Happy Birthday
by Lisa Elton
Are you familiar with our Pop Up Easel Sets? They contain a series of dies that let you create a card that mails flat, but then displays popped up! The above photo shows you what I mean. You have a die that cuts the pop up base and dies to create the display portion of the card. This is the Bird House set. It actually contains some winter dies too. Pine, snowy additions and a cardinal. But mine is decked out for Spring! Lets take a look…
After constructing the birdhouse, I added the Nordic Bold Bird to her new home. Some glittery cardstock was added for just a touch of pizazz! You’ve probably noticed one corner of my birdhouse was cut off. It was a mishap in the machine! No worries though, it’s going to be covered!
Tad-dah! The recipient will never know there was a boo-boo! I’ve added several of our Nordic flowers. Some parts popped up with little foam dots and a touch more glitter.
The Memory Box sentiment tab works perfectly to hold the pop up easel card in place; but isn’t too thick for the flat fold.
You can pop this up as much as you like. I chose to put my “holder” lower on the panel because it fit nicely in that particular space.
I hope I’ve inspired you to check out our Pop Up Easel sets! There are some fun things to choose from. The bonus is that you can use the dies for a regular card too. I’ve used this little birdhouse on a regular A2 card for the holidays and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Spring, friends!
This is darling, Lisa! I’m inspired to pull my birdhouse die out and play with some flower dies as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
OH, you clever crafty girl! Those darling flowers did the trick beautifully!
Such a sweet little bird, too!

Super fun card. Great save on mis-corner too 😃
Really fun and beautiful, Lisa! I do love pop-up cards, and your turquoise and yellow just make me wanna shout “Spring”. Such a cute way to put a smile on someone’s face
Just love your spring take on the bird house pop-up, Lisa! The Nordic blooms and birdie look amazing with it!! And what a brilliant idea for the MB sentiment tabs – perfect thickness!!
I have this birdhouse die too Lisa, and love playing with it…so versatile!! I love how you’ve used it with the bold and bright colors to make it Spring-y rather than the Winter version (had more than enough Winter, thank you very much!!). That sweet little birdie surrounded by all the flowers totally has me smiling my friend…LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
This is so beautiful! I love that bird and all those gorgeous floral images. Kudos to you for covering that little boo-boo.
Oh my gosh, Lisa, there is so much happiness in this adorable card! Geez, I didn’t even notice the mishap until you mentioned it. Great cover up!
Such a beautiful easel card! Love that sweet bird!
Such a beautiful card, Lisa. Awesome design and great use of the dies.
The sweetest little birdhouse ever, Lisa! Absolutely perfect for a spring birthday.
What a darling and fun card, Lisa! Love all the dies and that you used some glitter paper! So great when a boo-boo doesn’t matter!
Your bird house easel card is fantastic, Lisa!! I love the sweet bird and those pretty flowers adorning their home. Great safe on the bird house, I hadn’t noticed it until you pointed it out. 🙂 I didn’t know there were easel card dies. That makes it so easy to construct this wonderful designs. xx
