Good morning friends~ Do you have a special birthday that you want to celebrate with more than just a typical card? I'm up over at the Dies R Us blog today and I've got a fun pop-up card for you.
Before we get to today's card I want to remind you that DRU is having a Design Team Call. If you want to design for a very generous company and get an amazing discount on a large line of quality dies, then here's your chance! I have enjoyed my time with DRU and the amazing gals on the design team for a year now and I have learned so much and made some lasting friendships. You can find all the details of the design team call HERE.

Now on to my card:
Let's start with the inside of the card first.
Elizabeth Craft Designs offers many Pop-Up choices. They're so easy to use and the design possibilities are endless.
I chose this wonderful cake plate from Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Pudding which I have enjoyed using since it was first released. I add a bit of color using Distress inks, add the trim pieces and embellish with Stickles. The Impression Obession Cake Set is colored in the same way and I added some Glossy Accents to the frosting. YUM!
These banner posts are part of the Lots of Pops die set. I cut four of them so that I can double them up for stability. This is what the banner will be strung through.
I cut several Poppystamps Celebration Balloons out of white card stock. I added color using Distress Inks and attached them to some balloon strings.
Assemble the inside of the card using each pop up for different design elements.
I cut a Marianne Designs Basic Shapes Square, which was purchased during one of the many Dies R Us Special Order events. (Be sure to sign up for their newsletter so you can be notified when these take place.)
I like to keep the front of the card fairly simple. I added this adorable Panda / Bear from Marianne Designs (another special order die) and gave him a little cupcake to hold and added a candle from the Impression Obsession Cake Set. Two more Poppystamps Balloons float above the panda to add fun this special celebration.
Here is a list of dies that I used that can be found at Dies R Us:
The other dies I used can be purchased during their next Special Order event so please sign up for their newsletter.
