I am so excited to share with you all the special 80th birthday card I made for my mom. I was asked by Inloveartshop.com<\/a><\/span> to do a review and post some videos of products that I could pick from their store, so I was thrilled that I was able to find some awesome dies at fantastic prices for this project.

I decided to use this Large Foldable Scrapbooking Album Die<\/a><\/span> (I’m not sure why it was named this, but this die is perfect for making a super special 3D pop up card) to create this easy and fun 3D fun fold card. I used the die to cut and emboss some thick dark blue card stock as well as a beautiful Graphic 45 patterned paper from the Bohemian Bazaar Collection<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 I used a teflon bone folder<\/a><\/span> to sharpen all the embossed fold lines of the dark blue cardstock. This made the accordion folding easy and crisp.\u00a0 Then I cut down the patterned paper along the fold lines. I then cut down each piece by 1\/4″ on 2 sides of each patterned paper piece so that I could prep each panel of the card for a matted look.\u00a0 I glued down each patterned piece onto the dark blue panel of the card base. I alternated the floral side with the reverse yellow polka dot side on each panel for a fun energetic feel. I also took the dominant tulip image from another piece of the Bohemian Bazaar Collection and fussy cut it out using my Fiskars Spring Loaded Scissors. I popped it up on double sided foam adhesive and free hand cut out a yellow polka dot mat around it before gluing it on the front vertical panel of the card.<\/p>\n

For the sentiments, I used a combination of stamps from the following stamp sets as well as free hand writing with a Faber Castell PITT pen in XS point: The Greeting Farm “The Snuggle Is Real”; The Greeting Farm “I Love Mom”; and Power Poppy “Party Time”.<\/p>\n
