AHSC679 Pop Up Birthday

Happy Monday, stamping friends! A new fun sketch from Atlantic Hearts is ours today:

 

A square sketch is always fun--just a wee bit different!  Since I knew I had a banner die that would be perfect for this card, I chose some bright, cheerful glossy prints for my layers to create a child's birthday card:


Pretty straightforward; I just cut some of the bright prints and adhered them to a Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" square card base, then added the diecut banner.  The birthday die was cut from some Daffodil Delight cardstock and I added a wee little heart-shaped resin embellishment over the "i"!


Since the front of the card was lacking anything too exciting, I decided to do a pop-up element on the inside with some diecut balloons and a strip of clear acetate:


In hindsight, using a balloon punch probably would have been easier; I had to add a backing piece since the diecut was an inlay and my pieces had nothing to hold on to!  I managed to assemble it and adhere it to the acetate; it doesn't lay 100% flat, but it'll do!


And a birthday sentiment from Waffle Flower finished it off!


I hope you'll play along with our Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge sketch this week!  See you at the blog!  And thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Those bright colours are perfect for a child’s card and the pop up balloons a fun touch that is the perfect added surprise. Love it!
