Pop Up Card

 Hello,

Today's card is a pop up card using the Flowering Rain Boots bundle and the Flowering Fields DSP.

The DSP really does the work for you. Adhering the DSP on to a scalloped piece of card stock adds that feminine touch.

The "ta da"🎵 is on the inside.

Pop up flower pots! Adding a neutral or slightly patterned paper behind the flowers grounds the "scene" without taking away from the focal point. I used the brick patterned DSP from Bloomed Where You're Planted. 

Once the flowers were cut out with the dies and adhered to the pots, I added them to  pieces of acetate or window sheets for stability. 

Here's how I did it....

Cut 2 pieces of card stock measuring 5 1/2 x 5 1/4. With the 5 1/4 side at the top of the paper trimmer, score  at 1" on both pieces, fold and burnish. Cut a layer  4” x 5 1/4". I used the scalloped die from the Color and Contour bundle to cut this piece. Next cut a piece of DSP at 3 3/4" x 5”. Adhere the DSP to the scalloped layer. This is for the front of the card. Add whatever sentiment you wish. 

For the inside, cut a piece of white card stock at 4" x 5 1/4" and cut with the scalloped die (optional). Adhere to one piece of the base card stock with the scored part at the top. Cut a piece of DSP measuring 4" x 5 1/4" for the other base piece. Adhere to the base with the scored part facing the bottom.

Now depending on the image used on the inside ( I used the Flowering Rain Boots bundle), cut 3 pieces of acetate measuring 1” x 3 ¾”. Because the image I used was shorter than 3 3/4" I cut it to about 2". 

With the scored flap folded towards the top with the DSP, add some tear and tape,  Remove the backing. Lay the acetate on the tear and tape, making sure they are evenly spaced. Press them in place. With the two scored parts facing up, adhere the two bases together sandwiching the acetate between the two pieces. Use some tear and tape to adhere your image to the acetate, ensuring the image used does not go over the edge of the card base.

And there you have it.

Thanks for visiting. Until next time....
