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.

Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!
At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it? Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own! I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop!
I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live. Look!
The card above is my favorite. It truly makes me smile! That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th. See it here.
You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces. I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set. Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it. The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker. The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point.
In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.
If you love quirky and unique get this while you can. This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free!

This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set. I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim.
The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set.

I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles! I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards! Watch how in the video below or click here.
The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!
Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order! Details are below.
The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here. This punch is on back order until October 11th. But you CAN still order it.
I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here. And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors.
Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set. See it here.
That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:
