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.

    Stampin' Up! is releasing one of the upcoming Annual Catalog bundles early!  Plus they added on two exclusive papers along with it!  But these papers are only available through May 3rd, while supplies last! Click here to see them online. 

    I joined an online swap and created these pretty cards: 

    The bundle consists of 1 large butterfly stamp and 12 coordinating dies.  There is a big pack of 6 X 6" Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper and also new Natural Touch specialty paper; 2 sheets of wood grain 12" X 12" paper. Download the Butterfly Bouquet flyer

    If you plan to get the Butterfly Bouquet bundle or Designer Paper I have an extra perk for you!  All online orders in March receive a FREE 15 project PDF full of ideas for you!  See details below! 

    Which card do you prefer?  Mint Macaron or Calypso Coral?  I sure like the soft papers in this Designer Paper!

    Here's the flyer so you can see the details for each of these new products.  It's important to note that the two papers shown are only available from now through May 3rd while supplies last.  You can order tomorrow, March 2nd. 

    Look at the photo below; see how this sheet of paper coordinates with the large multiple butterfly die? It might be hard to tell but the die is laying on the paper.  So cool!  

    I used three of these butterflies on my cards; the green, blue and yellow!  Such happy spring-like colors!

    Measurements are:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 2" X 5 1/2"
    • Natural Touch paper 2" X 4"
    • Black 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", plus 1/4" and 1/3" strips and die-cut butterfly
    • White scrap for Painted Poppies die-cut

    On the card below I did color parts of the yellow butterfly with my Calypso Coral Blends marker.

  • Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!


    Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

    Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

    Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

    I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.  

    Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter. 

    The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

    Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.
