I made a Surprise gift card with a pop up fancy fold card and followed the tutorial by Jan B.:
But instead of a little handbag as the pop up, I made a little birdhouse.
I fussy cut the birds out of the PP and punched the strips for the roof of the birdhouse.
I also used some moss, greenery and a little wooden disc to decorate the birdhouse (see photo).
My card is held closed with a belly band, and decorated with two cards from the PP, and a green ribbon with blue heart beads.
The stamped sentiment says:
"Especially for your birthday
Health and lots of good wishes.
The most beautiful things in life
surrounded by kind people".
The challenge at Die Cut Divas this month is Birthdays, not ATG, but I see you have "Congratulations on your card and dies, so this would qualify for a birthday card using dies (Big Shot and circle dies).
