A Stellar Interactive Wheel Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s June 2025 release of ten new dies and five new clear stamps. For this interactive popping-up space alien birthday card I used the new Whirly Wheel die set.

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

Cardbase:  For the finished 5×7 side-fold card, I started with a pre-folded clear acetate (plastic) A7 (5×7-inch) card base and cut one 5.125×7.125-inch rectangle from gray cardstock, another 5.125×7.125-inch rectangle from bluish silver mirror cardstock. And finally, the card back of two pieces of heavy black cardstock -one 5.5 x7.125-inches and the other is cut using the second largest die (4.2×6.2-inches) in the Rectangles and Labels -Crosshatch die set for a mat. Watch the video above to see how I assembled the card from these pieces. Windows in card front were cut using the third and fourth smallest dies in the Oval – Crosshatch die set.

Space Background Panels:  The space backgrounds were created with mica sprays and an opaque white spray done in a spray box. (I had to test my mica sprays first as some of the colors had clogged since the last time I had used them. Ended up using green, fuchsia, red and blue over a white base coat. Not more than 2-3 squirts from each color.)

Space Ship with Alien:  Cut two sets of the pieces needed to make the ship and alien using the Space Charms die set.

Whirly Wheel:  Cut a 3.5×8.5-inch rectangle from 100 lb. gray cardstock and cover both sides with clear packing tape. Cut one wheel and one large thermometer using the Whirly Wheel die set from the taped piece of cardstock. Using stencil feature, ink on arrows on wheel (or use the Whirly Wheel Words stamp set to stamp the gray cardstock before adhering the tape, then tape and die cut.) Assemble wheel as shown in video above.

Cut thumb holes into the cardbase pieces as shown in the video using the half moon shaped die in the Whirly Wheel set.

Sentiments:  All the sentiments were stamped using Karen Burniston’s Birthday Belated and Popcorn Phrases stamp sets with black ink onto double stitched labels from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inches) size envelope.

RAINBOW connection pop-up birthday card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s June 2025 release of ten new dies and five new clear stamps. For this rainbow connection slimline birthday card, I used several of the new sets including Arch Pop-Up, Leaping Animals and Rainbow Add-Ons die sets and Rainbow Greetings stamp set.

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

Cardbase:  An 8×8.75-inch rectangle of white cardstock was scored and folded into a side-fold 4×8.75 size slimline card.  Thin decorative papers were used to cover the cardbase. The inside panels were cut using the largest die from the Long Rectangles – Crosshatch die set. (See video above for details on how they were cut and attached.)

Arch Pop-Up:  Cut out the two large arch dies in the Arch Pop-Up from solid 65-80lb. cardstock. Assemble as shown in the video above, adding the rainbow strips which were cut using double-sided adhesive tape. Attach the pop-up rainbow arch as shown in the video.

Frogs:  Cut four green, leaping frogs from the Leaping Animals die sets. Cut three green, sitting frogs from the Bayou Animals die set. With a white gel pen and frog dies as stencils, add spots and mouths to frogs. Using the eyes die from either animal set, cut four sets of eyes from white and stencil the black pupil of the eye and add a white gel pen dot onto them.

Sentiments:  All the sentiments were stamped using the Rainbow Greetings stamp set with in black ink. “Sprinkling a little Rainbow magic your way” and “Happy Birthday” were cut out using the smallest fancy label die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. Use the largest cloud die in the Rainbow Add-Ons set to cut out “Hello there.”

Envelope:  The card fits into #10 business (4.25x 9-inches) size envelope stamped with “Wishing you sunshine and rainbows” the back flap.

Here is a great reel on singing the Rainbow Connection song with Kermit – https://www.facebook.com/reel/531484342305953

Cowgirl Graduation Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s June 2025 release of ten new dies and five new clear stamps. For this cowgirl graduation card, I used several of the new sets including Leaping Animals, Movie Night Charms and Rainbow Add-Ons die sets and Movie Night stamp set.

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

Cardbase:  Cut a 5×7-inch A7 cardbase from brown kraft cardstock. (I used a purchased cardbase and envelope.) Cover the inside with decorative paper. Clouds and sun are cut using the Rainbow Add-Ons die set.

Pop-Up:  Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Stocking Pop-Up as well as the video above.

Horse and Fence:  Cut one tan unicorn body from the Leaping Animals die set and from dark brown cut the tail and mane pieces. (I cut three of the tan because my cardstock was less than 80lb weight.) Use the die stencil features to draw in the horse’s eye, mouth, nostril and hooves with a thin black marker. Cut one fence from heavy white cardstock using the Farm Edges die set. Glue fence to top edge of pop-up over piece and glue horse to inner pop-up tombstone piece.

Cowgirl:  Cut out one body, one hair style, one pair pants, one collared shirt, and one women’s short sleeved top from the Paper People die set. Cut one scarf bandana and two pair of cowboy hat and boots from the Tiny Accessories 3 set. (One set of hat and boots will be used on envelope.) I used a white brush marker to age the jeans and brown ink to age the hat and boots. The brown vest was made by cutting off the sleeves of the women’s top and cutting it up the middle. The front corners of each side were trimmed off to make a matching “v” similar to the neckline of the vest. The shirt and jeans were trimmed to fit under the vest. Boots were also trimmed to fit under the jeans. A piece of hemp cording was looped and glued together before adhering under the cowgirl’s hand.

Movie Elements:  Cut out of charcoal gray the film strip, film reel film and the clapper board “V” dies from the Movie Night Charms set. Cut the clapper board large base piece from white and color in the top “V” with red marker. Use thin black marker and die stencil feature to ink in the board’s lines. Cut one reel die from silver foil cardstock. Cut off all charm loops from clapper board and film reel. Assemble as shown in video above. Fill film strip with photos. (I used digital images that were resized on computer and printed on computer paper that was covered with clear packing tape.)

Sentiments:  All the sentiments were stamped using the Movie Night stamp set with in black ink. “Ooh, plot twist!” was cut out using the smallest oval die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. “Can’t wait to see what you do next!” and “Lights, Camera, Celebrate!” were cut out using the oval die in the Lorna Label Pop-Up set. “And the award for totally crushing it goes to…YOU!” was cut out using the smallest fancy label die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5x 9-inches) size envelope with a die cut a cowgirl hat and boots the back flap using the Tiny Accessories 3 set.

Going Wild for a Double Rainbow Birthday!

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day One of Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston’s June 2025 release of ten new dies and five new clear stamps. For this double rainbow birthday card, I used several of the new sets including Arch Pop-Up and Rainbow Add-Ons die sets and Rainbow Greetings stamp set. This card was also made using Craft Roulette #270’s parameters of an A7 card, 1980s colors, interjection!!!, and include an arch.

Cardbase:  I used an A7 (5×7-inch) purchased kraft cardbase and matching envelope. The front panel is covered with a 4.5×6.5 sheet of decorative paper.

Arch Pop-Up:  Cut out the two large arch dies in the Arch Pop-Up from solid 65-80lb. cardstock. Assemble the arch by gluing the two halves together and then adding the rainbow strips which were cut using double-sided adhesive tape and the Rainbow Add-Ons die set. Make a second arch. Trim off the bottom tabs of the second rainbow and fold the feet of the arch to form tabs of a similar size to what was cut-off. Glue the largest arch into the card first and add the second rainbow checking for catchpoints. Decorate with the rainbows with the sun and clouds in the Rainbow Add-Ons.

Animals:  The animals come from the previously released the Monkey and Lion and the Safari Animals die sets.

Sentiments:  Other than the die-cut “Go Wild!” all the sentiments were stamped using the Rainbow Greetings stamp set in black ink on white cardstock. Inside the card, “Wishing you sunshine and rainbows” was cut out using the smallest fancy label die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set with the larger crosshatch fancy label being used for the personal message label. On the card front, “Happy Birthday” was cut out using the oval die in the Lorna Label Pop-Up die set.

Envelope:  The card fits into A7 (5×7-inches) size envelope with the back flap covered with decorative paper.
