Small Quilt Themed Pop-Up Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #267whose parameters included a 4 Bar card, craft store colors, se(s)/(ing)/sewn element, and stencil. I made a birthday card using dies by Karen Burniston and PinkFresh and sentiment stripes by Waffle Flower

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

Cardbase:  Score and fold a 7×5-inch piece of heavy white cardstock into 3.5×5-inch side fold card. 

Stenciled Quilt Top Background:  Follow directions in video to stencil the background. To create the stencils use 6×8.5-inch sheets of 100lb cardstock that have the stitched diamond die cut into the center of each of the four sheets. Using the stitch marks as your guide, cut the stencils using a craft knife and a metal straight edge or ruler.

Pop-up Twist Panel:  Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page. Stamp the quilt stamp onto medium weight cardstock. Die-cut the large mechanism from the Little Twist Panel Pop-Up set out of the stamped cardstock. Cut the panel from white cardstock. Cut decorative panels using the dies in set with your stamped cardstock.

Sewing Charms:  Assemble as directed in Karen’s assembly video located at the bottom of the linked page for the Sewing Charms.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.

Patchwork Birthday Pop-Up

| ullycatdesigns

Quilts are cozy and so is this patchwork pop-up birthday card.

This card uses newly released Karen Burniston Hexagon Crosshatch dies to create both the patchwork both inside and outside. It also uses the pop-up mechanism from the Oval Frames Pop-up set. The sewing charms finish the card with decorative elements.

I wanted to create the effect of a flapping fabric quilt on the inside when the card opens. Cheese cloth is the inside patchwork’s backing. Glue stiffened the piece, but it has some movement. A white gel pen was used to add the stitching and sentiment of “Happy Birthday!”

Baker’s twine was threaded through the buttons from the charm set. The buttons are popped-up on foam dots to allow for motion from the twine.

The outside of the card is covered with large crosshatch hexagons and the overhanging pieces are trimmed and the scraps are used to fill in the other half hexagon edges of the card.

The front sentiment is one I used on another card that uses “word surgery” to create the word “sewing”.

I like to decorate the back panel of my cards using elements from the card.

As with all my cards that are sent in an envelope, I decorated the back flap with a birthday sentiment and a note that it was made with love.
