For
the #FFCChallenge2023, I created a Triple Panel Box Pop-Up Card using
the gorgeous stamp set from Creative Stamping Issue 150. This design combines autumn-themed images with birthday treats, making
it perfect for celebrating at this cosy time of year. Watch my
step-by-step tutorial on YouTube to see how it all came together!
Here’s
my project for the #FFCChallenge2023 — a Triple Panel Box Pop-Up Card
featuring the fabulous stamp set from Creative Stamping Issue 150.
I wanted this design to capture both the warmth of autumn and the joy of
a birthday celebration. Each panel is decorated with a mix of stamped
and coloured images — from cakes and cupcakes to pumpkins, berries, and
fall leaves. The bright colours pop beautifully against the autumnal
background papers, while the dimensional box style gives the card an
impressive 3D effect when opened.
The
Birthday Wishes sentiment takes centre stage across the middle panel,
tying everything together into a cheerful, seasonal design. This style
of card is such a fun way to surprise the recipient, as it folds flat
for posting but pops up to create a real “wow” moment when opened.

You can follow along with my full step-by-step video tutorial on
YouTube, where I show exactly how to assemble this box card and decorate
it with the Creative Stamping 150 stamps.
I
had so much fun playing with the stamps from Creative Stamping Issue
150! For this project, I wanted to do something a little different and
create shaped cards using just the stamps and some simple basic shapes.
The result? Five playful designs that are easy to recreate and perfect
for so many occasions.
The 5 Shaped Cards
• Pumpkin Card – A warm autumnal card featuring cosy coffee and leaves, perfect for seasonal greetings.
• Donut Card – Bright and cheerful, stamped with fun sweet treats and perfect for a birthday card.
• Coffee Cup Card – A to-go coffee cup shape, stamped with autumn details and a sentiment that’s perfect for a coffee-loving friend.
•Mushroom Card – A cute and whimsical shaped card with a stamped background that makes it feel playful and fun.
• Cupcake Card – Decorated with embossed texture and topped with sweet stamped designs, perfect for a cheerful greeting.
Each card uses simple shapes as the base — circles, ovals, rectangles — so they’re quick and easy to put together, but still look extra special.
Why I Love These Cards
Shaped cards are a great way to stretch your supplies and think outside the box. You don’t need fancy dies to make them — just basic shaped dies, scissors, or a cutting machine, plus the gorgeous stamp set from the magazine.
