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!

Save

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.

April’s card kit to go

April 9, 2020
I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month. This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each! Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too! Look!

Save

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!
- a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here.
- 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
- a full package of Pearl jewels
- a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
- the pre-cut kit! It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
- You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial.
Save

I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine. In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both. Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount!

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial. Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone.

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop. Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th!

Here are some comments from happy customers:
- Your directions are always so easy to follow and your projects are unique.
- Wow! That was slick! I’m sure I will be ordering more from you in the future.
- I absolutely LOVE your cards and can't wait to get my fingers inky!!
- I just received the March card kit and love it! Please sign me up for the monthly kits.
- LeeAnn, I purchased this class last Sunday. I made all the cards, and had a great time. I loved all the different folds and color choices. Thanks for making my week!

Music From the Heart; in a rainbow of colors!

April 8, 2020
I saw a card like this online made by Diane Barnes and had to make it for my friend Becky's workshop a few weeks ago. She loves color! It's made with the Music From the Heart stamp set seen here. It's just $17!

Save

We stamped the treble clef multiple times and the greeting on a separate piece of White CS. Then we fussy cut the words apart and colored each one with a Blends marker.

The rainbow of sponged colors are done on another piece of card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"; the same size as the finished card. Our sponge daubers work perfectly here. It looks pretty messy but you are only seeing a 'peek' of in on the edge so it really doesn't matter much. It's the rainbow of colors you're wanting on the edge.

Save

Measurements:
- White full card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White sponged layer is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- White stamped layer is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2"
Details:
- Ink colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape.
- Blends colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Light Navy, Dark Highland Heather

April 7, 2020

The cute Little Ladybug stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration promotion was very popular; everyone wanted it! It was free with a $300 order but that was difficult for many people to achieve.
