Little Princess Birthday

For my cousin's grandaughter's first birthday, I decided I wanted to try a Sliding Pop-Up Card like the one I first saw posted by Patti of Creations by Patti. I had tried the pop up mechanism on this card as an embellishment on my Valentine treat boxes back in February, but didn't have a chance to try it on a card till now.

Pulling on the tab on the bottom of the card reveals the hidden birthday greeting and at the same time, makes the top part of the card "pop-up" perpendicular to the base card.

The princess and her castle are cuts from the Once Upon A Princess cartridge, and the label for the sentiment is from the Home Accents cartridge.Corner accents were cut with a die from the Cuttlebug Vintage corners set. Really like that this pop up card is fairly simple and pretty quick to put together. You can find the easy to follow tutorial by Kim Score over at Splitcoast Stampers. Also be sure to check out Kim Score's blog, Paper Punch Addiction for lots of neat cards she's created using this pop up technique.
