Bob’s Tackle Box Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team July 2026 Challenge whose theme is BOX or BLOCKS. I chose to make a pop-up card in the form of a tackle box using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up mechanism.

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

Cardbase: I folded a 10×7-inch piece of cardstock in half to make a 5×7-inch top fold cardbase. Next, I rounded the corners with a large corner rounder punch. (You could also use scissors to round the corners.) I ended up using splatters of white, bronze and black paint to decorate the card front and back beside using brown ink to blend the card edges.

Handle: Using the rounded corner panel dies in the Twist Panel Pop-Up, cut a handle as shown in the video above and glue onto the front of the card.

Latch Mechanism: The latch is cut from the set using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up long strip die and trimming off the end with the slots. (Follow the instructions in the video above.) The lock comes from the Treasure Chest set. The “PULL” label was cut from silver using a die from the Waterfall Card die set. I used two thin magnets to close the latch.

Trays Pop-Up: (View die set’s assembly video by clicking on the die set and scrolling to the bottom of the linked page.) Inside the card two trays pop-up using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up. See the video above for how I installed it inside the the card using the latch strip. The top tray is made of two strips 2×6.625-inches of heavy cardstock covered with decorative paper. One piece has had four squares cut into it using a 1.4-inch square die from the Squares – Crosshatch set. The bottom tray is made from two strips 2.375×6.625-inches of heavy cardstock covered with decorative paper. One of the bottom tray pieces was cut with three rectangles using the pieces rectangle from the Waterfall Card set. Watch the video above for the assembly.

Fishing Lures: The Fishing Lure Charms were used for the lures. I followed the packaging pictures for how I made them. (If you want an explanation and tips for how to assemble the lures, view my video for Here Fishy, Fishy…A Father’s Day Card and watch the video above.)

Sentiments: The front sticker of “Gone Fishing” and the inside “Here Fishy, Fishy” are from the Fishing stamp set with the oval cut using the small oval in the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up. “Happy Birthday” inside the card uses Happy Birthday word die and its shadow die. “Bob’s Tackle Box” was written with a black marker as it might be written on a real box.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with “Every day is a good day when you’re fishing” stamped on the back flap from the Fishing stamp set.

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.

Just Popping Up To Say Happy Father’s Day

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team June 2026 Challenge whose theme is Flag Colors – using the colors of each designer’s national flag. For me it is red, white and blue. I choose to make a star themed Father’s Day card.

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

Cardbase: I folded a 6×9-inch piece of pattern cardstock in half to make a 4.5×6-inch side fold cardbase. Next, I added two 4.125 x 5.375- inch mats cut with the largest die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch set. I added a star from the Label Charm Pop-Up die set to the back of the card.

Flip Frame Pop-Up: Inside the card is a simple pop-up mechanism made using the Flip Frame Pop-Up die set. (View assembly video by clicking on the die set and scrolling to the bottom of the linked page.) See the video above for how I installed it.

Sentiments: The front sentiment of “Just Popping Up To Say” is cut from two die sets – Word Set 4 – Just a Note and Word Set 15 – Just Because. The inside sentiment uses both the shadow and words from the Happy Father’s Day set. The white personal message label is a stitch rectangle embossed with a scalloped die – both from the Flip Frame Pop-Up set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (4.75x 6.5-inches) size envelope with “Happy Father’s Day” stamped on the back flap from the Fishing stamp set.

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

Envelope: The card fits into a #10 business (4. x 9-inches) size envelope.

Father’s Day Card for a Navy Man

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a pop-up ship Father’s Day card full using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called The Royal Navy Heritage Collection.

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

Cardbase: From the The Royal Navy Heritage Collection digital paper collection, I printed single-sided 65lb. lightweight cardstock of the blue neckerchief design. (When the neckerchief is cut out, it makes a 5.25×7.5-inch side-fold card.) Next I printed out on cardstock the blue & white striped page, and the small waves on thin white paper. Using the Karen Burniston Rectangle and Labels – Crosshatch die set, I cut two large crosshatch rectangles from the striped cardstock and two smaller rectangles from the wave paper. The rectangles were glued inside the cardbase as shown in the video above.

Card Decorations: I printed on thin white paper, the images of the ships used on the front and the back of the card from the The Royal Navy Heritage Collection. The small tag on the back is also from the same collection.

Ship Pop-Up: I used the Karen Burniston’s 1277 – Boat Pop-Up and 1296 – Cruise Ship Add-Ons dies to create the gray pop-up naval ship. (Watch the video above for assembly.)

Sentiments: Karen Burniston dies sets of Thank You, Happy Father’s Day, Greeting Labels, Thank You Shadow and Mini Alphabet and Numbers were used for all the card sentiments.

Envelope:  The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) envelope with “Thank you for always being there” stamped on the back flap in navy ink using Karen Burniston’s Thank You Phrases stamp set.

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.

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.

Pop-Up Reindeer With Lights Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

I had so much fun making a gingerbread house ornament for the Karen Burniston Design Team April 2026 Challenge using the Stage Pop-Up die set, that I made another Stage Pop-Up Christmas card with the Snowman Pop-Up and Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons die sets. The twinkly lights sentiment from the Christmas Wishes stamp set made me think of adding Pear Blossom Press EZ Lights to the card.

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

Pop-Up Stage Base: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for Stage Pop-Up.) Cut two base pieces and two side pieces from the Stage Pop-Up die set from decorative cardstock. Cut three decorative rectangles from the Stage Pop-Up set in white. Cut two of the base polygon decorative pieces from white cardstock and two decorative papers. Save the white pieces to be stamped with a sentiments before gluing to the bottom and side of the stage base.

Reindeer Pop-Up: (Watch the assembly videos at the bottom of the linked pages for Snowman Pop-Up and Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons and the video above for alterations to the installation of the reindeer.) Cut from brown cardstock two set of the circle sides, one set of snowman body pieces, and one base strip from the Snowman Pop-Up. From the Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons set, cut one set of antlers, two sets of legs, one set of face pieces and one tail from brown cardstock. From white and black cardstock cut nose and eye pieces. Use the die stencil features to color leg hooves, and add highlights to eyes and nose. Assemble reindeer and add to stage base as shown in video above.

Lights: From the Penguin and Reindeer Snowman Add-Ons set, cut two sets of light bulbs from white and color with markers. Use one set of Pear Blossom Press EZ Lights which are available from the KB Riley on-line shop. (Watch the video above for how the lights were added to the reindeer.)

Sentiments: The bottom sentiment is stamped with brown ink and comes from Christmas Wishes as is the side “Merry Christmas.” the “Happy New Year” is from Season of Cheer.

Envelope: The card is about 5 3/4 x 6 1/4-inches so it fits into a catalog envelope of 6×9-inches with the Twinkly Lights sentiment stamped on its back flap.
