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.

  • Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial


    I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live.  They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

    These first two cards feature the Painted Christmas designer paper, the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set & Seasonal Label dies. The large greeting die-cut was cut smaller by cutting once and reinserting it to trim off a bit. (shared in the video) 

     

    On this card I added dimensionals to only the very left side of the greeting so it could work as a 'latch'.  The right side flap slips between the left side and the die-cut greeting to keep the card closed flat.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

    I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.  

    One important thing to note about the template below for the DSP layer is to be sure to check the direction & side you prefer before trimming off the angles.  You can use this template for both sides; just trim off the opposite edge. 

    I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different!
