Foggy Forest Pop-Up Birthday Card

For the card front: Cut 4 7/8"x6 3/8" of Foggy Forest moose cardstock from the upper left corner. Ink the edges with the VersaMark™ pad. Squeeze a couple thin squiggly lines of glue near the bottom and lower right corner along the path which will be under the chipboard moose. Cover the ink and glue with embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat the remainder to melt it. Wrap two 6" dark jute lengths across the cardstock, 7/8" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the cardstock centered on the card front.

Remove the Foggy Forest “happy birthday” cutout and foam tape it centered near the top. Remove the moose and bird from the chipboard backing. Ink the fronts completely, using Seal Brown on the moose and Bordeaux on the bird. Let them dry. Lightly spritz water on the craft mat, then press the moose and bird into the smallest droplets.

When the moose and bird are dry, glue them to the front as shown. Make a 6-loop bow with green jute and tie the center with a 4" length of green jute. Glue the bow to the card over the first jute as shown.

For the inside: Download, trace and cut the pop-up mechanism from the upper portion of the Foggy Forest stag head cardstock. Cut the solid lines and score the dashed lines, then ink the outer edges with Seal Brown. Crease the scores in mountain and valley folds, following the pattern.

Place 2-sided tape on the backs of the two outer sections of the pop-up. Remove the tape backing from the back right section. With the pop-up folded, position it on the inside right panel, about 3/8" from the right card edge, and press in place. Keeping it folded, remove the tape backing from the left panel and close the card on it. Open the card to test the pop-up, then press the outer panels in place firmly.

Remove the stag, bunny, moon, and the trees shown from the chipboard backing. Trim the longest tree section to 2 3/8" and set the remainder aside for another project. Ink the pieces as for the front, using Honey Pot for the moon, Friar Brown for the bunny, Seal Brown for the stag, and Pine Tree for the trees. Press them into spritzed water as before and let them dry.
