Materials Used:
Dies
Karen Burniston in cahoots with Riley and Company – Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch – 1233
Karen Burniston in cahoots with Riley and Company – Little Twist Panel Pop-Up – 1232
This card was made using stamps and dies from the February 2025 Scrapbook and Cards With Love event. I designed this card before the event as a birthday card for someone who loves lavender.
Cardbase: I used a purchased A7 (5×7-inch) cardbase and envelope to create this layered floral card with positive vibes. The background of Lavender cardstock was cut with the scalloped edged rectangle from Karen Burniston’s Rectangles & Labels die set and covered with dots from a white gel pen.
Jar: Stamping the jar on a lightweight white cardstock I drew green stems in the jar with an alcohol marker and then inked in the jar using the stencil as a mask with a light green-blue ink. Again using the jar stencil, I covered the jar with a light coating of a glitter paste and let dry. Die cut out the jar once it is thoroughly dried.
Flowers: Stamp the floral bouquet onto lightweight white cardstock and color using the stencil set and sponge daubers to color with Distress Inks. Die cut out the bouquet.
Sentiments: Die cut the “You Shine” from dark purple and its shadow from white. Glue together. Stamp on the outside envelope flap “you have a way of making everything better just by being you” in black ink. Stamp the tiny trio of flowers in purple ink to match flowers on the card. Using the same purple ink to stamp “Happy Birthday” inside the card using the Craft Roulette sentiment stamp.
Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inch) envelope.

This birthday card was made for a crafty friend who likes nature and the Art Nouvo style.
Cardbase:I cut from a 12×12 sheet of single-sided patterned cardstock, a 7 x10-inch piece so that the design would be my decorative card front. The rectangle was folded in half to form a top-fold A7 (5×7-inch) size card. The remaining patterned cardstock was cut into rectangles to cover the inside of the card.
Butterfly Pop-Up Collage:Using the Karen Burniston Heart Collage Pop-Up die, cut of the mechanism from the scraps of the cardbase cardstock. (Follow the assembly video directions for installation of the mechanisms. Video is at the bottom of the linked die page.) Cut butterflies from scrapes of Graphic 45 decorative cardstock and glue onto mechanisms avoiding catch points as shown in the assembly video.
Sentiments:Karen Burniston’s Happy Birthday die was cut in white and glued to the front of the card. The Funn sentiment from Craft Roulette was stamped in black ink onto a decorative scalloped label cut and embossed using an Emily Moore Designs die. Glitter gloss was used on all the sentiments for some sparkle.
Envelope:The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope.

For this challenge I chose to make a birthday card for someone who enjoys reading. (You can see other bouquet pop-ups by clicking here.)
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: The card base is made from a lightweight white cardstock measuring 5.5×8.5-inches and folded in half to for a side fold A2 (5.5×4.25-inch) card. I covered all four panels with library themed papers from Stamperia.

Pop-Up: For the brown pot of fern-like seedlings is made with the Flower Pot Pop-Up die set. (Follow the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page.)
Decorations: Tea and books often go together and the Tea and Coffee Borders set has both teapots and teacups. The green picks that the sentiment and books are attached to come from the Bouquet Bits die set. The green foliage pieces come from the Flower Pot Add-ons set. The books and bookworm are all from the Bookworm set.
Sentiments: The square stamped sentiments use the Photo Memories stamp set and the square dies to cut them out from the Photo Fan Pop-Up.
