Pop-Up Card

 Pop-Up Card

Hello and welcome to my blog. I have a fun and easy pop-up card to share with you today.

Note: I have been having some technical issues with my blog for the last few weeks, my apologizes if you received posts that you could not access. Fingers crossed it is all been corrected!

Here is todays card:

When you open the card the Designer Series Paper pops out for a fun look! Change up the colors and the Designer Series Paper and this would make a great Christmas Card!

Directions:

Cut a card base using Gorgeous Grape Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Cut a layer of Highland Heather C/S to 5 1/4" x 4" and attach to the card base.

Cut a Basic White C/S layer to 5" x 3 3/4", emboss it using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. Attach it to the card base.

Cut a layer of Basic White C/S to 3 1/4" x 2" and stamp the tree from Pine Tree Trimmings in Memento Black Ink. Attach it to a 3 3/8" x 2 1/8" piece of Basic Black C/S. Attach this panel to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Stamp a sentiment from Natures Print Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink and Basic White C/S. Cut a thin strip of Highland Heather C/S and glue it behind the sentiment so that just a small amount shows at the bottom. Attach the sentiment to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add a Black And White Gingham Bow and some Frosted Iridescent Dots to the card front to finish it off.

Inside:

Cut two pieces of Highland Heather C/S to 5 1/4" x 4" and emboss both with the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to the inside of the card, top and bottom.

Using a 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper, right side facing up, fold the paper in half both ways. Try to be very accurate.  Use your bone folder to get a clean crisp fold. Fold the paper in half diagonally one time only. Burnish, then pushing in the sides, fold into a square. 

Keeping the pop up folded into a square with the open end pointing down, place the top point of the Designer Series Paper square just a smidge below the score line inside the card. Add glue to the DSP and close the card. Give it a good rub so the glue adheres. 

Open the card up and add glue to the other side of the pop up, close the card and let the glue dry. 

Now when you open the card you have this fun pop up!

Cut two pieces of Basic White C/S to 2 3/4" 2 3/4". Stamp a Memento Black Ink tree onto one of the layers on the diagonal. The second piece I left blank to write my message. Glue both pieces inside the card.

Don't forget to stamp your envelope too!

I hope you enjoyed todays card, give it a try!

Pop-Up Tulips Fields Card

 Pop-Up Tulip Fields Card

I made another 3 panel card layout but with a surprise "pop-up" inside! I really like how the Rich Razzleberry Card Stock pairs with the So Saffron Card Stock. And the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is stunning!!

Here is the surprise "pop-up" inside.

Card Front Directions:

Cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry C/S to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut another piece of Rich Razzleberry C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and emboss using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Attach it to the card front.

Cut 3 pieces of So Saffron C/S to:

1@ 1 7/8" x 4 7/8"

1@ 1 7/8" x 1 7/8"

1@ 1 7/8" x 2 7/8"

Cut 3 pieces of the Flowering Fields DSP to:

1@ 1 3/4" x 4 3/4"

1@ 1 3/4" x 1 3/4"

1@ 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Attach the DSP strips to the So Saffron C/S strips using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Attach the 3 panels to the card using Dimensionals. 

**Tip: Watch the direction of the Designer Series Paper when you cut it so the flowers are in the correct orientation. 

On a small scrap of So Saffron C/S stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Flag cut one end. Attach a few loops of Linen Thread behind the sentiment strip using a Glue Dot then attach it to the card front using Dimensionals.

Inside Pop-Up Directions:

Cut piece of Rich Razzleberry C/S to 5" x 3". With the 5" side against the top of the trimmer, score at 1/2", 2 1/2" and 4 1/2". Fold and burnish.

Cut a piece of Flowering Fields DSP to 2 3/4" x 1 3/4". Watch the direction of the pattern. *See photos. Also cut a piece of So Saffron C/S to 2 3/4" x 1 3/4". 

Line up the center fold of this pop-up piece with the card base fold, centering it on the right and left as well. 

Add some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to one of the tabs, fold the tab over so it will attach to the card base. Hold in place and gently fold the card closed so that the tab attaches and adheres and the centres stay aligned. 

Repeat on the other tab.

Gently pull up the center fold so that it pops outwards.

Attach the 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to the bottom pop-up portion.

On the So Saffron C/S 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece, stamp a sentiment. Attach it to the top portion of the pop-up. 

Die cut a Sahara Sand C/S windmill body, an Early Espresso C/S windmill detailed body and blades.

Trim off 2 sections of each blade so it will fit inside the card.

Glue the detailed windmill body to the other body of the windmill. Glue the blades onto the windmill. Add a Brushed Metallic Dot to the center of the windmill blades. Attach the windmill to the pop-up piece using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

You could add a Basic White C/S panel to the inside of the card before adding the pop-up feature for writing on or add a piece to the back of the card. 

I really enjoyed making this pop-up card and I hope you get a chance to make one as well.

Happy Stamping and Creating!
