Charlie Brown B'day Pop Up Card

Made this card for my brother who has a fondness for Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Images were purchased from the Etsy Store from HQDigitalArt.  Simply re-size the images to 3" height and print them on heavy weight card stock.  Fussy cut them out (to include the 1-1/2" long "stems" for the pop-up mechanism).  There was an option for these images to be SVG cutting files but printing them seems more logical.  Papers used are from my stash.  Oh my gosh: this card was made for my birthday in 2018. It is complex, for sure. Original card is posted here on A Star for Chiemi's blog.  My finished cards size: 6-3/4" x 6-1/2" (flat).

For Snoopy's dog house, the red paper used for the bottom of the house is a solid matched red color from my stash.  It is backed with white card stock. A black marking pen is used for the outlines.  Woodstock is sized to 7/8" height and is cut out separately, then attached to Snoopy's feet. Each character is positioned in the base. Outside box edge is using a Martha Stewart Grass punch.
 Rob's name is die cut using  My Art C by Momenta.
Side view: 
This is the "flat" view of the card.  Happy Birthday is a Ali Express die: four layers of black card stock are die cut and attached, a final layer of red card stock is die cut, then entire stack is attached to the front.
