Party Cat Pop-Up Birthday Card

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and today I'm sharing the Pop-Up card I made for a friend's birthday. She is a cat lover, so I pulled out this 'Be A Cat' die from Waffle Flower then went rooting around in my older patterned papers to decide what I wanted to use.

I added a die cut party hat to the cat and had her 'holding' onto the stitched rectangle with a stamped Happy Birthday. I really had fun making this one!

Inside I used Karen Burniston's Postage Pop Up die set, which has a completely generic mechanism. My favourite kind! Instead of the included postage themed dies, I added a stamped & die cut circle to the mechanism.

Be A Cat dies - Waffle Flower

Patterned Paper, Blank Canvas - 1st Edition Papers (old, from my stash)

Santa Mail Pop Up

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! Today I'm sharing a Christmas card made using Karen Burniston's new Postage Pop Up die set and older papers from my stash.

I was tickled at how well the papers work with the theme, as I've had them for a couple of years. I was just flipping through the remaining papers in the 6x6" package and saw these ones in there. Serendipity 😊

Here is a close up of the postage part of the pop up. The mechanism is completely generic and can be used to pop up all kinds of things, but since the postage theme is so hot right now - I used the included decorator dies and her coordinating stamps to complete the card.

Our Canada Post strike is 'over' - after over 4 weeks of no mail service - but I have decided not to send out our Canadian Christmas cards. With the backlog of mail they have in the system already, and grumpy workers forced back to work ... I'm not taking the chance. Plus, I don't want people to receive their holiday cards towards the end of January. Instead I will send out some Happy New Year cards and will send out extra Valentine's. The cards I made for this year will be sent out next year 

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Letters To Santa (6x6"), Cartabella

Postage Pop Up - Karen Burniston

Season of Cheer stamps - Karen Burniston

Special Delivery stamps - Karen Burniston

Postage Themed Pop Up Card

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog!  Today I'm sharing the birthday card I made for our Great Nephew and I used Karen Burniston's Postage Pop up for the inside.

It's a quick and easy pop up to assemble and you can use it as a base for all kinds of things, not just the included cool postage dies. I also used three of her new stamp sets as well - I love that they are sized perfectly for those spaces.

It's hard to see in the photo's but the black postage 'base' was cut from glossy card stock and I like the shine that gives. This was my first play with the die set, and I probably should have watched KB's assembly video first. The little paper airplane actually folds - which I should have known it would, I mean - she thinks of everything - but I sort of creased mine on the folds and added a light pencil line in those folds.
