Having just received the new Waffle Flower Cake Time Texture die and stencil set, I decide to make a batch of birthday cards.

I used purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) plaid cardbases with white envelopes to start.
CARD

Front
- Taking an 8.5×11-inch sheet of cream cardstock and cut into four 4.25×5.5-inch panels (I used 100 lb cardstock.)
- Die-cut two of the panels in the center of panel with the texture die

- Emboss the remaining panels using die-cutting machine’s embossing sandwich to emboss the die into the cardstock (I like the texture this gives to the panel, but it was harder to line-up the stencils.)

- Using the five layered stencils, color the image with ink (I used a blue/orange/yellow color palette.)
- Trim off the panel edges to the embossed die edge
- Adhere to the center of card fronts (I used double-sided tape.)
- Add black sentiment strips to front

Inside
- Die-cut four mechanism arms using Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Up L-shaped die from cream colored cardstock (I used 65 lb weight cardstock.)
- Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked page for the Katherine Label Pop-Up
- Die-cut from white cardstock four of Karen Burniston’s Happy Birthday Shadows
- Die-cut from blue cardstock four of Karen Burniston’s Happy Birthday
- Glue the words to shadow
- Stamp the verse from the Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01 inside the cardbase just below the center of the panel
- Glue in the pop-up mechanism
- Attach the “Happy Birthday” to the box pop-up making sure there are no catchpoints and that the sentiment stays inside the card when closed
- Add glitter gloss to “Happy Birthday” and the word Glitter in the stamped verse

ENVELOPE
- Stencil the envelope flap with the pennant using similar colors to the card
- Stamp “HBD” over the stenciling using the Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01
