Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card


This past Sunday was my Mom's birthday and I made this Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card for her. I had to get my creative thinking on to make this card.  I knew right away I wanted to have tulips because they are one of my mom's favorite flowers. I also knew I wanted to make a pop up box card because I like that they can serve double duty as a card and decoration. Believe it or not, out of all of the Cricut cartridges I have there was not one single tulip flower I liked so I had to create my own. I looked through images on Google of tulips to get the general shape. I noticed the shape was kind of like an egg so I decided I was going to cut 3 egg shapes and layer them and OMG...it worked! I then needed to find a stem and leaves I liked. I found that some blades of grass would work for that effect. Now I absolutely had to use purple because it is mine and my mom's favorite color. Lastly, it was about getting it all cut out and put together. I am so pleased with the way this card turned out and so was my mom.

I used these items to create my Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card:
  • Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - to create the tulips with the egg shape
  • Create a Critter Cricut cartridge - to create the stem and leaves with the blades of grass
  • white ink - to highlight the tulips
  • purple ink - Happy Birthday and sentiment on back of card
  • My Craft Spot - Inside & Out - Set #2 clear stamp set - for the Happy Birthday and sentiment on back of card 
  • Stampin' Up! 4 rhinestones - on front of card
  • Mart
  • 2 shades of purple cardstock
  • white and green cardstock
  • 2 different pattern papers
  • Martha Stewart corner punch - Deco fan
Here are some close ups of the flowers and the back of the card:
