I have another Hexagonal Pop Up Card to share today. This one was created as a birthday card for a very sweet friend and decorated with partying teddy bears.
I used the Cottage Cutz Celebration Cake, Karen Burniston's Birthday Charms, Taylored Expressions' Celebration Confetti, and Craft Emporium's Stitched Balloons dies for the cake, balloons and confetti on the round panel in the center of this card.
Paper pieced teddies were cut using
Marjorie Ann Designs "Bently At The Beach" svg cutting file and the template for the Hexagonal Pop Up comes from the
Lori Whitlock Shop. I tweaked the template to increase the size to be as large as I could fit onto a 12x12 Silhouette mat.
On the backside of the pop up I added another bear, more confetti, presents, and a banner. Tiny cupcake was cut using an old EK Success punch.
Although the original cutfile I had purchased for this Hexagonal Pop Up Card was Christmas themed, I really like that I was able to easily make it larger and change the embellishments to convert it into a birthday card.
Pushing down on the center round panel collapses the card so it can be slid into an envelope. Flattened, the card is nearly 1/4 inch in thickness so I made a petal style box envelope for it. I added my sentiment to the trapezoid shaped panel which sits underneath the hexagonal base when the card is fully opened.
Then I used Cottage Cutz Tiered Cupcakes and Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday Border dies to make a matching gift card holder to enclose with the card.

You did a terrific job on this 3D teddy bear birthday card! I like all the added die cut embellishments like the confetti and cupcake. Your attention to detail is inspiring. I also like your color choices. Putting the message on the bottom of the platform is genius...much better than trying to write on the back of a 3D card. I truly enjoy seeing your photos and reading about your creative cards. Thank you for stirring my imagination!
