My Card Today
Today’s project is a Hexagon Pop-up birthday card that I found recently (I have the link below to the tutorial I followed). This fun fold was very easy and so much fun to make! All I did was put the card base together and make a simple panel for the sentiment from Charming Sentiments stamp set. If you’re interested in making one, I have simple and concise instructions below or you can also follow the link to the one I used.
My Secrets!
Let’s start with the card base…
- Firstly, I used Beccy’s Place tutorial (HERE). This card folds flat to 6″ x 5″.
- Card Base Measurements:
- Hexagon: Cardstock cut to 2″ x 61/2″ (2) and scored at 2″, 4″, and 6″.
- Cardstock (contrasting color) cut to 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ (6)
- Designer Paper cut to 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″ (6)
- Top Panel: Cardstock cut to 2″ x 10″ and scored at 2″, 5″, and 8″.
- I also made a back panel with contrasting cardstock cut to 2-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ and designer paper cut to 2-5/8″ x 1-5/8″
- Once that was done, I adhered the panels together, being careful to make sure it would lay flat for mailing.
Now, the FUN part!
- So, since the base is hexagonal, it just made sense to use the Countryside Corners dies for the focal point, right?
- Firstly, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Berry Burst ink. Then, I cropped it out with the die and cropped out the bigger die with Berry Burst cardstock.
- After that, I cropped out two of the pretty floral dies so that I could glue them together.
- While the cropped piece was still intact with the cut cardstock, I lightly colored the flowers with the smallest blending brush. Then, I colored the rest with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers.
- After I glued the two pieces together, I glued them to the hexagon piece, then glued the entire panel to the card base so that the top was even with the top of the card base panel.
- Finally, I added the Tinsel Gems to the flowers and sentiment panel.

I love unique shaped cards like your hexagon pop up card! And it’s so lovely in berry burst! The little gems on the top are a pretty accent, too!
I saw no links to get the directions. I always wonder if your cards will fit the SU medium envelope or need a 5 x 7 envelope. It would help if that information was always provided. I love the idea for this card!
Hi, Rachel! I always include the instructions on my cards plus the very first bullet point on this post has the link to Beccy’s tutorial. This card folds flat to 6″ x 5″ so the 5″ x 7″ envelope will be needed. It would be easy to convert the measurements if you are looking to make an A2 card. Have fun in your craft room!
Oh such pretty pop-up card!! Thanks for linking up to our July challenge challenge gallery at Die Cut Divas.
Great fun fold today, Debbie! I’m loving the Berry Burst vibe!!!
