Lighthouse Card

When it's not a stamp and not a die cut, what is it? It's an OUTLINE STICKER! I crated this porject for a card swap. I love the way it turned out . . . and there's twelve more stickers that I can use for future nautical, By the Sea, and Sun on the Beach projects. Here's what i used to create this card:

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

The Card

I’ve been planning to do this project ever since I added the Elizabeth Craft - Karen Burniston dies to our inventory. It’s a relatively easy project to do. I cut the “pop-up” part out of both print and solid cardstocks. I decided it was easier to you the print cardstock as my base and to cut the solid in half to serve as my sky background. I cut a 2” wide piece of black cardstock and folded to create the card’s outer spine (not shown). I used the “cloud shapes” and flowers from the All Season’s Tree die. The Katy Label die is optional, but serves as an ideal spot to share your personal signature or comments. I colored the birds with my Copic markers and used Tombow adhesive to stick everything together. One final note: I could find plain twine, so I colored red-and-white string with B100 black to convert it to a “black” twine. I love doing more with less.

This card took less than a half hour to make thanks to the simplicity of Sizzix die 659173. The cardstocks and paper came from my stash. I have several dozen pre-cut and pre-glittered cupcakes in my stash, so I pulled a couple of those to color with the colors noted above. “Birthday Wishes” came from my Sparkle N Sprinkle stamp set 402. I stamped the image with Memento ME607 - Nautical Blue. I made this card for my product sample board.
