Pop-up Birthday Card

I've been wanting to give these pop-up birthday cards that everyone is doing, a try for a little while. I have 2 birthday's happening this week (not counting my own!), so I thought this would be the perfect time to try!

This is the second one I made (I will show you the first, after I have given it to the birthday girl), and I kept the embellishments fairly simple. I used the embellishments that came with the collection.

This card makes me happy to look at! It is so darn cheerful!

I even made a matching envelope. I love my envelope punch board!!

I used the tutorial for pop-up cards from Splitcoast Stampers. You can find it here if you would like to give it a try! And they really are very simple to make. I had the base for this second done in about 10 minutes. And that includes the time it took me to pick out the paper!

I used Echo Park's Summer Days collection to make this card. The papers, cardstock stickers, alphas and even the thicker cardboard stickers (sun and roller-coaster).
