Birthday Card with Leftovers

I had some leftover paper pieces from some birthday cards I made last month, as well as burgundy card stock scraps from the same project. So I combined them here for a card I can donate to my Mom's old nursing home.  The Happy Birthday & shadow (by Karen Burniston) was popped up with foam tape for a little dimension.

Below is a peek at the inside - quick and easy and no more leftover pieces.  😊

Supplies used:

Leftover patterned paper, Prairie Hill, Pink Paislee (old)

Princess Pop-Up Birthday Card

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! Today I'm sharing the pop-up card I made for our granddaughter's birthday. I haven't purchased any new stamps, dies, paper etc in the last year, instead going through and trying to use up some of my huge stash. This Disney themed paper I've had for several years so I pulled it out for her card. 

I added some Stickles glitter glue on the flowers etc, and added a little die cut cupcake and stamped sentiment banner on the front.

Inside, I used Karen Burniston's Raising Platform Pop-Up as well as her cupcake dies from the Cupcake Add-On set. Since I love sparkle on a birthday card, several of the pieces were die cut from rainbow holographic cardstock which really catches the light. 

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Disney Princess

5x7" Lacy Layers - Waffle Flower

5x7" card base and envelope 

Raising Platform Pop Up - Karen Burniston

Cupcake Add-Ons - Karen Burniston

Baking Borders - Karen Burniston

Rainbow Birthday Card

I needed to make a birthday card for our nephew's daughter, and this is what I came up with.  Similar to a set of four cards I shared last week (see HERE if interested), I used a the same layout and just leftover pieces of the patterned paper. I think I'm out of full 12 x 12" sheets in that pad now! 

The rainbow was fussy cut from a different sheet in the pad and popped up with foam tape. The Happy Birthday is from a set of rainbow coloured stickers (all say Happy Birthday) that I have been hoarding, so it was fun to USE one.

Here is a peek at the inside, with a sentiment that I think is cute for a little girl. 

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Over the Rainbow, Recollections (old, from my stash)

Happy Birthday clear stickers - Pebbles

5x7" card bases & envelopes

Banners Crosshatch - Karen Burniston

Happy Birthday Sentiments - Pink Fresh Studios

Slimline 'New Dog' Card

It's Masculine Card Monday here on my blog, and today I'm sharing the card I made for friends who welcomed a new dog into their family.

It was fun to pull out this bone shaped slimline die set (Whimsy Stamps) for their card. Slimline cards are hard to photograph in a normal square shape for social media, so in the photo below I inserted a pic of the inside, where we wrote our personal message.

Supplies used:

Slimline Dog Bone set - Whimsy Stamps

Patterned paper - Gilded Ink, Recollections

Words/Dog stamps - Dog Happiness, Frantic Stamper

Four Rainbow Birthday Cards

This is a cutting layout I came up with, to use two 12x12" patterned papers for four 5x7" cards.  Since I continue using what I already have in my craft room, this will be a great way to go through my huge stack of patterned papers!

I added a quick wash of colour on die cut banners, so the puffy owl stickers would be 'grounded', and stamped the sentiment along the top edge of the banner. The banners were popped up with foam tape for some dimension. Oh, and the patterned paper has random glittered areas so that's always fun for a birthday card.

Inside, I added two separate stamps in different colours, and a little fishtail banner to bring in some colour to the inside.

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Over the Rainbow, Recollections (old, from my stash)

5x7" card bases & envelopes

Trio of Birthday Cards

I thought I was done with this 6x6" patterned paper pad, but apparently I had set aside 'kits' to work on later 😂   Most of those 'kits' used the June 2021 Sheetload of Cards for cutting the patterned paper & the intended layout. Since I'm also trying to use what I have, I pulled out these old felt stickers and added them to the cards on a die cut oval. The sentiments were stamped on card stock strips & popped up with foam tape.

All three of these cards will be donated to my Mom's old nursing home and I believe there are three more 'kits' for me to make up. I have to work at building up my nursing home card stash again, as after delivering the last ones I'm fresh out! 

Supplies used:

                                        Sentiment inside - Birthday, Darkroom Door

Felt stickers - from my stash, very old.

Cactus Pop-Up Birthday Card

It's Masculine Card Monday here on my blog and today I'm sharing the birthday card I made for my brother, and I made it a pop-up using dies by Karen Burniston.  I love the add-on sets she has come up with for the Lorna Label Pop Up, and this Happy Birthday Add-On is getting a lot of use!

I haven't purchased any new crafting supplies for a year now, and am focusing on using up some of my huge stash. These stickers were in there, as well as the patterned paper - both several years old. In doing this, I have come across some stickers that have either completely lost their adhesive backing or are permanently adhered to their backing. They crack and tear when trying to remove them and ended up in the trash. Such a waste - if only I'd just used them when I bought them instead of 'hoarding' them or 'saving them for a special project'.

The cactus stickers were adhered to white card stock then fussy cut, which gives them stability and allows me to pop them up with foam tape. I also love how the black glossy card stock looks - it catches the light and just adds a little somethin' somethin'. 😊

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Prairie Hill, Pink Paislee (old)

Card and envelope - 5 x 6.5", Michaels (old)

Photo Fan Pop Up Birthday Card

I had SO much fun making this card and I couldn't wait to give it to my hubby for his birthday.  I used Karen Burniston's new Photo Fan Pop Up die set - actually all the dies I used on this card are hers. 🥰

We had been visiting Arizona, so I followed Karen Burniston's video instructions on having the collage photos printed at Walgreens. I don't know if we have the same options at photo places in Canada, but I'm going to have to check because ... how FUN!!  I kept the front nice and simple because all the fun is on the inside.

Ta Da!  Honestly, I looked at the dies and thought those little 1" photos would be almost invisible ... but nope - everyone is easily recognizable and each picture brought back such happy memories.

Needless to say, he loved his card. I haven't had much crafting time lately but I look forward to more playtime with this die set in the coming months.
