentiments “For Being You,” “You’re The Best,” “For Everything” and “So Very Much” from the Thank You Phrases stamp set, and “Big Time” from Love You Phrases.

Lorna Label Thank You: Using the Thank You Lorna Add-Ons set, cut two of the large frame die from patterned paper and two sets of the words from red cardstock. From the Lorna Label Pop-Up die set, cut two of the large die from green. Glue the Thank You frames on to the green Lorna labels and adhere the letters. Add tape the the back of the Lorna Labels at the narrow bottom tip as shown in the video. Glue the green pieces back-to-back and trim off the excess flaps at the top and cut down the bottom base to fit in between the two stage halves as shown in the video.

To decorate, cut six of the leafy stems in the Thank You Lorna Add-Ons from green and glue onto the top of each of the stage sides. Cut two of the flowers in the set to add to the stage floor in front of the “Thank You.” (I used patterned paper that had daisies printed on it, so I did not use the flower center die from the set.)

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) size envelope with “Thank You” from Thank You Phrases stamped on the back flap.
