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.

  • I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

    I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

    This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

    My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

    Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.  

    BOTANICAL LAYERS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

    For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

    The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

  • 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

    Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

    I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

    Details:

    • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
    • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
    • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
    • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
    • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
    • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

    Here's how:

    • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
    • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
    • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save
    After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

    You can see a video on this technique here.
