Under the Sea with a Pop It Up Birthday Card

This is a big month for me in the birthday card department. I have four people to make cards for! This is the first and I'll refrain from naming names since it is in the mail right now (although if the recipient sees this post I know she'll figure out it's for her due to the subject matter lol). I used the Karen Burniston Katie Label Pivot Card die so I could have a nice expanse on the front and back of the card to stamp on but still get that fun pop up action.

front

 

I like how you can move the die around on your card base to determine where you want the cut to end up. I made it towards the top of the card so I'd have a large clear area to stamp in the bottom corner.

back

The backgrounds are created using the Wrinkle-free distress ink technique, stamping, and stenciling.

3-D pop up when it's open!

I used Distress markers to color the stamped images.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Make Your Own Background. The supplies I used for this project can be found at Sizzix or Simon Says Stamp. Follow the links below and a shopping you may go. ;-)
