Pop-Up Flower Pot Card

Hi, Creative People!

Today I'm going to share a tutorial for you on how to make this gorgeous pop-up flower pot card.

As you can see, it fits nicely in an envelope.

There is a band that fits across the base that keeps it closed until you want to pop up the flower pot.

Take the band off, it pops up. If you slide the belly band onto one side of the base, it will hold the card open so it sits flat, as shown below.

 This is a side view of the card.

I'm not even going to begin to pretend that I came up with this design. I totally cased it from the talented Chris Slogar, another Stampin' Up! demonstrator, from her tutorial on Split Coast Stampers. Here is the link to her tutorial complete with a step-by-step video.  

If you don't know about Split Coast Stampers, you need to check it out here.  It is a wonderful resource for card ideas, and there is a Stampin' Up! Gallery with cards listed by the stamp set name used to make them. You just click on Gallery, then Stampin' Up! Galleries.

Now, back to the supplies I used on my card. The base paper is Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper adhered to Lovely Lipstick cardstock. The pot was cut from Old Olive cardstock and embossed it with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.

I used the Daisy Lane stamp set with the coordinating Medium Daisy punch. The daisies were stamp with Sahara Sand on Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped 4 of each one and made each daisy using two daisies adhered together, offsetting the petals. A Perennial Essence Floral Center was added to the center of each daisy.

Using the Timeless Tulips stamp set, the tulips were stamped with Sahara Sand on Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, and Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I stamped 2 of each color of the 2 different size tulips, fussy cut (cut by hand) them out, and adhered 2 together. Before adhering them together, I cut thin 2" strips from Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered them between the 2 tulips to have something to adhere them to the pot with.  I also stamped 4 of the tulip leaves on Granny Apple Green cardstock, fussy cut, and adhered around the tulips.

10 leaves were punch from Granny Apply Green with the Leaf punch. I folded the leaves down the middle to give them some dimension. 

I hope you like this unique card and will give it a try.  If you do, contact me and let me see your version. I'm listing all the supplies below.

Cross of Hope for Easter

Hi, Everyone!

Easter is just around the corner and the Stampin' Up! Cross of Hope Die Set is perfect for an Easter Card. I decided to use a different style for this card that I felt would highlight the cross. Before I reveal the details, let's take a look at the card.

I have also entered this card in the Global Design Project #GDP235 theme challenge which is Spring/Easter.

The supplies for this card are as follows:

Cardstock: 

Pretty Peacock 4 ¼” x 7 ¾” (scored at 5 ½”) for the base, 2” x 4 ¼” for the bottom section, 2 ¼” x 3 ¾” is the piece behind the cross    
Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper 4” x 1 ¾” (bottom), 2” x 4” (top)

Very Vanilla 4” x 5 ¼” inside piece

Stamp Sets:     Easter Promise, Forever Blossoms, Painted Harvest                         

Stamp Pads:    VersaMark, Pretty Peacock                       

Big Shot:          Cross of Hope, Word Wishes, Pinewood Plank  Embossing Folder

Punch:             Leaf, Small Flower

Copper Embossing Powder              

Champagne Rhinestones    

I chose this design from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper because it reminded me of the palm branches representing Easter.  Adhere the larger Tropical Oasis paper piece to the top of the card base and the smaller piece to the 4 ¼” x 2” Pretty Peacock piece. Emboss copper piece with Pinewood Plank embossing folder and adhere to the 2 ¼” x 3¾” piece. Cut the cross from Pretty Peacock cardstock and adhere on the copper foil piece. Adhere the cross piece to the folded card front and the other front piece by lining up the bottom edge on top of the back of the card base so they are even.

Stamp 5 flowers from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in VersaMark on Lovely Lipstick cardstock and heat emboss with copper embossing powder. Punch with the small flower punch (Saleabration punch). Adhere to the bottom of the cross and on the bottom left card front. Adhere Champagne Rhinestones to flower centers.

Stamp 3 leaves from the Painted Harvest stamp set on Pear Pizzazz in VersaMark and heat emboss with copper embossing powder. Punch with the leaf punch and adhere around flowers.

Stamp inside Very Vanilla piece with desired sentiment and adhere to the inside. Cut Happy Easter with Word Wishes dies from Lovely Lipstick cardstock and adhere to inside.

I hope you like this card and have a very Happy Easter!
