pop-up card

Thank You Pop-Up

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s February 2026 Release of new dies and stamps.

Today’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.  After stamping and cutting the 6 decorator rectangles, glue them onto the front panels of the stage-side strips.  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.

Peacock Pop-Up Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s February 2026 Release of new dies and stamps.

Today’s card uses the new die set of Peacock Add-Ons as well as the previously released Greeting Labels, Arch Pop-Up, Lorna Label Pop-Up and Border Blend – Trims sets. Sentiments come from the new clear stamp set called Strut Your Stuff. 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.

Cardbase: I used a 10×7-inch rectangle of purple cardstock scored and folded in half to form a 5×7-inch side fold A7 size cardbase. I covered the front and inside with 5×7 rectangles of embossed pink vellum. I used a square scrap of the vellum to decorate the back. Decorate with Border Blend – Trims and other leftover decoration bits as shown in video.

Peacock Pop-Up: Using the Arch Pop-Up set, cut one of the two arch pieces from purple cardstock. From the Peacock Add-Ons die set, cut the head and large fan-shaped pieces from purple. From the same die set, cut fourteen feathers, and fourteen of the feather’s “eye” decorations in three other colors than the feather. (I used four shades of blue/purple/pink mirror foil cardstock and a black permanent marker to color the foiled cardstock.) Cut the eye and peacock’s “crown” or corona from black cardstock. (I used some glitter black cardstock.) Eye highlights were added with a white gel pen. From yellow cardstock cut the feet and beak. Follow the video above and photos to assemble the pop-up peacock using ten of the feathers. (I cut a second set of pieces to make another head and used three of the feathers to make a flat peacock on the card front. The final feather I placed on the card back.)

Sentiments: The sentiments were stamped in black ink on white cardstock and cut out using the Greeting Labels die set. The inside label for “You were made to stand out” also uses a label die from the Lorna Label Pop-Up set to cut the black glitter label.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) size envelope with a tiny heart leftover from the feather decorations.

Pop-Up Ball Grasshopper and Box

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team January 2026 Challenge whose theme is BUGS.

I made a Bitty Ball sized pop-up grasshopper in a bug decorated box using the die sets – Bitty Ball Pop-Up, Animal Add-Ons 6, Bitty Ball Double-Ups, Bitty Ball Access Tabs, Bug Borders, Happily Ever After along with the Oval – Crosshatch and Circles – Crosshatch.

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

Box: Cut from 12×12 sheets of cardstock one 10-inch square and on 10.25-inch square. On a score board, score on all sides of each square at .5-inch and 1-inch. Cut the corners as shown in video above to form four tabs. Assemble the two box pieces as shown in the video and glue to the inside bottom an 8-inch square of decorative cardstock. Add another 8-inch square of decorative cardstock to the box lid. Decorate the box lid with the Bug Borders insects cut into individual insects. (I used the second largest Circles -Crosshatch die as a guild in the center of the box lid to aid in the symmetrical layout of the bugs.) Uses twine or ribbon to tie the box closed.

Sentiments: Cut from red paper “Happily Ever After” using the die set of the same name and glue to the underside of the box lid.

Grasshopper: (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked page for Bitty Ball Access Tabs.) Using the Bitty Ball Pop-Up, Bitty Ball Access Tabs and Bitty Ball Double-Ups die sets, cut enough pieces to make two pop-up balls. Assemble as show in the assembly video. (Hopefully you won’t have to replace the rubber band as I did, but think through the locations of the access tabs when you assemble your grasshopper, for easy access.) Cut the grasshopper legs, mouth and eye pieces using the Animal Add-Ons 6 die set. glue in place as shown in the video above. (Remember to not glue the top edge of the decorative panel under the eyes so you can slide the antenna under it and glue in place.)

Cut the two largest ovals from the Oval – Crosshatch die set from patterned cardstock and glue together. Glue the grasshopper onto the oval making sure that it is centered when open on the oval. Use a Velcro circles to attach the oval to the bottom inside of the box.

Double Z Baseball Retirement Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #299 whose parameters were: a double Z-fold card, Rudolph colors, optimistic element and plain circles. I used Karen Burniston dies and stamps as well as Waffle Flower dies and Graphic 45 stamps to create this card.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: Using a 4.25×11-inch sheet of tan cardstock, fold in half for a 4.25×5.5-inch cardbase. Fold the front flap in half again to form the z-fold. Using the second smallest crosshatch circle die in Karen Burniston’s Circles – Crosshatch die set, center the die over the front panel folded in half to cut through the two layers as shown in the video above. Save the two circles. Cut a half-inch by 11-inch long strip of the tan cardstock and fold in half. Fold one half of the strip again in half to make the second z-fold piece for the card. Stamp all the pieces as described below before assembling the card.

Baseball Equipment: Using the Graphic 45 Good Ol Sport set, stamp the baseball bat onto the long section of the 11-inch strip. Stamp one of the saved circles with the baseball stamp. From white cut out the largest circle in the Waffle Flower Stamps Baseball Dad die set. Cut the stitching from red. Glue the stitching onto the white circle to make it look like a baseball.

Sentiments: stamp “Happy Retirement” on the second save circle using Karen Burniston’s Fishing stamp set. From the Graphic 45 stamp set add “Good Ol’ Sport” to the bottom right corner of the card using black ink.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) size envelope with the back flap stamped with “Take me out to the ball game!” from the Graphic 45 stamp set.

What’s New Kitty Cat

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team December 2025 Challenge whose theme is SONG LYRICS. I made an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card using the new die and stamp sets – Playful Pop-Up, Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, Cat Borders, Greeting Labels and Cat Sayings along with other Karen Burniston dies.

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

Cardbase: I cut a 5.5×8.5-inch rectangle from orange 100lb. cardstock. Then I scored and folded in half to create a 4.25×5.5-inch A2 side-fold cardbase. Using the largest die in the Rectangles – Crosshatch die set, cut four panels of decorative paper to cover the four card panels. (I ended up cutting three panels and using a large scrap of the decorative paper for the card back.)

Sentiments: Word surgery (i.e. – Die cut words being cut apart and glued back together to form new words) was involved to make the custom words for this card’s front. “What’s” is made from the “W” from the Go Wild die set and the “hat” from the word “Christmas” in the Merry Christmas die set. “New” is from the Happy New Year die set. Word Set 4 -Just A Note used the words “up” and “to say” as well as the words “Blessings” and “color” from Word Set 7 – Autumn, to make the words “pussy cat.” The three “WHOA” inside used the Mini Alphabet and Numbers set.

The stamped sentiments “Happy Purr-thday” and “HOME is where the CAT is” are from the new stamp set Cat Sayings. They were stamped in black ink on white cardstock and die cut using the Greeting Labels and Hearts – Crosshatch die sets. Cut an oval for a personal message to go on the inside.

Paw Print Border: Using the Cat Borders die set, cut one paw print die from black cardstock and one paw back die from pink cardstock. glue the two pieces together. Trim border to fit the card front as shown in the photos and video. Use the extra paw prints to decorate inside the card.

Playful Pop-Up: Cut one of the large die, one of the face plate and one of the “K” shaped mechanism in the Playful Pop-Up set from black cardstock. Assemble as show in the video above.

Cat: Using the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons die set, cut from black, the large cat ears, paw arms, nose/mouth, and small oval eyes. From pink cardstock cut, the small cat ears, nose, tongue and paw back pieces. From white cardstock cut one set of large oval eyes and one set of whiskers. Assemble and install as show in the video. Use a white gel pen to add the eye and nose highlights. I

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope whose back flap was stamped “Hope your day is PURR-fect!” from the Cat Sayings stamp set.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card. (I apologize for the video quality. I was having some technical issues while recording it.)

Cardbase: I used a 12×12-inch sheet of dark pink cardstock folded in half and used the scalloped rectangle die from the Rectangles – Crosshatch set placed with one corner over the fold to get a diagonal opening card base. Cut two full scalloped rectangles from light pink cardstock and four smaller rectangles from flower patterned paper. Glue flower panels to the inside of the dark pink cardbase trimming of diagonal corners. Glue remaining two panels to light pink pieces. Assemble card as show in video.

From gray cardstock, cut the decorative notched square die in the Playful Pop-Up set, and from the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons, the paws, and large cat ears . From pink cardstock, cut two of the paw backing die, the small cat ears and tongue. From black, cut one nose-mouth piece and one set of small eyeballs. From white, cut one set of large eyeballs and whiskers. Follow the video above and photos to assemble.

Sentiments: The die-cut sentiments of Sending Love and the tiny hearts are from the die set of the same name. MEOW! is cut from light pink cardstock using the die of the same name. The shadows behind “Love” and MEOW! are cut from pink vellum. Pink sparkle heart embellishments finish the card front. “Big Hugs” is from the Cat Sayings stamp set. The labels are cut using dies from the Greeting Labels. The paw on the card back comes from MEOW!

Envelope: The card fits into an A6 (6 1/2×4 3/4-inches) size envelope.
