Pop-Up Flamingo

Trying to keep the momentum going

this year on my blog......

My friend, Ann is doing this

pop-up box as a club project

so have decided to try one out.

Easy-peasy!!!

You can find the tutorial on

Splitcoaststampers.com

It's called the pop-up card box

and is super easy to make.

 

 

As it was a club project,

I kept it a little more simple.

Hope you like it.

 

 

I used dark brown CS from SU

for my base and DP from

The Paper Studio's - Beach House Collection.

The 2 palm trees are a stamped

image from Stamps In Motion (1996)

and the flamingo scene is a stamp

image from Viva Las Vegas Stamps.

The greeting is from SU - After Thoughts Set

 

 

Here's a close-up of the inside of the box.

Images were colored with Copics.

Had to lighten it up a bit so you could see

so the DP doesn't really appear to be the same :(

 

The beauty of this little box is that

it folds FLAT!!!

 

The back of the box has an additional

CS piece attached so that it doesn't

flop around and is meant for a place

to add your greeting.

I opted to make a little pocket

behind the flamingo image on

the front side of the back panel

for a place to insert a gift card.

I decorated the back with the same DP instead.

You can see by the below image where

I've inserted a "fake" gift card.

 

Hope you've enjoyed this project

and will try it out.

It's so clever and easy.

Thanks to the creator!

 

 

 



Magic Card

Quite some time ago, Jill did a video for Sparkle N Sprinkle  showing how to do a Magic Card.  It's from Dec. 2009 so you'll have to scroll down a bit.   I thought it was time to dust off my notes and try one.   It's quite a fun little card and not too difficult.
I decided to copy another card that Jill had done, as it was just too cute, using Stamp Set 360 - Pigs on Parade from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Hope you like it.


This is what it looks like from the outside.  I used a small die cut to make the flower.  First I cut a piece of Super Adhesive Sheet and attached it to a piece of white cardstock for support.  I then used the die cut, removed the protective covering from the top side, attached a metallic disc and then covered the rest with Dazzling Rose glitter.

If you pull on the top tab, VOILA the magic happens and it looks like this!

Check out the video to see how it happens!   There's also a video on Splitcoast Stampers that shows a different way to make the base card.  The end result is the same, but this appeared a little easier to me.
 If you check out my tabs on the top, I've added a little tutorial on how I created this one :)

Hope you enjoyed my little bit of magic.
