Floral Twist Panel Pop Up Card

Here's a doggie themed card and gift card holder I made for my dear sister in law's birthday this year. Since her Shiba Inu "Sachi" and our Maltese "Polah" are such good pals that enjoy playing together, I wanted to showcase our pups' friendship on her card.
 

To create the paper pieced Maltese and Shiba Inu dogs for my card, I used dies from Marianne Design Eline's Puppies die set. I had the dogs peek out of an oval shaped frame that was cut using Spellbinders Elliptical Ovals and Nested Ovals dies. Four layers of the frame were cut and glued together for dimension. 

Benson font was used to create the shadowed "Happy Birthday" and "Celebrate" sentiments in Make the Cut design program. I used multiple Spellbinders floral dies: "Be Bold Blooms", "Mini Blooms and Sprigs", "Sealed Blooms" and a Karen Burnison die: "Fence Add Ons" for all the flowers and foliage on this card. Then, for some fun sparkle,  flat back clear dew drops were glued on to the front of the card.

On the inside, I used the mechanism from  Karen Burniston's "Little Twist Panel Pop Up" die set to create a fun floral pop up.

Colorful party hats for the pups were cut using "Party Puppy" die set from Cottage Cutz. 

I couldn't resist making another one of those fun pop up gift card holders I enjoy making so much using Karen Burniston's "Slider Box" and "Surprise Cube Pop Up" dies. Definitely making these for everybody, lol!
