Pretty Florals Side Tower Pop Up Card

 I saw this sample using the Pretty Florals Bundle designed by Gala Gilson, and fell in Love!  I'm finding I am really being drawn to the new InColor, Secret Sea! I also love the pop of color with Petunia Pop! And, I discovered that we HAVE done this fold, but just with a landscape orientation!  I love how it turned out!




Measurements:   

  • Secret Sea: 1/2 sheet (base), 3 3/4" x 4 1/2" (front)
  • Florals in Bloom DSP: 3" x 5" - floral (base), 3/4" x 5" Secret Seat dashes (tower)
  • Basic White: 3 1/8" x 5 1/8" (base front), 4" x 5 1/4" (base back), 3/4" x 5 1/8" (tower), 2 3/4" x 3 1/2" (front), scraps
To Make This Card: 
  • Score Secret Sea Base at 1" - 2" - 3" - 4". Crease well, making "mountain" folds. 
  • Next, layer "base" DSP and White corresponding layer together.  Adhere to "base". 
  • Place Tear n Tape on the last, 1" section of the "tower".  Line cut edge with 4" score line, flatten the "tower" and adhere to the back of the card.
  • Now, layer the "tower" pieces together and add to Pop Up Tower, as shown. Set aside.
  • Now, to work on the "front" piece.
  • Score this piece along the 4 1/2" side at 3" & 4". Make "mountain" folds.
  • Place Tear n Tape on the 1/2" area.  Fold both scored areas back, line up the 2nd score line to cut edge of back base and adhere.
  • Leave this folded in place. Fold the "tower" section of the card forward (this is how it folds to go into an envelope). Place Tear n Tape on the wrong side of the "front" and adhere to the tower. Set this all aside.
  • Now, to create the focal point of the front!
  • Run the White piece through the So Swirly Embossing Folder.  Adhere to the front of card.
  • Next, stamp the detailed "Hollyhocks". in Petunia Pop, 3x on a scrap of White. Stamp off the "solid" image and stamp over details.  Or, if you prefer a little more depth, add "graduated" color to the stamp with a Sponge Dauber or Blending Brush, and then stamp onto the detail image.  Repeat 3x.  This really does look cool!
  • Die cut with corresponding die.
  • Next, stamp 3 "stems" in Granny Apple Green. Also, die cut with corresponding die.
  • Assemble flowers together.
  • Arrange onto front as shown, with the 3rd, center flower being Popped Up!
  • Next, stamp sentiment from The Right Words, in Secret Sea ink onto scrap of white.  Die cut with label from the Something Fancy Dies. Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish front with scattered Petunia Pop Flat Pearls.
  • To complete the back of the base, stamp flower/stem directly to the lower left corner of the back piece. Then, adhere to the card back!
