I’m back from my 2 month hiatus! Boy did I need it, but I’m also really excited to be back. I am starting my first project with a mix of old and new items. For the interactive card structure, I am using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Die Set<\/a><\/span> along with the MFT Grassy Hillside Die Set (retired, similar HERE)<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m making my nephew a fun pop up birthday card showcasing his newfound love of dogs. I used the quirky Waffle Flower Birthday Puppies Stamp Set<\/a><\/span> and Die Set<\/a><\/span> that features dogs with party hats and gifts as well as a pup from The My Favorite Things Friends at First Sip Stamp Set<\/a><\/span> that I altered to make look like his new Bichon puppy, Bobo, with a party hat.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the following Copic colors (I’m very rusty, so please excuse the messy coloring):
\nRed: R14, R17 and R29
\nPink: R20 and R22
\nBlue: B00, B01 and B02
\nYellow\/Orange: Y38 and YR07
\nGreen: YG07, YG09 and G17
\nCupcake candle and cake: Y38, R14, E22
\nPomeranian: E00, E11 and E13
\nBichon (Bobo): 0, W0 and W1
\nDachshund: E11, E13, E15 and E25
\nBlack and White Spotted Dog: W1, W4, and W7<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For the card base, I used basic green card stock that I picked up at Lidl for $2. For the decorative patterned papers, I used the\u00a0 Doodlebug Designs “Puppy Love”<\/a><\/span> and the DCWV “The Pets Stack” (retired but still carried by resellers, which you can find by Googling them). I had fun also cutting apart some of the sentiments from the Puppy Love papers to further embellish the card flaps. To help the sentiments and the grassy layers pop a bit more, I also blended on some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn<\/a><\/span> and Salty Ocean<\/a><\/span> on the edges.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I left the back panel straight (unfolded) and added a blue construction paper liner so I could write my note. But it seemed too plain, so I added a couple of extra sentiments from the cut apart sheet and then added puffy bone and puffy ball stickers from the Doodlebug Design Shape Sprinkles “Puppy Play” Sticker Set<\/a><\/span> to match the papers and add dimension and interest.<\/p>\n
