The Birthday Pop Up card is a Karen Burniston creation and is absolutely brilliant. I started with a 4.25” x 11” pink lemonade card base, scored it at the 5.5” and folded it over. I then took a 12” x 12” piece of American Craft’s Pebbles Peony Dot Cardstock and cut it to 4” x 11”. This is part of the Pebbles Basics collection and features a gingham print on one side and polka dots on the other

I limited my use to the gingham sides for this project. While the Pure Innocence overflowing joy has a Christmas sentiment on the stamp set, it lends itself for year round use with “overflowing joy” and “just for you” messages. I created the additional box on the front with scraps and topped it off with an Impression Obsession bow..

Another of my favorite pieces is the button border die from My Favorite Things. The card front design is strong enough to stand alone which makes the pop up birthday component just one more thing for a four-year-old to giggle about
