Popping Up with Poppystamps

Hello Crafty Friends. It's Sue here. Our challenge is month is

POP-UP CREATIONS


Here's my card


For my card, I lightly ink blended some white cardstock with distress inks with oval ink blending brushes. I die cut the inked panel with a stitched circle die. I added a die cut, cut with Poppystamps' Thank You Poe Script die with light gray cardstock and glued it to the circle die cut. I found a patterned paper that coordinated with the colors I used and cut it to an A2 size. I made a small pop-up mechanism which I adhered to the circle die cut with double-sided tape. Here's a close-up. 



Sorry, the "pop-up" feature is a bit underwhelming. In hindsight, it might have been better to use an Action Wobbles action spring. However, the circle die cut does "pop" up and will lie flat when in an envelope. For more detail on how I made my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

We'd love to see your "pop-up" creations in our gallery and I'm on the lookout for other ideas of how to "pop-up" my cards. 

Our sponsor this month is Poppystamps. They will be giving our winner a $20 gift card. Our thanks to them for sponsoring our challenge this month.

It is lovely, a subtle pop-up is great for snail mail!
