Pop Up acetate cards

 Pop up acetate cards

stamps used:  Stampin' Up Whale done

I know I have said this before with other card designs, but I really mean it with this one:  It is just FUN!  

Measurments:

base: cut two at 5 1/4" x 5 1/2"  score at 1" on the 5 1/4" side of both cards.

outside layers:  4" x 5 1/4" 

pattern paper 3 3/4" x 5"

basic inside layers: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" x 5"

window sheet strips (for pop up images): cut three at 1" x 3 3/4" trim down to fit inside card with images. You don't want any of the floating images showing outside the card, when it is closed.

Assemble card:

On one of the scored section ... tape window sheet strips equally apart.  Next add more tape or glue and press both scored cards together.  This will create the card.  

Stamp and die cut or punch circle and ovals to tape to window sheet strips that seem to float in the air when you open the card. 

Look close (click on photo to enlarge) at the photos and you can see the floating images on the window sheet strips.

This is a fun card with what I call a WOW factor!  and besides that it is addicting!  You can die cut all your flowers and leaves one day, then another day just make lots of cards, or even as you can see in my pic ... tags.

Below are pics of the card panels with the die cut images on the card fronts.  Do you know what I used to hold the image on the card front?  It is a kitchen item called Press and seal!

If you look close it looks cloudy ... that is the press and seal holding the image. The above pic shows after I die cut out the opening for the card. 

  Below is photo of back of floating images with foam mounting tape.

 

Above is the card front with the press and seal still holding the images onto the card front.  

 

Above you can see the card with the oval cut out.  

I saw this technique a few years ago on Jennifer McGuire's blog. Take a look back in 2019 to see more floating image cards I made.  You can type floating images in my search bar on my blog to see more.
