A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!
This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating! You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.
I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso.
The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit. You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.
I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do!
The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.
You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work. Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here. Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.
Please follow me on Facebook here to catch my Live videos each week. I share 6 each month and my focus is to inspire you to stamp by sharing great ways to use Designer Paper, unique fun folds and easy techniques.
I chose to play with the Artfully Layered bundle seen here in colors of Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green. Having a lot of 'white space' makes the textures & pretty leaves the clear star of the card.
Sailboats & Palm Trees featured in today’s card swaps!
Today's post are the last of my talented Flowerbug Team swaps for April. Our theme was water, trees or leaves and I've been sharing their cards all week! It's so fun to see everyone's style and actually receive cards from people across the country. I LOVE swapping!
The first card is made by Candy; she is featuring the Paradise Palms bundle seen here. Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Black.
The next card was made by Tammi. She used the Let's Set Sail bundle in the 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. This bundle is returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May. I love this punch!
She created her own watercolor background by washing diluted color (Pool Party & Balmy Blue) onto her White CS. She also textured her background with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. This folder is retiring now and it's on sale too! I'm so sad about it as I think it's a staple. It is a perfect way to add texture without a lot of busyness. See it here; get it while you can!
