A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

April 19, 2022

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.

Save

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!

Save

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.

Here’s the card I featured on last week’s video. We made it at my February card clubs locally and it was a big hit!

Save

My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie & Basic Beige. There are two different pieces of the designer paper that’s called Nature Walk and can be seen here.

There are lots of pieces and extra elements to this card. It was super fun to put together. That neat striped embossing folder on the extra Lost Lagoon layer is called Lovely Stripes and can be seen here. It’s one of my new favorites.

This card is kept closed by the narrow ‘flap’ attached to the right side of the card. I added a small triangle to the DSP layer to tuck the corner into. Works great To hold that flap down!

Save

The flap is adhered ‘underneath’ the DSP layer inside the card. *note the other embossing folder used on the card above. It’s called Stone & Vine and is also a deeply textured folder seen here.

There are many, many details on this card I want to highlight. Here goes:
- The die-cut leaves and ‘wood’ piece under the greeting are from the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.
- The die-cut leaves are cut out from our two-sided card stock. I love that you can choose the light or the dark side which gives more color choices!
- I added Pecan Pie ink to that wood die-cut with a blending brush.
- The greeting is from the Three Banner punch bundle seen here.
I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card; I hope you watch it as I give multiple tips and ways to make your crafting process easier.

Greenery Lane card with the new Washi Tape

February 26, 2026

I was playing around with the Greenery Lane bundle and the new coordinating Washi Tape and created this card:

Save

My colors are Garden Green with White; simple. I adhered the Washi Tape to a piece of White CS and then cut one piece into a large circle and used the coordinating dies to cut four of the leaves. You can see the bundle here and below.

Save

The Greenery Lane Washi tape coordinates with many of the dies in the bundle. It’s so pretty in shades of green. See it online here.

Save

I also used the Nested Essential dies for the greeting, the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Textured Notes dies (unavailable right now but on the Last Chance list).

Save

If you look at my greeting ‘hugs’ you’ll notice it’s not alone. I carefully inked just the ‘hugs’ with my ink pad since I wanted a short greeting.
I hope you like it and are inspired by product and the layout.
