Pop Up Birthday Card with the new Concord & 9th Release!

Hey friends!! Hope you're having an awesome week! I'm here with (shocking) a birthday card! NOT a Christmas card! LOL. There's a fabulous new release last week from Concord & 9th and I was lucky enough to get some goodies in the mail from them. They always come up with something cool! Remember the pop up Christmas village??? Yeah, they're super cool over at C9! Today I have some pretty party colors and a new kind of Pop Up! You're gonna love it. I will tell you, I am not a genius at folding things and putting 3D things together.... So I was a little nervous about trying this. But guess what? I got it exactly right on the first try! Yay! It's always good to have birthday cards on hand. And you could make this card with any color palette. I used lots of the new goodies: ice cream, cupcakes, candles....all of it! 

The finished card is an A2 white card base folded on the long edge. I wrapped it with a decorated belly band to keep it shut until it POPS open. I love these colors together and this card makes me smile. Here is the front of the card, while folded, with the belly band on. All the elements: words, candy and ice cream are all only connected to that teal band so it can slide right off.

 

Of course I made a triple scoop cone for the front! I used these four colors from the beautiful C9 palette: Ballet Slipper, Honeysuckle, Aqua Sky and Oceanside. I only added a few pops of red/yellow/orange as accents. The "Happy Birthday" is two stamps that match up - so you can easily use two different colors.

 

Here is the belly band after I slid it off the card....

 

And.... POP POP POP up! Yay! Happy birthday indeed! Candles, then ice creams, then cupcakes up front! So sweet! I die cut out all these elements from the four colors in my palette. Then I used Copic Markers to add shading and then some white gel pen accents. The bottom of the ice creams and cupcakes are made with kraft cardstock. 

 

Here's a close up of the elements attached to the folding pop up base dies! SO easy! The pop up base dies are in a set of three - different sizes. You die cut then out and tape them into the fold of the card. Then glue on your elements. That's it. Truly. I did it and you can too!

 

Before I added the pop up elements I stamped the happy happy birthday onto the bottom of the card and also added some confetti!

 

 

 

Here is the back side of the construction so you can see how they are put onto the fold/card.

 

 

 

That's it folks! We're back to the card front! What do you think? Have you tried making pop up cards before? What would you put on there? I can picture some cute critters, or flowers or maybe some presents.... The sky's the limit with this!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a fabulous day and I'll see you soon!! XOXO

I think this is the prettiest pop up card. I love your color combination and how full the pop up element is on the inside. A wonderful card. Thanks for all the inspiration this year. Happy Holidays.
