Sunny Studio - Pull Tab Birthday Card

Hi there,

I'm happy to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this interactive birthday card featuring some cute pups having fun partying, and as very often I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers in browns and neutrals for the dogs and a yellow + green + aqua + turquoise color palette for the balloons, banners and presents.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Doggone Birthday - dog in the center • Party Pets - other dogs, party hats, small presents, flying balloons • Heart Bouquet - balloons on both sides • Balloon Rides - banners.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next worked on my interactive panel, starting by cutting a large Stitched Rectangle panel out of a Rainbow Bright starry blue paper. I mixed broken china oxide ink with water, used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I created the whole interactive feature using a Summer Splash green paper, and you can check this process video showing how to build such an interactive card.

Once my interactive panel was done, I attached the images using liquid glue on the interactive tab for the flying dog and balloons, as well as 1 mm and 2 mm foam squares for the balloons, banners, presents and other dogs. I love those little guys so much, they're just so stinking cute with their happy faces!

I purposely left a space right between the balloons for my sentiment, I white embossed "Have a doggone birthday" from Doggone Birthday on yellow cardstock and used a Rounded Rectangle Mat die to turn it into a small banner that I attached to my panel using liquid glue. I attached my panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape, and then to a white card base to finish my card.
