Baking Cookies Ornament 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 ornament card with a baking theme. To the Stage Pop-Up I added the Oven Pop-Up along with the Christmas Trees Pop Stand, the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-Ons and the Party Stage Add-Ons.

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 from the Stage Pop-Up die set in green and two scalloped side pieces from the Party Stage Add-Ons set from decorative cardstock. Cut one decorative rectangle 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. Cut a rectangle to be glued between the two stage base pieces. (I used the 2.4×3.7-inch die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch set.)

Oven Pop-Up: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked pages for Oven Pop-Up and the video above for alterations to the installation of the oven.) Cut two main oven pieces from black metallic cardstock. Trim one down to just the front with door. Cut a 1 3/8-inch square of clear acetate and sand which between the two oven doors using narrow double-sided tape. Cut one base piece from black metallic cardstock and trim off triangular sides as shown in video above. Add decorative rack, cookie tray, cookies, spatula, oven mitt, stove burners and knobs. Add to stage base as shown in video above.

Christmas Tree: From the Christmas Trees Pop Stand, cut one of the large tree die from green cardstock and another from decorative cardstock. Taking the inside tree of decorative paper and tape it from the back to a green tree frame. Glue the extra tree pieces to the back of the taped one to form a double sided tree. Add gingerbread cookies to tree that are cut from the Oven Pop-Up set and decorated with a white gel pen. Cut a pail from red using the pail from the Adirondack Chair Pop-Up set. Glue tree inside the pail’s edge. (Watch installment of tree in video above.)

Sentiments: The tree sentiment “Baked with love” is from the Sweet Treats stamp set and stamped on the white rectangle decorator piece with brown ink. The bottom stamped sentiments come from Christmas Wishes and Sweet Treats stamp sets. “Merry Christmas” is die cut using the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-Ons with the base piece cut twice from red decorative paper and the letters cut once from green cardstock. (Watch the video above to see how the die-cut sentiment is installed. For an assembly video of the Lorna Add-ons click here and watch video at the bottom of the linked page.)

Envelope: The card is about 6 1/4 x 6 1/4-inches so it would require a custom made envelope or, if the striped wall piece was shortened by 1/4-inch, it would fit into a catalog envelope of 6×9-inches.

Pop-Up Gingerbread Ornament Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team April 2026 Challenge whose theme is Set The Stage – using the new Stage Pop-Up die sets. I added the Tiny House Pop-Up with the Gingerbread Tiny House Add-Ons, Christmas Borders 1 and the Party Stage Add-Ons to make this cute Christmas ornament 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 from the Stage Pop-Up die set and two scalloped side pieces from the Party Stage Add-Ons set. Cut one decorative rectangle from the Stage Pop-Up set. Cut two of the base polygon decorative pieces from white cardstock from the same set. Save the white pieces to be stamped with a sentiments before gluing to the bottom and side of the stage base.

Tiny House Gingerbread Pop-Up: (Watch the assembly videoes at the bottom of the linked pages for Tiny House Pop-Up and Gingerbread Tiny House Add-Ons.) Cut one house base from white, one roof and one door from brown using the Tiny House Pop-Up die set. Cut the two scalloped gingerbread house pieces twice from brown and five windows, two lattice roof pieces and one door rectangle from white using the Gingerbread Tiny House Add-Ons die set. With a glitter gloss brush marker, add shimmer to the edges of the white house piece (see video above) and to all the white window and door pieces. Assemble with glue as shown in the videos. The gingerbread-men are cut from the Christmas Borders 1 from brown cardstock with the features inked in using the stencil feature in the die with a white gel pen.The Candy Canes by the door comes from the Gingerbread Tiny House Add-Ons set with the red pieces cut from cardstock covered with clear packing tape to get some shine. The two different sized peppermint decorations are polymer clay embellishments that come with adhesive on their backs. The roof was the first piece assembled with the white lattice pieces glued on and then the strawberry Nuvo Jewel Drops added and allowed to dry for several hours before the roof was glued onto the house.

Sentiments: The side sentiment “Baked with love” is from the Sweet Treats stamp set and stamped on the white rectangle decorator piece with black ink. On the bottom side of the Stage Pop-Up, I stamped on the two white decorator panels with “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” from the the Season of Cheer stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into 5×7-inches A7 size envelope decorated with some gingerbread-men from the Christmas Borders 1 die set. .

Haunted Home Dome

| ullycatdesigns

What do you get when you cross a snowglobe with a haunted house?  A Haunted Home Dome!

This cute small Halloween card is also a Halloween decoration. The dies to make the dome are all from Memory Box. The Snowglobe Backer is the base which all four layers are glued to and needs to be cut from a sturdy cardstock. The sky background is also part of the earlier snowglobe release. The front three layers are part of the newer dome release. The tiny ghosts, bats and pumpkins are all from the Haunted Entrance Dome set.

I used patterned paper for all the layers except the backer which is a heavy weight black cardstock. The Radiant die cuts out the sky section which I taped on the backside into its frame and then glued the black backer pieces to it. Using glitter ink pens by Spectrum Noir, I colored in the night sky leaving a hazy yellow moon for the bats to fly in front of for contrast.

Each of the layers has a tab at the bottom that is folded back and glued onto the backer base flap. The front fold of the backer, I trimmed down to show more of the iron fence.

The tiny ghosts are cut from white glitter cardstock while the pumpkins are cut from orange cardstock and then colored with glitter ink pens. These tiny elements are glued onto the various layers to add depth and dimension to the open card. I used a white gel pen to highlight the tiny embossed cut features of the haunted house layer.

The die-cut “Happy Halloween” is from Karen Burniston and colored with glitter ink pens as well before being glued on to the card. (I find a fine-tipped glue bottle makes the gluing process of these tiny intricate sentiments easier.)

A piece of spider ribbon from my stash holds the top of the dome layers together. (I found it is better to tie the ribbon as a loop rather than at the hole, so that the card and easily open and close.)

A personalized message can be added to the back using a white gel pen.

The card will fit into an A2 size envelope, but I used a mini-slimline envelope. The back of the envelope is stamped with “Spooky Halloween” using a bat to hint at what is inside.
