Earthen Textures Double Decker Pop Up Card

I am just loving the Earthen Textures Bundle!  And, since I am teaching the Double Decker Pop Up Card in club this weekend, I wanted to make a sample using my favorite bundle!  I paired it up with the Earthen Elegance DSP and 2 of our new colors - Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.



Measurements:  

  • Copper Clay (N): 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4" 
  • Very Vanilla: 2 1/4" x 3" (pop up), 3" x 4 1/2" (bottom panel), 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (top panel), scrap
  • Earthen Elegance DSP (N): 5 7/8" x 5 1/4 (cut into 1 pc 1 7/8", left with 4" layer)
To Make This Card:
  • Fold the Copper Clay base in half.  Then, fold the card front back on itself, creating a "Z" fold.
  • Attach larger DSP to back panel and the smaller piece to the front panel.
  • Next, we'll create the pop up mechanism. Score along the 3" side at 3/4"-1 1/2"-2 1/4". Crease well along all score lines creating a "box".
  • Now, flatten that "box" so that the 2 cut edges meet. Place Tear n Tape along the FOLDS (or the entire 3/4" piece if you prefer). Make sure the cut edges do not overlap each other, or prevent the back fold from creasing.
  • Next, place the "box" tape side down on the "inside" of the card (so half will be on top of the DSP), so that the cut edges arenalong the crease of the card. This is best done with the card laying flat/open. Adhere the Tear n Tape down well. (I got in there with my bone folder.
  • Now, to create the next panel.  Stamp the sentiment of your choice in Copper Clay ink onto scrap of Vanilla. Die cut with strip from Something Fancy Dies. 
  • Lay onto panel where desired to determine where to stamp the pot.  Stamp the "pot" in Pretty Peacock ink. Wait to add the label until the card is assembled. (so label doesn't show!)
  • Place Tear n Tape on the "top" of the "box".  Line the cut edge of this panel even with the "Z" panel and centered on the card. Carefully press onto adhesive.
  • Now for the top panel. Attach the last Vanilla layer to the Copper Clay piece. Stamp sentiment in Copper Clay ink turning sideways as shown.
  • Next, stamp the "pot", again, in Pretty Peacock ink. Place a "mask" over the top edge, and stamp the "weed tops" in Copper Clay ink.
  • Attach half of the panel to the "Z" front, so! that there is an even border showing from the bottom panel.
  • NOW, you can add the sentiment with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, so the label doesn't show.
  • Finish with scattered Peacock Rhinestones (ret)
