Good Bye 2024-Hello 2025!

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for December 2024 using the theme of “Happy New Year.” For this challenge I chose to make a top-fold A2 size card with pop-up fireworks and the sentiment “Happy New Year” on a wobble spring.

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

(Most of the instruction on how to make this card is in the video, but I’ve listed some measurements and sets used below.)

Card Back

Cardbase: Take an 11×4.25-inch rectangle and fold in half to create an A2 size top-fold card. Cover all four panels with decorative paper.

Pop-Up Fireworks: (I’ve used the double Katherine Label Pop-Up mechanism in these other cards – World Card Making Day Card, Flying By Pop-up Birthday Card, Interactive Money Holder Halloween Cards and Do What Brings You Joy.)

Sentiments: “Good Bye 2024” was made using four different sentiment die sets –Good Luck, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter and Mini Alphabet and Numbers. (See video for the word surgery used to create Good Bye.) “Happy New Year” has separate dies to cut out each word and a shadow die. I used four different foil and glitter cardstocks.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. To decorate, cover the back flap with matching card papers and stamp with the “Made with Love” from the Special Delivery stamp set. (I wasn’t paying attention and stamped the sentiment with the “Love” upside-down on my envelope.)

A Christmas Pop-Up Card – A Great White Shark

| ullycatdesigns

This card was inspired by a pun on the Bing Crosby classic “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” song. It uses dies by Karen Burniston and stamps by Riley and Company.

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

Cardbase:  Cut an 8.75 x7.5-inch rectangle of 65lb. white cardstock and score and fold in half to form an 8.75 x3.25-inch top-fold slimline card base. Cover using decorative papers.

Pop-Ups:  Watch the assembly videos for the Lorna Label Pop-Up and the Piano Keys Pop-Up by click on the links and looking for the videos at the bottom of each link’s page.

Decorations: For the musical notes and piano are from the Music Charms set while the shark inside is from the Sea Animals set. The shark border on the card back is from the Beach Borders set. The sharks were cut in white and colored with a gray marker.

Sentiments: The Lorna Add-Ons of  Merry Christmas and Just A Note were used along with the shark sentiments from Riley and Company.

Envelope:  The card will need to be mailed in a bubble wrap envelope because of its size and thickness.

World Card Making Day Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made to celebrate World Card Making Day and Craft Roulette episode #235 whose parameters were: not a single-fold A2 size card, mood board colors, world element and star.

I cased a card I had previously made and posted back on September 30, 2024 changing the patterned papers, scarf/steering wheel colors and adding a star to the plane’s tail. This card uses Simon Says Stamp! Stamptember with Riley & Company’s Fly By stamp set. (The Simon Says Stamp! Fly BY is sold out, but you can use this Riley & Co. Airplane Riley stamp set instead.) It also uses pop-up dies by Karen Burniston.

Watch the video to see how this card was made.

INSIDE: Plane and banner are interactive because they are on Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Ups. The plane moves left and the banner moves right as the card is opened. The window frames on the card front panel were created from dies in Karen Burniston’s Twist Panel Pop-Up.

SENTIMENTS are all from the Riley & Company’s Fly By stamp set. “Flying by to say…Happy Birthday” and “Life is a journey. Enjoy the flight.”

CARD BACK: Signature and Craft Roulette inspired for World Card Making Day stamp with aviator’s cap.

ENVELOPE: Card fits into an A7 5×7-inch envelope stamped with “Your plane awesome: and some clouds.
