For my card today I have used the new House of Cards Pop-up die set ... this is such a fun die set and one that will be great for male cards too. When I first saw this die I thought of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, so that is what I did for my card.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

The House of Cards die set, come complete with the "A" for Ace and the four suits (hearts; diamonds, Spades and Clubs) so you can make your own playing cards if you want to. For my card I used a set of mini playing cards that I have had for years to die cut all the playing cards. I had a clean up earlier in the year and I debated throwing these out as I hadn't used for years ... I am glad I didn't. I believe KB Riley will also be selling Mini Playing Cards if you want to use them.

My card is a 5 inch x 7 inch card, and I added a gusset to the centre of the card. I ended up building up 4 rows of playing cards. 

The stamped images used on this card are all from La-La Land Crafts.

I used the smaller rectangles from the Rectangles - Crosshatch die set to the lower right hand corner of my card, for a place to write a personal greeting.

The "You're A Big Deal" sentiment comes from the new Word Set 17 - Congratulations die set.

I kept the front of my card fairly simple, seeing the focus of the card is the inside. I used the same layer for the pattern papers.

I used the Happy Birthday and Happy Birthday Shadow die sets to add the birthday sentiment. I found a smaller playing card set in my stash, so I took the aces out of there to add above the sentiment.

I added one more stamped image to the right hand side of the card.
