Garden Fence Birthday Card!

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! If you follow Karen Burniston on YouTube then you may have seen her video on how to make the pop-up fence card that she created for the Designer Challenge last month. It was a beautiful card and I just loved how she came up with the neat way to utilize the Fence Add-On in this way. So I got out my craft supplies and got to work!

To start, I created a card base (12 x 5 inches) using Bazzill Basics yellow cardstock. I then dug through my stash of patterned paper and came across this bee themed paper from Echo Park called Bee Happy. I used two different pattern papers for the background. Then I followed Karen Burniston's fantastic how to video on YouTube (which you can see by clicking here) to learn how to use the Katherine Label Pop-Up mechanism and the Mini Pops to create the pop-up mechanism for this card. 

Once I had the pop-up mechanism installed, I added the fence using the Fence Add-On die set. I added some sunflowers and bushes using the flowers that come in the Fence Add-On. I also added grass using the Natures Edges die set. 

I wanted to add some trees, but the Tiny Trees were too small and the Tree Pop-Up too big, so I decided to try out my new stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Heart Tree. I stamped two trees using Pink Fresh Studios Detail Black Ink and colored them in with Copic markers. I also added some birds to my trees. 

I wanted to make some gardens in front of the fence, so I cut a piece of brown cardstock and added it to the front of the fence areas. Then I die cut the Blue Buttons flower die in the Fence Add-On from two different colors of green cardstock and glued them down to create foliage in my gardens. Then I added flowers from the Tree Pop-Up and the Tiny Trees Pop-Up die sets. 

I added a Happy Birthday sign to my gate using the new Bouquet Bits die set and the Bouquet Sayings stamp set. Lastly, I added a place to sign the card using a label from the Twist Panel Pop-Up die set. 

I went with the same theme on the front using the same patterned papers. I added the label from the Katherine Label Pop-Up die set and stamped a sentiment on to the front using the Special Delivery stamp set. 

I just love how you can use the different pop-up mechanisms in new and fun ways to create a totally different card! Be sure to check out Karen's video (linked above) and make your own Fence Pop-Up card!
