Pop-Up Twist Birthday Wish Card

Today I'd like to here to present a pop-up twist card featuring two of my favorite product combinations - beautiful fun papers from Maja Design in Sweden and wonderful Creative Embellishments chipboard.

Since this card is a pop-up twist card, it's a bit of a surprise when it's opened.  Add on the chipboard and it's a real birthday treat complete with birthday cupcake. adding charm.

Here are the Creative Embellishments chipboard pieces I used on the cover of the card.

Flourish Dragonflies

Small Sentiment Words

What I especially love about the Small Sentiment Words chipboard set is the variety of sentiments and the number of cards, projects you can create with just one set.  Such a value.

Here is a close up of the front of the card.  I simply painted the chipboard pieces white to pop when added to the bright red Maja Design papers.

I have used  Maja Design's "Life in the Country" collection on my card. The collection is bright and happy and feels like a sunny day.  That is exactly the feeling one should have when opening a birthday card.  Well that's the feeling I like to have.  

These are the papers I chose: 

In My Flower Bed (both A&B side of paper)

Summer Kitchen (both A&B side of paper)

Strawberries with Ice

As I mentioned, this pop-up twist card offers some surprises. 

These are the Creative Embellishments  chipboard and veneer pieces that I used as little surprises on the inside of the card.  I tend to keep the chipboard simple with ink and paint.  Nothing too fancy.  

Heart Balloon Set

Cupcakes

Veneer Conversation Hearts

The pop-up twist die is from Karen Burniston's die collections.

Amazing Embellishments for Fabulous Birthday Cards

 I like keeping my supply of birthday cards well stocked because I enjoy giving the cards but I'm not so good about keeping an organized list of upcoming family birthdays.  That means I have to scramble to make a card.  Well, that's just not practical.  I'd prefer to be at least prepared with the cards. 

Creative Embellishments has the perfect chipboard pieces for birthdays and any other occasion you can imagine.  

My first card has a bit of a vintage vibe.  The chipboard pieces used on this card are shown below. 

Creative Embellishments -Grapevine Heart Wreath ( scroll down to see my sizing note )

Creative Embellishments - Poinsettia Set (I used the twigs/greens on my card)

I am in nutty love with the Grapevine Heart Wreath.  While I just love heart shapes in general, this NEW design is gorgeous and delicate and large enough for a frame on a layout.  I lightly inked this heart using Distress ink in Vintage Photo.  

I used the twigs/greens from the Poinsettia Set as filler in my floral cluster.  They have also been inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 

Sizing Note for the Grapevine Heart Wreath

This heart comes in an original size of 6.5"w x 6"h.  

Card makers may need to order a custom size to be cut.  That's super easy!  As you are paying for your order, just add a note into the comments section of the order and Nicolle will be happy to accommodate.  

Don't let the size discourage you from ordering this totally divine piece. 

The stamped background and Birthday sentiment tag was created using the Spellbinders Oh Happy Day -Elegant 3D Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken  and a variety of Distress Inks stamped onto watercolor paper misted lightly with water.  

Below is an image of the background before adding embellishments.

I have a super quick (1 minute) video showing how I created the watercolor stamped background using Spellbinders Oh Happy Day stamp/die set.

Here is the link for the card featured in the video.  

Moving on to my second birthday card - the cupcake card.  

Featuring the most adorable chipboard cupcakes you will ever see!

I used the following chipboard pieces on this card and painted them with acrylic paints.  

Creative Embellishments - Cupcakes 2

Creative Embellishments - Small Sentiment Words

See what I mean about the darling cupcake chippies?  So many possibilities and you get 6 cupcakes in a set.  How adorable would these look on the front of a child's birthday invitation?  

 Thanks for sharing a piece of your day with me.
