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.

I created 5 cute cards; one in each color using the Daisy Lane & Sweetly Swirled stamp sets. These cards are going out to my family this week.

I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next.

Best Dressed FB Live cards

April 17, 2020
I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.

Save

Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes. Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards! Join me here:

I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine.

Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

April 16, 2020
My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color. Here's the card I made:

Save

This card literally took me 5 minutes to make. Here's the steps:
1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4". Adhere to the card
3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4" stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink. Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
6. Add a few rhinestones. Done!
You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here. Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit! Details below:
