Hi Stampers! One of my most popular pins was a Christmas card featuring the Twist & Pop design. Today, I’m excited to share a birthday version of this fun fold, using the Counting Sheep stamp set and coordinating Sheep Dies. Both of these are Level 1 items from the Mid-Year Sale-A-Bration brochure.
Isn’t this Twist & Pop Birthday Card fun?!?!
The card base is Pacific Point, and next comes a layer of Daffodil Delight, followed by a layer of Basic White cardstock. For the Basic White layer, I used Blending Brushes to add Balmy Blue, Soft Suede, and Garden Green ink to create a lovely background for the outside of the card.
Using the Counting Sheep stamp set, I stamped the sentiment and the sheep in Basic Gray ink, then brought the sheep to life with Stampin’ Blends. I used the Sheep Dies to cut out the sheep, fence (in Soft Suede cardstock), and sun (in Daffodil Delight cardstock). I attached the fence with Mini Glue Dots, and added the sheep and sun with Stampin’ Dimensionals for a little extra pop.
The mechanism for my Twist & Pop Birthday card may seem tricky, but it’s actually not that difficult! Once you follow along with the video, you’ll see how simple it is to put together. It’s made from two pieces of Pacific Point cardstock and is the only slightly challenging part of the whole card.
The middle panels each feature a layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock, topped with Basic White cardstock that showcases the stamped images.
You can see in the photo how I’ve lightened the sheep on the right by lifting some of the color. I still need to go back and do the same for the other sheep, as this was taken before I had a chance to finish.
In this close-up, you can see how I used the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to add a soft accent around the edges. Once the Color Lifter is applied, the effect will become even more subtle, showing exactly why the Color Lifter is a must-have tool!

Very cute card!
LOVE THE CARD. i HAVE A DIE THAT MAKES THE Mechanism but this is so much easier. I’m going to try it.
Hi Lisa I love your card but no way can I get the inside right I got the front but in back hangs over or I get a scored line in the front on the piece that hangs down on my mountain side and. The back is very messy and won’t go flat it must be something I am doing wrong. Can you show me or tell me do the score lines go to the inside on the back? I will practise more. I thought maybe my centre for my x wasn’t centred so I made a new one but still the same thing happens thanks for your help
