“Forest Friends, Happy Birthday”

This card was an experiment. When I originally saw the video for Karen Burnistons Cascading Tag card {see card “Back to the Beach” from Aug 17,18} my brain started churning if she could do that with the Adirondack chair die, what could I do with the Garden Bench die {see card “Friends” from Aug 30, 18}, I assumed that in theory that it should work, long story short, it didn’t, well not as well as the Adirondack chair turning into a cascading tag card but I did come up with this.

Garden bench die to make the pop-up mechanism is a Karen Burnistom die. So are the dies to make the Honey the Bear, Poppy the Owl, and Dutch the Fox.

All the cardstock, designer paper, ink, ribbon, punches and other dies (word bubbles, “happy”, butterfly) are all from Stampin’ Up.

All the animals were cut out of microfiber that I got from work,  check with your local furniture store, they may have swatches from the discontinued product that will just hit the garbage.
