Happy Wedding Day! – Pop Up Gazebo Card
My son got married today! Congratulations Kevin and Lansing!
The card I made for them features several Karen Burniston die sets (listed below).
It has a pop-up gazebo with park bench and the happy couple that I attached to the inside of the card with strong magnets so it can be displayed in the card or on its own if desired.
(The gazebo could also be glued directly onto the card with no magnets or given by itself with the sentiment written/stamped on the bottom and no card at all.)
For Kevin’s and Lansing’s card, I personalized the bride and groom with photos of their faces. (Yes, it’s a little silly, but fun – lol!)
My niece is getting married in October, and because I didn’t have photos that worked for hers, I used die cuts and stamps to create the faces for the bride and groom to resemble her and her husband-to-be. (Also a bit silly!)
The card front is pretty simple.
And the inside…
While quite large and a bit bulky, it does fold flat to fit in an envelope. The finished top-folding card is 7 3/4 x 6 1/4 (sized to accommodate the tall pop-up), and I used my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch to create a custom envelope.

(inside: I just want you to know how incredibly special you are… not only on your birthday but every single day!)
As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought how perfect it would be for my husband who is a huge Frank Sinatra fan! This (5×7) card was created with the “Timeless Classic Card” SVG file from Dreaming Tree and my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how the pieces all go together.
All the card stock was Recollections – 4 grays from the “Architecture” pack, red and gold from the “Primary Foil” pack, navy, black, and white. I used Copic marker YR09 to color his orange pocket square.
Because this was for my husband’s birthday, I used one of the birthday stamps from the “Birthday Blessings” set from Gina K Designs, but the file includes the “Timeless Classic” words which could be used instead.
The file also includes a pop-up gift card holder for the inside and a custom envelope which I did not use.
The inside greeting is from the “Birthday Innies” set from Sweet and Sassy. I used a stamp from the “Timeless Textures” set from Stampin’ Up to add the texture to the tie and hat band.

Pickleball for Father’s Day
I’m a bit late posting this, but…
Pickleball seems to be all the rage these days, and my husband has definitely been bitten by the bug! When I saw this “Pickleball Card” SVG file from Dreaming Tree, I knew I had to make his Father’s Day card with it. While it comes with the Father’s Day greeting (and 2 different print and cut panels for the inside sentiment), this (5×7) card could be used for anyone (and for any occasion) who loves pickleball!
I cut all the pieces with my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how they all go together.

Happy Birthday Money Cake
Here’s a fun way to display a monetary gift!
I cut the pieces from the Money Cake svg file from Dreaming Tree with my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how it goes together. I resized mine to 130% since I needed slightly larger holes to fit 4-5 bills in each of the 20 holes. (The recipient is always looking for singles, and I wanted to include 85 to match her age.)
The greeting is from the Birthday Blessings stamp set from Gina K Designs (retired). (A graduation “print and cut” panel is included with the download if this were to be a graduation gift.) The card stock is an old Love Nicole print (from A.C. Moore) that I’ve had forever along with GKD Bubblegum (card stock and ink).

Quilled Floral Mother’s Day Card
(inside: Wishing you a happy day!)
I haven’t done any quilling in a while and had big ideas in my head for this card. Quilling is A LOT harder than it looks (for me) – LOL! What was going to be a large quilled pattern with multiple flowers and swirls ended up being one, simple flower. Oh well; I’ll keep practicing!
The printed paper is from the “Floral Fields” paper pack from Creek Bank Creations. The purple card stock is Bazzill Velvet. The greeting die and inside sentiment stamp are from Amazon.
I have such respect for people who can quill well!!
