If you're thinking this Rectangle Pop Up Card looks familiar, you're absolutely correct. It's the almost exactly the same as the card I posted last week except that I swapped Hello Kitty with a kokeshi doll for this card.
I really liked the look of the Japanese torii gate with the cherry blossom tree behind it on last week's card but since this card would be for my mom (who isn't a big fan of Hello Kitty), I decided to use a paper pieced kokeshi doll image instead.
The cutting file for the kokeshi doll was one I created for a card I put together last year from clip art purchased on Etsy. I really love the time saved when I can re-use older cut files to make new projects!
Since I also had the cutting files for the torii gate and cherry blossom tree already made and sized, cutting and assembling this card was fairly quick. The template for the rectangle pop up base was purchased from the Lori Whitlock store.
The front panel of this card was decorated with tiny punched sakura and a hot foiled and cut "Happy Birthday" using Simon Hurley's hot foil plate and die. Then I added a computer generated sentiment to the back panel.
Here's a view of the card collapsed and flattened, ready to slide into an envelope. This rectangle pop up card is quickly becoming one of my favorite style of card.

Both versions of this card are fabulous! I can't decide which one I like better. Sweet!
