Haunted Woods Pop-Up Halloween Card

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for October 2025 using the theme of PEEK-A-BOO!” – What is hiding in your card? I chose to make a Halloween card with a haunted woods using the Arch Pop-Up, Tree Pop-Up, Halloween Elements, Slim Pattern Plate – Spiders and Ovals- Crosshatch die sets and the new Halloween Phrases stamp set.

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

Cardbase: Start with a white, purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase. Covered the four panels with decorative papers.

Arch Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video (located at the bottom of the linked die set page) for the Arch Pop-Up. For details on how I decorated the arch with nine trees cut from the Tree Pop-Up die set, watch the video above. (Four of the trees are glued onto the arch side pop-ups and the remaining five are cut up for their branches which are glued onto the arch and the back pop-out strip. Orange leaves were cut also from the Tree Pop-Up set.)

Decorations: Three ghosts were cut from pearlescent vellum using the Halloween Elements dies. The dangling spider is made up of two spiders cut using the Slim Pattern Plate – Spiders. (You can use the spider from the Halloween Scene set as well.) Sandwich a piece of white thread between the two spider die cuts and tie onto back pop-out strip behind the arch.

Sentiments: Pearlescent vellum was using again to cut the “Boo!” (Halloween Elements) and the larger oval for a personal message (Ovals-Crosshatch). Graphic 45 Midnight Tales papers and ephemera are used for their sentiments on the card front and back. The “Happy Haunting” sentiment is from the newly released Halloween Phrases stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope with its back flap decorated with more of the Graphic 45 papers.

Pop-Up Mechanisms: Watch the assembly video above on how to cut-out, fold and attach the three mechanisms. Cut two of the Katherine Label Pop-Up L-shaped mechanism and one of the smallest angle pop-up from the Mini Pops Pop-Up die set.


Decorations: The Halloween Borders die set was use for all the outside decorative borders as well as the bats inside the card. The raven is from the Iron Fence Pop-Up die set. The hands are from the Halloween Elements die set.


Sentiments: “Boo!” on the card front is cut using the Halloween Elements die set while the “Happy Halloween” inside is from the Halloween Charms set.

Tipsy Teacups Birthday Card

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #284 whose parameters included a Funn fold card, birthday party colors, Maggie Smith element, and spiral (s) (ing). Today’s card uses The Greetery dies and stamps.

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

Cardbase:  I started with a 4.25×11-inch rectangle of 100lb white cardstock that was scored and folded at 5.5-inches and 9-inches to form an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) easel card.

Tipsy Teacups:  Watch the video above to see how the cups were created with stencils using pink ink and a gold marker. The tipsy mechanism is a strip with tracks cut into it for penny slider mechanism. I used Pear Blossom Press’s new Snap N’ Slide penny slider plastic pieces which are like snaps that you can use a glue dot to adhere to the back of the teacups.

Sentiments:  “Sip, Sip HOORAY! It’s your birthday” and Hopping your day is steeped in happiness” are both in the Brew-Tea-Ful Day stamp set. They are stamped onto striped, textured, thin cardstock cut with the larges and smallest of the A2 Stitched Scallops die set.

Envelope:  The back flap is stamped with “Life is Brew-TEA-ful” in brown ink.

Cardbase:  The cardbase is made from 65lb kraft colored cardstock cut into two pieces of 6×8-inch rectangles and one 4×6-inch rectangle. The two large pieces are scored at 4-inches along the 8=inch side to form two 4×6 side-fold cards. The 4×6-inch panel is scored along the short side at 1/4-inch to form a tab. Assemble the card base as shown in the video above. The two apertures were die cut using Karen Burniston’s Squares – Crosshatch set.

The moving tree branches are made with five or more of the fir branches from Karen Burniston’s Holiday Charms die set.

Decorations:  The Holiday Charms are used to create the double sided ornament and fir tree branch window decorations. Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection Snarky Cats Halloween stamp set was used for the cat.

Sentiments:  “I know right from wrong. Wrong is the fun one.” on the inside drop down panel hints at what’s to come. It was stamped using Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection Snarky Cats stamp set. Merry Christmas is a die cut using Karen Burniston’s Merry Christmas set.

Cardbase:  The cardbase is a 110 lb. cream cardstock 8.5×7.5-inch rectangle scored and fold in the center to make a 3.75x 8.5-inch top fold card. Three 3.5×8.25-inch rectangles of an orange patterned paper were used to cover the front and two inside panels of the card base. Two off-cut squares of the same paper was used to cover the cardbase back panel.

Triple Platform Pop-Ups:  Two Triple Platform Pop-Ups are what make the monster pictures pop-up as the card opens.  Watch the assembly video on the linked page. (Video is at the bottom of the linked page.) The base piece was cut from thin cream cardstock, while the trim pieces were cut from the orange paper used as the decorative panels on the card.

Monsters:  The monsters were stamped on a thin creamy cardstock in black and the colored and die cut using the rectangle base dies from the Photo Collage Pop-Up set. The frames were cut from the same die set using shimmer cardstock.

Sentiment:  “Beware: Monsters like birthday cake” was stamped in black from Picket Fence Studios You Creep Me Out set. “Happy Birthday” and its shadow are dies by Karen Burniston. The white stitched label is from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set. The slices of cake and streamers are from the Big Birthday Charms die set. The card back is stamped with “Inspired by Craft Roulette, made by” in blue ink on to a white rectangle from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set.

Bottom Fold Purse Pop-Up Birthday Card

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for August 2025 using the theme of bottom fold pop-up card. I chose to make a purse card using the Ovals – Crosshatch, Happy Birthday words & shadow, Dolled Up Charms, Bam Box Pop-Up and Display Helpers die sets as well as the Birthday Magic stamp set.

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

Place the largest Oval-Crosshatch die on the folded card with a tiny bit of the long edge of the oval die hanging off the folded edge. Die cut to have a shaped oval card base. Use the Display Helpers large paperclip die to cut the slots to thread the ribbon handles through as shown in the video above. Weave in the ribbon handles and clasp strip before gluing down the inside decorative ovals. (These ovals are the second largest dies in the Oval-Crosshatch set and are used to cover the ribbon raw edges and the clasp edge.)

Bam Box Pop-Up & Clasp: Watch the assembly video for the Bam Box Pop-Up. Cut out one of the Bam Box strip mechanism. Cut five of the decorative rectangles from paper matching the cardbase paper. Make Bam Box as show in the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page. Glue three of the decorative panels on to the Bam Box as shown in the video above. Glue the two remaining rectangles back to back and fold slightly off center to form the clasp. Glue clasp and Bam Box in as directed in the video above. Adhere two magnets using double-sided tape as shown in the video above. Stamp “Lift” on the front of the clasp using the Display Helpers stamp set.

Lipstick:  Using the Dolled Up Charms die set to cut out the four pieces of the lipstick tube from gold and red cardstock. Follow the directions in the video above and glue to the white oval cut with the third largest crosshatch die in the Oval-Crosshatch set.

Sentiments:  All the stamped sentiments come from the Birthday Magic stamp set and are stamped in black ink. The die-cut “Happy Birthday” uses the word die and its matching shadow die to make the pop-up Bam Box greeting.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with “You bring the Sparkle” on the back flap in black ink.
