It's time for another DOcelebration! It's a birthday celebration and more! I celebrated a birthday earlier this month, on the 13th. In fact, as it landed on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, it was my Stamping Club night. One of the cards we did was this Pop-Up Birthday Gifts card.
I've been seeing cards like this for a couple years now and have avoided making one. Why? Because I thought they looked too hard. But just like anything else, once you figure it out, it doesn't seem that hard after all. And since it was my birthday, I thought…"let's do it!"
As it's a little more involved, I did make a video. In fact – 2 videos. Today's video features the pop-up technique. Tomorrow's video will feature tips for the balloon punch art on the front of the card – found HERE.

Really cute card. Congrats on 5 million.
Well, it’s no wonder you’ve had 5 mil hits!! Your blog is a wonderful source of inspiration & information — in many ways, better even than the SU website for other demos as well as non. Thx so much!!
Absolutely fabulous! Can’t wait to make one.
Ok, sorry, where is the link to your blog? I don’t see it. The page is very busy with stuff and I can’t seem to find it. Also, does SU sell those swatch pads or do you make them?
sophia
Hmmm, I already posted a congrats on 5 million hits, but don’t see my original post. That is really odd…
5,000,000!!! Wow that is quite the milestone. I can understand why; your videos are so easy to understand. I’ve bookmarked many of them including this one. Also, happy belated birthday. May you be blessed with many, many more.
Congrats Dawn Love your projects!!

Gee Dawn, you’re such an amazing artist and teacher! Because of your kindness of making videos and allowing the public to access, I’ve become a better stamper, for this I’m humbly thankful! You always uplift and sometimes stretch my abilities! I’m serious when I said you’ve helped me! I feel like I’m a personal friend and I always root for your 4 legged babies, I pray for all of you as you travel and compete!Thanks for all you do, wish I lived closer so that I could come and stamp with you!
