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.

  • Diamond Gatefold fun fold card with Season of Green & Gold specialty paper – video too!


    On last week's Live video I created this beautiful fun fold card. It shows off both sides of our double sided designer paper beautifully! 

    I chose to feature the stunning Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper seen here online.  It's filled with shades of green with gold foil accents and is part of our Online product line.

    I cased my friend Susie Wood who made the card on the left below: 

    She used the Regal Flora designer paper in Cherry Cobbler with Blackberry Bliss. So very pretty!  Find more projects by my talented friend from Iowa here on her blog. 

    I love this neat fold!

    Details:

    • The pretty gold die-cut is from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.
    • The greeting is from the Something Fancy stamp set seen here
    • The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Forest dies seen here

    Look at the extra details inside too. Wedding cards are fun because you can go over the top a bit! This gorgeous card will be given to my youngest son who's getting married this week.  I'm so thrilled for him and his fiance'. We're excited to welcome her into our family! 

    It used a pieces of designer paper measuring 12" X 5 1/4" that is adhered to a card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Then the corners are folded down. Here's the simple template I drew:

    Stampin' Up! knows we love scenic designer series paper and they created another winner with the Splendid Autumn DSP. I chose to feature it for one of my September card kits to go. 

    Each of the cards are a unique fun fold layout. I chose these designs specifically to show off the pretty papers. 

    I offer both a pre-cut kit with products or the PDF tutorial option.  Both include the tutorial and now an unlisted video on how to assemble each card!  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase from my shop. The video link is emailed to you soon after.  The pre-cut card kit is mailed out at the end of September.

    This month's kit to go includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg Splendid Autumn 6" Designer Series Paper
    • a share of Faux Glass gems and woven gold leaves
    • a share of Wild Wheat rustic ribbon
    • both the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial

    Click here to purchase the card kit to go for $31 plus shipping. Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16.  *see all of the available kits or tutorials here. 

    *this is the kit my subscribers will receive.   Subscribe here if you're interested in receiving a card kit filled with both products AND a pre-cut card kit.  My subscribers get their kits at a reduced rate.

    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. I LOVE it; it's a go-to for an all occasions greeting set. 

    However you can substitute any greetings instead.  I specifically plan my cards kits so you only need greeting images; not a specific stamp set.

    *I'll share the other new kit for September tomorrow!
