"Happy Brrrrthday" telescoping card

Click HERE for my blogiversary blog candy post.  Only a couple of days left to comment for a chance to win!   (I've added some stamps and a postcard kit to the pile!)


I saw this type of card a couple of weeks ago and decided to try to make one.  It's not hard at all.  After seeing one open HERE on Youtube, I tried it, and after a few tries with one or the other pieces upside down, I did it!!  I think they are so cute!!  The image on the front, the sentiment inside, and I put a place for signing on the last layer.  The sentiment tag on the front serves at the tab for opening.

90th birthday card -Mojo176

Monday came around and with it MojoMonday's sketch.  I had no clue what to make then got an email about my uncle's 90th birthday party.  I won't be able to attend, but I will send him a card, and I hope it makes him smile!  The outside is vintage (like he is!) but the inside is... look and see...

When you open it, this pops out...

 Remember making these in elementary school?  (folding 2 pcs of paper to make something pop out)

What I used:

Heritage for the silhouette, background, and plate

MM for the scalloped circle

CK for 90

DT for the 'sunburst' and shadow

1" strips folded for the 'spring'

Thanks for stopping by!!

Boy and girl baby pop-up cards

Pop-up cards are so cute!  Check out Capadia Designs blog for instructions. 

I used GBS, NA, MM, and SB for all cuts and set it up in DS to make an A2 card.  My truck and carriage were cut at 2" and next time I'll make the carriage larger.  Embossed with my Scor-pal and used the Cutter Bee Bug on the girl's.  Some ribbon, brads, and a little inking.  There cards are for the babies of 2 friends who are sisters-in-law and delivered less than 24 hours apart. :D

Thanks for looking!  Try one... they are fun to make!
