Let's take a break from the fun Pop Up Flip cards and look at a retiring die!!
I saw an over-sized version of this card that I fell in love with! It is a nice combination of retiring (Stitched Lace) and returning (Sweet Strawberry) SU! products!! So, here is my scaled down version!!
Measurements:
- Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 2 pcs 3 3/4" x 5", scraps - for strawberries, blossoms, etc.
- Poppy Parade: 4" x 5 1/4"
To Make This Card:
- Attach Poppy Parade quarter to folded Basic White card.
- Run one 3 3/4" x 5" Basic White piece through the Stitched Lace die.
- With the other 3 3/4" x 5" piece cut a rectange "frame" leaving 1/2" around the edges.
- Attach "lace" to the wrong side of the "frame", then attach over Poppy Parade layer.
- Now, comes the "fun" part! Stamp and punch (or fussy cut) a variety of Berries, Blossoms and Leaves, using the stamps in the set and the Strawberry Punch. I stamped off the "solid" stamps, and used the "details" full strength. For the small flowers, and branch "leaves", I picked up ink and colored lightly with ink and a blender pen.
- Arrange onto the card as shown. (Note: I like to use an odd number of larger items i.e. strawberries. I popped the 2 outside ones.)
- Finish with small pearls in the Blossoms, and a Poppy Parade (ret) knot.
