Thankful Garden Pop Up Panel Card

We made one of these cards in my 2nd Wildflower Birthday Card class, but I wanted to try another sample as well! This one is another design by Terri Gaines. It uses our new Timid Tiger cardstock, with the retired Countryside Corners Dies, and the Thankful Garden bundle from the Online Store. The DSP is from last season's SAB, Bloom Impressions.

Measurements: :

Timid Tiger (N): 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/2" (Pop Up mechanism), 2 pcs @ 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" (Pop Up panel),
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" (Pop Up panel layer, outside embossed layer), 2 1/4" x 5 3/8" (front), 3 1/8" x 4 3/8" (stamped image), scraps
Bloom Impressions DSP (ret): 2 pcs @ 3" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/8" x 5 1/4" (front)

To Make This Card:

Score Pop Up mechanism at 1" - 2" - 3". Make "mountain" folds, forming a tube/tower.
Attach Tear n Tape, lengthwise, to both ends of the "mechanism".
Fold "mechanism" in half, with adhesive strips out. Remove tape backing and place into folded Timid Tiger card base with cut edges of "mechanism" flush with the card crease.
Check card by opening it up to see "tower/pop up" in the center.
Next, adhere DSP to inside/back and inside/front of card.
Die cut shape in Timid Tiger (I used Countryside Corner Dies) for Pop Up and for front layer, also cut next smallest size in White.
Stamp sentiment in Basic Gray onto White layer, then mount onto one of the Timid Tiger pieces.Then, attach base to "mechanism".
Stamp full flower in Memento Black ink onto piece of white. Stamp smaller flower and 2 small leaf clusters onto scraps of White. Color all with Blends (instead of using the masks)
The smaller flower and 2 leaf clusters get attached to inside Pop Up, as shown
Now, for the front. Adhere the DSP to White strip and then to front of card, as shown.
Next, run the White layer through an Embossing Folder. I used the retired Distressed Tile. Mount onto other Timid Tiger layer.
Add colored flower to this piece with Dimensionals. And then add all to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with Wink of Stella on the flowers and Timid Tiger Flat Pearls for flower centers.

Scenic Panoramic Accordion Cards

There are so many things that you can do with our Scenic DSP's! They can make card making fast, fun, and easy...and oh, so beautiful! This is an example of just that. This inspiration comes from Tami White. She has created several samples using these directions and the Beautiful Gallery DSP. For me, the biggest "issue" is that it uses 2 of the same pattern of DSP papers, which makes it difficult to make in a class! So, please enjoy it here, and try it for yourself!

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow: 5 1/2" x 11"
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 1 5/8" x 5 3/8", scrap
Beautiful Gallery (N): 2 6" x 6" pcs - same pattern

To Make This Card:

Score the Mossy Meadow card base at 1 3/4" - 3 1/2" - 5 1/4" - 7. Accordion fold, crease well, and set aside.
In order to have a continuous scene, cut the 2 sheets of DSP, as follows.
First trim both pieces to 5 3/8" wide. With the first sheet, cut from the left side 2 pcs @ 1 5/8" (set aside, in order). (You will not need the rest of this sheet)
Now, take the 2nd sheet and cut from the right side 3 7/8". (You will not need the rest of this sheet, either).
Start with the first piece removed, and place on far left panel, then add a White strip, then the next piece from the first sheet, then a White strip, and lastly the largest piece of DSP.
Close it into place, and you still have an awesome panoramic card!
Finish with a message of your choice from the More Messages stamps & die, and scattered Pressed Flower Motifs.

Panorama Pop Up Fun Fold Card

So, I was looking for a fast, fun, and easy Fun Fold Card for class this month. Susan Campfield to the rescue, again! She calls this a Panorama Pop Up card. She has several designs using this fold, but I picked this version to try, first! (Stay tuned to more ideas, I love this fold!) This one uses the new Florals in Bloom DSP along with the new, Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. So, here's my take on her design!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 4 3/4" x 4" (embossed piece that's behind), 1 1/2" x 7" (will cut in half for top & bottom pop up pieces), 2" x 7" (center pop up piece), scraps3/
Strawberry Slush (N): 3/4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Florals in Bloom DSP (N): 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (center pieces - will cut as go to maintain pattern) 1/2" x 5 1/4" (inside strip) (large floral); 2 ps 1/2" x 2 3/4" (will cut as go) (Strawberry Slush sm print)

To Make This Card:

Take the 2 pieces for the Pop Ups, and score @ 3/4" - 1 1/2" - 5 1/2" - 6 1/4". Cut the 1 1/2" wide strip in half @ 3/4". Crease well creating a "valley fold", "mtn fold", "mtn fold", "valley fold", across the strips. Set aside.
Run 4 3/4" x 4" piece through the new, Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. This is a "directional" folder, so the embossing needs to go across the 4 3/4" side, or widest side.
Next, remove 1/2" from each end of this piece, keeping the pattern intact (i.e. keep track of which end goes on which end). Set aside.
Now, back to the Pop Up strips. Starting with the top, narrow Pop Up strip, place adhesive on the wrong side of the 3/4" square on the left side, line up into the left corner of the folded White card base (the fold is on your left). Adhere.
Repeat with the remaining narrow Pop Up strip and the bottom left corner.
Then, add the 2", center Pop Up strip, centering between the 2 Pop Ups.
Fold the 3 strips back out of the way, and then adhere the larger Embossed piece to the front. Then, continue with adhering the strips to the right side, in the corners and centered in between. The card base is done!
Now you can add the remaining Embossed pieces to the seft and right ends, continuing the pattern of the folder.
Next, take the larger of the 2 DSP strips. Cut across, removing 1/2" from top and bottom.
Lay out, keeping the pattern intact. Start with the top and adhere first piece to the top, wider piece to the center, and remaining piece to the bottom. You can flatten the Pop Ups to adhere these DSP pieces.
Repeat with the side patterns. Removing 1/2" from the top and bottom, and adding to the sides...
For the inside, layer the 2 strips together, and adhere to inside of card.
Stamp sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink and die cut with largest tag die from the Mixed Labels dies in the Online Store, and add over strips.
To finish the front, stamp sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink onto scrap of White. Die cut with smallest Mixed Labels dies. Mount onto White medium label from these dies as well, with Dimensionals.
Finish with Strawberry Slush knot, and scattered Strawberry Slush and Pretty in PInk gems.

Scenic Mystery Stamping Card

I love our scenic DSP papers for creating quick, gorgeous cards, and our new, Beautiful Gallery doesn't disappoint! And, I have always loved this sheet from this paper pack. It's beautiful when paired with the dies from the Sunrise Sailing bundle! The card layout is actually a design from TX Sharon's Monday Mystery Stamping from April 28. Be sure to check it out!

Measurements:

Misty Moonlight: 1/4 sheet, 2 1/4" x 10 1/2"
Basic White: 2" x 5", scrap
Adhesive Sheet: scrap
Secret Sea (N): scraps
Beautiful Gallery (N): 5 1/4" x 6"

To Make this Card:

First, you're going to want to decide which part of your scenic DSP you are wanting to use as your "focus" on the front flap. This piece is 2". The other 4" you will use on your quarter piece! (Each design you may choose to cut differently). For this version, I removed 2" from the left side of the DSP. That way, I had a "clear" spot to place the "sailboat".
Adhere the 4" piece to the Misty Moonlight quarter.
Fold the 11" strip in half. Adhere 2" DSP piece to the front of this flap. This will fit front the fold to the bottom cut edge, so it lines up with the DSP on the card base.
Center and adhere this piece to card base
Add White layer to the inside, and stamp sentiment in Misty Moonlight Ink.
Die cut the "sails" in White and the "mast/boat" in Secret Sea cardstock.
For the "seagulls", adhere adhesive sheet to wrong side of Secret Sea cardstock and die cut. (All three are on the same die, but they are so thin, the adhesive sheet works best!
Assemble the "sailboat" as shown, and adhere to card flap.
Add "seagulls" where desired.
Finish with scattered Holographic Resin Dots.
