Birthday Photo Collage

I am slowly trying to catch up on sharing my cards and projects from the end of last year that I haven't had a chance to post. I actually completed a few back posts of my New Years and Christmas projects recently but decided to keep the publish date in the month of the actual holiday just to keep things in  chronological order. If interested just scroll back and they should come up.

The card I'm sharing today was the one I created and sent to our daughter last year for her birthday. 

I found some cute photo themed cutting files - "So Photogenic" and "Captured" - over at Little Scraps of Heaven that I thought would be perfect for photo collage pop up cards. The paper pieced teddy behind the poloroid frame is "Bentley Bear" from Marjorie Ann Designs.

I told myself I would try to make one of these fun photo collage pop up cards for everyone in my family who gets birthday cards from us because these are truly as much fun to make as I think they are to receive. I used Karen Burniston's Photo Collage Pop Up die kit for the mechanism and mini photo frames for this card.

Die cut words "love you" are from Karen Burniston's  "Pop and Swap" die set and shadowed happy birthday sentiment was created in Make the Cut using Miss Elizabeth font. Hard to see the sentiment behind the photos. It reads " Happy Birthday to the little girl who has grown up to become such a beautiful woman. Thank you for  filling our hearts with so much joy and love and wonderful memories!"
