This card was created for our daughter who recently celebrated her 40th birthday. Wow, now that really makes me feel old! Decorated the front of her card with a paper pieced "Patches teddy bear" from Marjorie Ann Designs. Happy Birthday sentiment was hot foiled and die cut using Simon Hurley's "Birthday Bash Sentiments" from Spellbinders.
The flowers and leaves used on the front and inside of this card were cut from three of my favorite Spellbinders floral dies: "Mini Blooms and Sprigs", "Club Blooms" , and "Be Bold Blooms". Marianne Designs Collectables "Birthday Cake" and "Twine Circle" dies were used for the cake and lacy doily frame. The four candles (one for each decade!) were cut from Karen Burniston "Big Birthday Charms" die.
On the inside, I added the pop up mechanism from Karen Burniston "Little Twist Panel Pop Up" and covered it completely with flowers and leaves die cut using the Spellbinders floral dies.
As this card is opened, the folded bouquet of flowers inside pops forward, twists, and fans open. Always so much fun watching all the movement! Cutting file for the shadowed "Celebrate" sentiment was created using Benson font and cut from gold glitter cardstock. A very old Memory Box "Butterfly Delights" die was used to cut the very tiny butterflies scattered throughout.
This style of pop up card always takes a bit of extra time to assemble but it's always well worth the effort.
