Here is my project-

 

And when it's popped up-

I always try to make my husband special anniversary cards, and this beautiful die by Poppystamps is one of my favorites. The anniversary poem is hidden by the front of the card when it's propped up, but easily accessible. For more information on this card, please join me at Just A Nutter Paper Crafter.

Make a pop up card and join the fun!

 

 

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.

Pop up JOY

 Hello,

It's Cindy here, sharing a couple of holiday pop-up cards created with non-holiday die set.  My cards features Poppystamps Fern and Daisy Pop-up Easel set (the die cuts were sent to me by my team mate Linda W., thanks so much Linda!).

Here's my two cards:

Although the Holiday Joy die I used is retired, these other ones are great for your holiday creations: Double Joy, Joy Freestyle Script, & Stacked Joy.

To see the full supply list, please visit my blog: Escape To Stamping.

And I do hope you're inspired to play along our August challenge: Pop-up Creations.  Our sponsor this month is Poppystamps.  Challenge winner would receive $20 gift card to their store.

Have fun creating!!
