Pop-Up Birthday Card Duo



Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! As I continue to pick away at using up my stash, I pulled out this older Paper Pumpkin kit to make a pair of pop-up birthday cards. The card bases in the kit are printed on the front and back, so I cut one apart to get two card fronts. After mounting the printed card panels to white card bases, I stamped a bird onto the panel and the sentiment onto a white fishtail banner. The purple vellum and the sequins were included in the kit.



Inside, I used Karen Burniston’s Twist Flower Pop-Up, which I have really been enjoying. The sentiment was stamped onto a white stitched circle, and after stamping the bird in the upper right corner of the card I stamped it again - without reinking - below the sentiment. Then the circle was adhered to the Twist Flower mechanism. 

I added a leftover patterned strip (from a different set of cards) to bring some more of the pretty scene inside the card then added a sequin to the sentiment and a second bird stamp at the bottom right corner.
