A Halloween Pop-Up Fence Card

| ullycatdesigns

This Halloween card is based off a pop-up picket fence card that Karen Burniston made for her design team challenge for April 2025. (You can see her video here.)

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


Cardbase: Start with an 8.5 x 11-inch piece of patterned cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A9 (5.5×8.5-inch) card. Mark on the inside fold 4.75-inches up from the bottom edge.


Iron Fence: Cut two of the fence piece, using the Iron Fence Pop-Up die set, from heavy black cardstock. Watch the video below to see how to cut the two fence pieces into the gate, and the left and right fence pieces.


Pop-Up Mechanisms: Watch the assembly video above on how to cut-out, fold and attach the three mechanisms. Cut two of the Katherine Label Pop-Up L-shaped mechanism and one of the smallest angle pop-up from the Mini Pops Pop-Up die set.


Decorations: The Halloween Borders die set was use for all the outside decorative borders as well as the bats inside the card. The raven is from the Iron Fence Pop-Up die set. The hands are from the Halloween Elements die set.


Sentiments: “Boo!” on the card front is cut using the Halloween Elements die set while the “Happy Halloween” inside is from the Halloween Charms set.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inch) size envelope stamped with sentiments from the Queen & Co. stamp set. The cobwebs are from the Tim Holtz stamp set and the dancing skeleton is from Riley & Company.

Dancing Skeletons

| ullycatdesigns

“Stepping out with my baby!” coons Fred Astaire in his top hat and tails. “Putting on the Ritz!” the monster in Young Frankenstein moans with his top hat and stick. These were the sights and sounds that serve as the theme of this wedding anniversary card for a couple married close to Halloween.

The card brief was for some interactivity that was spooky (but not too spooky) and included the word “BOO!” as well as “Happy 15th Anniversary.”

Cardbase: Starting with an orange 8 1/2-inches wide by 7-inches tall rectangle folded in half for a top-fold, slimline cardbase of 3 1/2 -inches tall by 8 1/2-inches wide. The front and back panels of the card base has mats cut using the three crosshatch dies from Karen Burniston’s Long Rectangles – Crosshatch die set and papers from Graphic 45. They are glued together and then glued to the cardbase. (I found placing weights – stamping blocks or cell phone – on the mats to keep them flat as the glue dried very helpful.) The inside has a piece of white computer paper cut to 6 3/4 -inches tall by 8 1/4 -inches wide and folded in half before being adhered to the cardbase with thin double-sided tape.

Card Front: Using the Creative Expressions Skeletons by Sue Wilson cut two each of the three skeletons dies from thick white cardstock and glued them together. Die cut just the hats/heads from black glitter cardstock. Fussy cut the hats from the heads and glue them in place. Cover one side of the wobbler springs with patterned paper to match the center mat of the card front. Glue the skeletons onto the patterned paper side of the spring and allow the glue to dry before gluing the springs to the card front.

Sentiments: The sentiments come from two different Karen Burniston die sets – Halloween Elements and Word Set 12 – Anniversary. The numbers are The Greetery’s Cake Pops Number Candles die set and fussy cut of their tabs and flame. The “th” superscript is from Karen Burniston’s Numbers set. (I cut two “Boo!” from black glitter and orange cardstock and offset them to create a shadow. For the anniversary greeting I used one layer of orange foil cardstock.)

Envelope: Karen Burniston’s jack-o-lantern border decorates the back flap of the envelope. It is cut in two pieces – the top orange and the bottom full outline from black glitter cardstock.

Halloween Book

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #186 whose parameters included a dude card, library colors, large flower(s) and stitched.

These parameters suggested a book box with a pop-up surprise to me. I followed Nicki Baxley’s idea of using an embossing folder with flowers for the cover of the book and Mary Gunn’s idea of a 3D book.

Before the show, I had been experimenting with a new Stampin’ Up stamp and die bundle of skeletons so I had a number of heat embossed skeletons ready. I also had been playing with a Whimsey Stamps ATC Book die set.

Book Box: Watch this video to see how the book box is assembled. Next, die cut two book cover pieces from kraft cardstock along with one of the box base piece from kraft cardstock and another from textured black cardstock. Run over one book cover with an embossing folder and color the flower centers with a yellow marker. Then trim off the front embossed cover and glue it to the top of the other book cover piece. Stamp the book title sentiment onto the embossed book spine and trim it off to be glued onto the top of the other book cover piece. With Distress Ink, age the book cover along the edges, spine and over the embossed flowers. Use a thin brown marker to color stitch marks embossed into book cover and closure strap.

Assemble the kraft box base. Cut off the tabs of the black box base piece and then trim off the four side pieces. Glue the black base into the kraft box bottom and then glue in black side pieces. Stamp sentiments to inside of book cover. Glue box onto inside bottom panel of plain book cover piece.

Book Pages: Cut three pieces of white cardstock the same width as the end sides and then trim to fit the outside of the box. Glue the white strips to the outside edges of the box. With a fine tipped dark marker, draw thin lines on all the white strips to represent page edges.

Skeletons:  Stamp skeleton pieces onto black cardstock with watermark ink. Heat emboss with white detail embossing powder. Use dies to cut out pieces. Glue a jumping skeleton together. Cut an 11-inch by 1/4-inch strip of black cardstock. Fold strip in half and begin folding one strip end over the other to form a spring. Glue spring to the back of skeleton. Attach spring to inside of box. Add cat skeleton below the skeleton’s feet.

Sentiments: Stamp the “No Bones about it, you’re a sweet friend” sentiment on embossed book spine before gluing the piece onto book cover. Stamp the inside sentiments “Happy Halloween” and “BOO to you” before the box is glued inside the cover.

Where the Skeletons Live – Part 2

| ullycatdesigns

This special card was made for the October Halloween themed Karen Burniston Designer Team challenge.

When the wind goes “Woo!” and the leaves begin to stir, Halloween can’t be far off.  Last year I made a slimline Halloween card depicting a lonely cottage in the woods with a skeleton at the door. (Photo below) This year I have made the interior of the cottage.

Both cards use dies made by Karen Burniston. This year’s uses dies from her August 2022 release featuring a fireplace, skeletons, and mini-ball pop-up trapezoids, as well as, pattern plates of bats, spiders and webs.

Card Base: There are three pieces that need to be cut and assembled to make the card base. Lightweight to medium weight cardstock is ideal as there will be decorative papers glued to all sides of the card which will strengthen the base. Cut one piece 6×12 inches and fold at center into a 6×6 card. Cut two 6 x 6 1/4 inch squares. Score and fold 1/4 inch to make the squares into 6 x 6 inches. 

Cut nine decorative papers 6×6 inches to cover the inside and outside of the card. (Three of the same pattern for the inside walls and three of the same pattern for the outside walls, two of the inside floor and one for the Back of the card.)

Glue the thinnest of the papers that will cover the side squares and cut the windows into these pieces using the six-trapezoid cutting die from the Mini Ball Pop-up Double-Ups. Use the side panels to mark the location to cut the window in the thickest of the decorative papers. Glue all the decorative papers onto the side squares. Glue the flaps on to the top half of the folded card base. Glue the remaining decorative papers onto the card base. (I made a mistake when I glued the decorative bat pattern plate onto the orange back of the card and ended up with them upside down. The glue set before I noticed my mistake.)

Fireplace:  Watch the assembly video before assembling. Cut one of the fireplace fronts and a rectangle the size of the fireplace front. Emboss them both to show the bricks. Use a white crayon to highlight the bricks on both pieces. Trim the rectangle to be a 1/8 inch shorter on each side. Turn the rectangle upside down and glue to the back wall of the card base. Die cut and emboss one health/mantel in a stone color. Color the heath stone and glue to the floor of the card base. Glue the fireplace mechanism as directed in the assembly video to the fireplace back.

Die cut a partial patterned plate of spiders and webs of vellum. Separate some webs and spiders. To decorate the fireplace and other parts of the room. (I used some thin foam squares to make the mantel standout over a web.)

Floor Flap:  Take the remaining floor square of decorative paper and cut it in half. I had to match the pattern on my card’s floor. (Because I glued two pieces together, I was able to attach a ribbon loop to act as a pull tab for the floor flap.) The flap is cut to stop just at the fireplace heath. Use STRONG clear tape to attach the flap to the card base floor. (I made the mistake of using removable tape which broke when the card was being opened by the card recipient.)

Furniture:  Watch the assembly video for the furniture before assembling. (Once I had assembled the sofa and chair, used double-sided removable tape to find the best placement of the furniture on the floor flap so that when closed no parts of the furniture can be seen. Also, you may want to temporarily tape a skeleton to the back o the furniture as you figure out the placement of the furniture.)

Skeletons:  Cut nine whole skeletons and the heads of three more. Use the die as a stencil to color the skeletons faces with a fine-tipped black marker. Use the tiny accessories die sets to dress out the skeletons. For the seated skeletons, bend them at the hips. Glue an extra head piece to the back if the skeleton if the marker has bled through. Glue the seated skeletons to the pop-ups on the sofa and chair and the feet to the seat. You can raise an arm to the armrest as well. Glue other skeletons to walls, fireplace, window frames and backs of furniture. (I used double-sided, removable tape to do a layout of the skeletons before gluing them, to make sure they didn’t hinder any mechanism.)

Banner: The “Happy Halloween” banner is made from black glitter cardstock and thinner orange and yellow papers. The mini alphabet die set and the flag bunting from the Twist Panel Pop-Up die set are used to cut the banner pieces. Two strands of baker’s twine are threaded with the letters.

Envelope:  While the card is 6 x 6 inches, its thickness makes it too thick to fit into a stand envelope. An envelop was created from a 12 x12 inch sheet of double-sided paper from the Martha Stewart paper pad. The center point of each edge was marked in pencil, scored and folded using a metal straight edge.  The seams were glued and a Velco fastener covered with a flat back gem.

Halloween can be spooky and fun. Using the new Halloween themed dies along with the new fireplace pop-up and extras sets in the August 2022 release by Karen Burniston, made making this card fun from start to finish.

(Watch the assembly video before starting your card.) The pop-up fireplace is a bit different from other fireplace pop-ups that cut directly into the card base.  For this fireplace, the pop-up mechanism is a separate glue in piece that could be used with other covers than the fireplace. With two sets of fireplace and room decor accessories, making a cute room scene is a snap. The same die is used for the mantel and the heath. I cut them from brown and black cardstock respectively and used black ink on mantel to age it and a white shimmer watercolor crayon on the black hearth to similar slate. The white shimmer crayon was also used on the fireplace brick to highlight the embossed brick.

There are lots of great Halloween themed dies in this release. The large bat, skeleton, small pumpkins and bow tie cat are all from the Skeleton Bat set. (I cut the handles off the pumpkins and used one to make the bat smile.) The slim pattern plates were used on the front and back of the card. (I find that the weight of the front and back of the card need to be equal or the back heavier for the pop-up fireplace to work properly.) For the spiders and webs on the card front I used a pearlescent vellum. On the flurry of bats on the back, I used a white gel pen to dot eyes on all the bats.

To make the candles and clock on the mantel pop-up along with the planters, cat and skeleton on the floor stand up, I used the tiny pop-up strip from the fireplace set. When folded into a cube, the pop-up mechanism has a long side and a short side with allow you to have different dimensions for your objects on the mantel and floor. The Fireplace Extras 1 is Christmas themed. I used the candles from this set. Fireplace Extras 2 has more everyday items like the clock, planter, picture frames and fireplace fender or fence that I used. (I couldn’t resist putting some skeletons in the picture frames!)

If you notice the vellum spider web and dangling spider in the fireplace, they are from the previously released Halloween Scene set. I cut one of the dangling boots in the fireplace set down to use as a base to glue a piece of thread to and then the spider.

I used previously released sentiments for the card front and inside. “Boo!” is from Halloween Elements and the “Happy Halloween” is its own set.

The card was made with a 5×7 inch kraft card base that fits into an A7 kraft envelope stamped with my favorite dancing skeleton.

Where the Skeletons Live

| ullycatdesigns

Hello, it’s Sue from the Dies R Us design team and today we are making a slimline pop-up Halloween card.

You will need:

  • One lightweight white cardstock 8 3/4 inches x 3 7/8 inches
  • One lightweight white cardstock 9 inches x 3 7/8 inches scored and folded 1/4 inch from top
  • Two black spider web paper 8 3/4 inches x 3 7/8 inches
  • Two orange leaf paper 8 1/4 inches x 3 7/16 inches
  • One orange leaf paper8 3/4 inches x 3 7/8 inches
  • Two 1 1/2-inch circles
  • Cut from House & Fence Pop-Up set
    • One green patterned cardstock platform
    • Two black fences coated with clear gloss
    • Two path stones from gray or black inked with white
  • Cut from Holiday House Set
    • Two houses complete houses including roof, trim, windows and door (I cut the door from a skeleton paper. The orange and red papers had a shiny coating on them.)
  • Cut from Tree Pop-Up Set
    • Two trees from gray paper
    • One set of oak leaves from orange sparkle paper
  • Cut from Halloween Charms set
    • One Happy Halloween from black paper
    • Three blacks from Happy Halloween oval in black
    • Two spiders from black and use die stencils and white gel pen to ink in face
  • Cut from Winter Charms set
    • One large fir tree
    • One small fir tree
  • Save trimmed strips for additional decorations

Do a practice layout before adhering pieces to front panel (I decided I didn’t want the windows boarded up if the skeletons lived there.)

Use strong red double-sided tape on the platform tabs and on the top tab of longest white card base piece. See photo for exact location of tape. Adhere the longest card base to shorter base. The tab will be on the card back.

Use Scor-tape on the decorative paper panels, placing in one the backside of panel on all edges. To make the panels easier to position, peel back tape at all corners and fold backing paper so the tails stick out from edges as shown in the photos. Once positioned where you want press down corners and then peel off backing paper on each side and press don to adhere.

Once all layers of decorative papers have been adhered to cover all four sides of card base, place the platform on the bottom inside of card with taped edges just below the case base fold as shown in photo. Hold center tab down and peel off tape from it and the two platform tabs. Fold down card base top and adhere base to it. Fold down front tab of platform to desired position. Peel backing off tape and adhere to base. Platform should pop up when card is opened. Fold the two strips cut with platform die and glue into slots as shown in photo.

You can now decorate the card. Assemble houses as shown on packaging. Glue trees to inside top panel before gluing house to pop-up piece on platform. Glue fir trees to strips on platform. One of the orange circles is glued behind the Happy Halloween sentiment on the front. Trim fence to fit the edge of platform and bend back one section to be a gate. Trim off the gate’s “foot” as it will be a catching point when the card is opened and closed. It is easier to glue down the stone path before gluing on the fence.

The finished card will fit into a #10 business envelope. (I stamped the back of my envelope with a dancing skeleton.)

Hope this fun card has put a smile on your face and provided some inspiration for your crafting. 😊

Driving into a Spooky Sunset

| ullycatdesigns

Halloween in the USA often means corn mazes and pumpkin patches as well as dressing up on Halloween evening and going to a party. I have tried to combine these things into a single slimline sliding bridge-fold card.

This card was a second prototype for trying new methods and materials for me. This was my second attempt at ink blending a setting sun sky using Distress Inks and blending sponges, so not as spotty as my first attempt, but not as smoothly blended as I would like. I made a stencil for the sun using scrap card.

The base of the card is 8 1/2 inches (21.6 cm) tall by 9 inches (22.7 cm) wide and scored at 4.5 cm, 8 cm, 15 cm and 18.5 cm. I cut the top corners diagonally from 9 cm down to the 8 cm scoring and the 15 cm scoring.

The small ghosts and bats lurking on the inside panel are die-cut pieces – the bats from the Halloween Sunday Drive and the “Squeaker Ghosts” by Poppy Stamps.

I used the Hero Arts September 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit to stamp the layered image of a field of pumpkins with a corn filed in the background. The kit includes five mini cubes of ink needed to stamp each layer as well as the layered stamps and sentiment stamps. Dies to cut out a few of the images and several sheets of glitter paper round out the kits. (You need to order early the monthly kits as they sell out fast. Hero Arts is one of the few companies that lets you order a single kit without taking out a subscription.)

I stamped four of the images on white copy paper and layered the pumpkin field to create a taller background image. I knew I wanted a road going down the middle of the card, and I cut a road from brown cardstock.

The sliding bridge is a mechanism under the car that involves a capital I piece and two folded rings.

The rings are glued to the folded edges of the card base around the I piece. The end stops of the I piece were adhered behind the car’s wheel wells and tires with foam pads.

The car driven by a white glitter paper skeleton with a glow-in-the-dark pink haired witch with glow-the-the-dark green skin, is die cut suing Spellbinder’s Sunday Drive car die set with the Halloween Sunday Drive add-on set. The car body was cut from white cardstock and then covered with Black Soot Distress ink. The taillights are Nuvo Glow Drops Neon – Shocking Pink and silver matt cardstock. Two glitter cardstock die cut skulls are in the car’s luggage rack. The brown folded down roof is colored cardstock heat embossed with clear embossing powder to get a faux leather look. The shiny hat bands on the two hats are made with Nuvo Glow Drops Neon – Blue Crush.

The sentiment and stamps used on the envelope flap are all from the Hero Arts kit stamped in Memento tuxedo Black and the wheel in the Hero Arts brown ink cube.
