Wildflower, Yikes!

 Wildflower, Yikes!

Check me out over Blank Page Muse blog today with a pop up, or it can be called a pop out card.

Once you do one of these cards you will be addictive to this card design. 

The wildflower is unique, and quirky along with the fun pattern paper.  Of course, with this quirky flower I just had to use a bright green ink to show it off.

First I wrote up these measurements for the pop up mechanism. Next I drew pictures to go along with my notes.

Measurements/Basic instructions:

1.  On A2 card 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" adhere pattern paper.

2.  die cut out section.  save cut out shape to adhere to pop up mechanism later.

3.  cut strip of cardstock 1 1/2" x 4"  score at 1", 2", 3".  fold on all scores.

4. on folded strip add glue (or favorite adhesive) to one of the sections with glue on the inside of the card at the fold.  see template/notes #2 drawing.  When card is closed you can see the strip through the opening.  Open card and fold the strip in half. see template/notes #3 drawing.  Put glue (or favorite adhesive) above fold of card.  see template/notes #3 drawing.  Close card to attach pop mechanism to card. 

 Next adhere die cut shape you saved from before to the pop up mechanism when card is closed.  Good idea to stamp/decorate the die cut shape before adhering to pop up mechanism.  Finish decorating to complete the card.

Dreamer Doll 1

 Dreamer Doll 1

I have an announcement ... I'm happy to tell you I joined the Blank Page Muse (BPM for short) creative design team.  Also included with BPM is their sister site I Brake for Stamps (IBFS for short).

I created a couple of z-fold cards using this artistic style art doll.

Card #1 classic black & white card

Card #2 heat embossed resist card

basic instructions for heat emboss resist card:

1.  stamp and heat emboss image with clear ink and powder.

2. ink blend colors over the embossed images.

3.  buff off images with soft color to make the image pop.

4.  layer card panel onto card.

Both of these cards are Z-fold cards.  Z- fold cards are easy to create with just a couple of scores, then fold.  

Here is a template for a Z-fold card

This template shows the size of the card along with the scoring measurements.  Also shows how to fold the card...first fold is a mountain, and the second is valley fold.

Stamps and products used on these cards:

The accordion fold extension which is the mechanism is accordion folded ... valley, mountain fold.  Glue valley fold to first fold of the base card to create the extension.  Adhere the 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" card inside the fold of the extension mechanism with the card going to the inside of the base card.  Adhere the 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" card on top of the first fold of the extension mechanism.  Again with the card to the inside of the base card.  Repeat on the other end of the base card with the extension mechanism and layering cards.  All that is left is decoration the card.
