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.

Beautiful fall swap cards by my Team!

October 5, 2022
This week I'm sharing the incredible swaps my Flowerbug's Team created for our September swap event.  Each month our group has an optional swap event that anyone on my Team can join. This time it was fall or Halloween themed.

Did you know there is a new special on the Starter kit in October? You can become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and enjoy all the perks too! No worries on holding events or 'selling' if you don't want to. Most of my team are happy shoppers and just enjoy the discount and perks of being a part of the Stampin' Up! family. Email me here if you'd like to learn more about this.

Brenda made this gorgeous card with the popular Aspen Tree dies which were unavailable for awhile but they're back but now in low inventory again! See them here.

Save

She die-cut the large die from Early Espresso card stock and added a few die-cut leaves, also from the Aspen Tree dies set. The 'Hello' is from the Hello Harvest stamp set, stamped on a white stitched rectangle die-cut.

Her amazing background is done with our Blending Brushes; it's a beautiful way to create a striking horizon for this die.

~~~

Next is a stunning card made by Marla. This card has tons of texture that does not show in the photo.

Save

She featured the Texture Chic, Gold & Rose Gold and Distressed Gold designer papers. The leaves, acorn and grid die-cuts are from the Chic dies seen here. The greeting die-cut is from the Floral Gallery dies. It's so pretty!

Measurements:
- Coastal Cabana CS 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" & 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
- Early Espresso 5 1/4" X 4"
- Texture Chic DSP 4" X 3"

Next is a card made by a couple; Miles & Laura, featuring the Gnomes bundle.

Save

Isn't it a fun fall themed card? The Kindest Gnomes bundle is quite versatile and don't have to be just for Christmas!

Products used:
- DSP – Celebrate Everything host paper (Holiday catalog page 87)
- Kindest Gnomes bundle seen here
- Watercolor pencils & linen thread
- Crushed Curry & White card stock, Black ink
~~~

Next is a sweet card made by Kim; she used the Hello Harvest bundle seen here. Unfortunately the dies are unavailable now; they should be back around October 24th.

Save

Her colors include Soft Seafoam, Black, Mossy Meadow & Pumpkin Pie. That gorgeous texture is made with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.

I have two more fabulous swap cards to share with you from our September Team swaps. My Flowerbug's are so talented and creative.

Paula made a Waterfall card! These are not difficult but a bit intimidating maybe…. I shared a FB Live video here on how to make one.

She featured the Scary Cute bundle seen here as well as the Black & White designs DSP here. The colors are Black, White & Gorgeous Grape.

Save

She also used the Blossoming Happiness dies for her bottom border so she'd have a spot to add the Orchid Oasis 1/8" metallic ribbon for the pull.

Save

Measurements:
- Black card 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Basic Gray strip 5 1/2" X 1 1/4", waterfall strip is 2 1/2" X 10" scored at 5 1/4", 6", 6 3/4" & 7 1/2"
- Gorgeous Grape squares are 2 1/2"
- White squares are 2 1/4"
- DSP is 4" X 5 1/4"
Here's a peak of the last inside panel with the die-cut & spooky scene. She stamped the greeting on the long inside strip.

Save

Again, if you want to know how to make one of these waterfall cards check out my video here.

Next is a colorful Halloween card made by Sharon using this same bundle. She also added stamps from the Best Witches & Bewitching stamp sets.

Save

Her colors include Rich Razzleberry, Parakeet Party, Black & Daffodil Delight. She used the Deckle dies for her front layers and inside as well.

Save

Here's a photo of this cute bundle. Click on it to see it in my store.

My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous! I shouldn't be surprised at this point!

Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.

Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here. Look at her amazing coloring!

Save

The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog. She used Blends markers for her coloring. Love that face!

The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog. The circles are from the Layering Circles dies.

It's also a fun fold 'latch' card! Here's the inside view:

Save

Measurements:
- Highland Heather: Card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Side flap is3 1/2" square
- Black: 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" & 2" X 5 1/4"
- DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
- White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.

Save

Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here. Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back! I just love her playful circles layout!

Save

She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green. She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.

The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!

Save

Measurements:
- Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border
- White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
- Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!
Save

Don't you agree that these cards are amazing!? I'm so proud to share the creativity of my Flowerbug's Team! More to come tomorrow!
