A Monsters’ Gallery of Birthday Fun!

| ullycatdesigns

Just a fun birthday card featuring monsters on a Karen Burniston Photo Fan Pop-Up.

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

Cardbase: Starting with a 5.5×8.5-inch rectangle of white cardstock folded in half to form a 4.25×5.5-inch side-fold A2 cardbase, the card was covered with colorful glassine paper inside and out. The inside panels were cut with the largest die in Karen Burniston’s Rectangles-Crosshatch set.

Monsters:  Monster Gallery stamp set is used as a front panel cut out as separate squares for the inside pop-up feature. The images were colored with watercolor pencils and then waterbrushed to even out the color.

Photo Fan Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the Photo Fan Pop-Up die.

Sentiments:  The inside sentiments of “Celebrate your big awesome super day” and “Happy Birthday to You” are from Karen Burniston’s Photo Memories stamp set. The “Monster Wishes” on the card front and “Monster Hugs” on the card back are from the Monster Gallery stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. On the back flap there is a “M” cut from scrap paper and glued there.

The Red Robin of Christmas

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #189 whose parameters included an A2 sized card using forest colours, elements starting with “H” and postage stamp(s) and/or cancellation mark(s).

I used Woodware’s Christmas Robin stamp set designed by Francoise Read as well as her Christmas Postmarks set for this A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) side-fold card with matching envelope.

The robin image was stamped on green cardstock with watermark ink and heat embossed with clear powder. I stamped a second image on white cardstock and heat embossed it with red powder. The red image, I fussy cut leaving the cancellation marks attached to the robin’s leg. The “R” tag I cut out and popped-up with foam squares as well as tying a red string to it.

The red robin was glued over the green one and red Nuvo Drops were used to add dimension to the berries.

The green card front was mounted on a fern and white flower printed paper before being attached to the kraft cardstock cardbase.

The sentiment included in the robin stamp set of “Wishing you a wonderful Christmas full of joy,” was stamped in black inside the card with a snowflake.

Christmas Postmark stamps were inked in green ink to the card back and envelope flap.
