I’ve had many requests for a tutorial for my Birthday Balloon Surprise card and I’m so excited to be finally sharing it with you all! It took me some time because I wasn’t sure what was the best method for the tutorial. I finally decided that video was necessary to show how I cut the card stock for the pop up and you need a PDF for the measurements, which I will provide at the bottom of this blog post.
From the front the card doesn’t look like it has so much excitement on the inside. I did think that this Picture Perfect Party DSP would be fun for this card, particularly the balloons. The coordinating stamp set had the perfect sentiment to stamp right onto a a balloon.
Honestly you can do anything you want on the card front. Its the inside where the magic really is. Here is the inside:
As you can see, the inside is quite fun with the appearance of an open box of helium balloons floating up, up, and away! The video below best show you how I created this card:

Thank you very much Pam. So thrilled to hear to you love the card. I’m very happy to hear that imperial measurements are useful for you. I will make sure all my tutorial will include them. It’s great to get the feedback regarding that. 🙂
Great card, thanks for the tutorial.
You’re very welcome Doris!
Love this pop up card! I’m always on the lookout for fun cards and this certainly fits the bill. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
You are very welcome Alla! Thrilled to hear my card fits the bill 😁! Would love to see your creation – you can email it to stamping@tatianacreative.com.au or post to my Facebook page
This is a very cute card. I have a box die that I’m going to try with the card. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you Joan! That sounds really lovely!
it looks complicated with the measurements to create a pop up. I thought it would be easier to just fold the inner card half, and from there cut parallel , if you get what i mean.
I like your idea of the balloon coming out of the box. It’s neat!
Hi Crystal, thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog post. Yes I do get what you mean! That’s a great idea and you are right it would be easier. Honestly I didn’t think of doing it that way! Thank you for the suggestion!
Hi from Missouri, USA – I just found this awesome card! Just what I need for my 2 year old great-granddaughter. Putting the pattern on the back – Genius! Thanks so much for your idea!
