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.

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.

Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

October 24, 2022
If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share. It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique.

I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook. It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class! See the replay here

I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples. It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.

Tips:
- You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them. I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.
- The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4". This is scored every 1" from the top down. These score lines help you when adhering your strips.
- Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2". I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.
For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries. The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.

Save

My card base is Evening Evergreen. The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set. It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.

For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Save

That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers. I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.

Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!

October 21, 2022
I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card. I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video. See it here on my YouTube channel.

Save

I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here. It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now.

Save

Here's what the card looks like folded flat. It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".

Save

I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items.

Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls. I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.

Save

Measurements:
- Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
- DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”
Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here. Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here.

The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.

Save

Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

Look what you can do with the Charming Landscapes embossing folders

October 20, 2022

I shared a fun way to use the Charming Landscapes embossing folders in this week's FB Live video. Look!

Save

After I textured White card stock with the folders I trimmed the excess off and adhered it over a piece of Lights Aglow designer paper and then onto my White card base. So simple with just a little bit of fussy cutting. See the Charming Landscapes embossing duo here.

Save

The greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. A few loops of gold cording is added to the back.

Here's another version; a bit more fussy cutting on this one though!

Save

This one did take more time to trim…. I added light So Saffron Blends marker and Wink of Stella to the little village houses.

What do you think? I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold colors.

Below is the video where I show these cards and a special fun fold card too. All made with the beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.
