Slimline Wiper Birthday Card


Today I'm sharing the 4th card in my monthly series: Throwback Fun Folds using a Wiper die set by Lynda Kanase at iCrafter. When they first started out I was on their Design Team and I loved their Wiper dies - this one is the Hello Sunshine Wiper Insert. It is still available, which is great as a lot of my older fun fold dies are long retired. Back then I was also tickled that they can work in a Slimline card so that is what I did today. 




This birthday card was made for a grandson who loves Pop Up cards. He was disappointed that his St. Patrick's Day card didn't have a pop up inside, so I made sure his birthday card did. 😊 I added the Gus & Gertie stamps (Taylored Expressions) because I just love them and haven't used them nearly enough.

Below is a peek at the inside and the dog/balloons slide up from the left with the clouds sliding up from the right as the card is opened.


I added Karen Burniston's Celebrate to the front of the insert piece and stamped the sentiment off to the left. The balloons and dog noses are nice and shiny with a Nuvo Glaze coating.


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally. 

Card Tally for 2023
January - 53 cards
February - 56 cards
March - 55 Cards
April so far - 15 Cards

Additional Supplies:
Alcohol markers
White cardstock
Dark teal cardstock
Cloud patterned paper - Flea Market, Doodlebug Designs (from my stash)
