Easter Joy Pop Up Basket

 I found this darling card by Meg Loven that utilizes one of the "panels" in the Easter Joy DSP, with a fun pop up basket inside! I haven't done a "regular" pop up card in ages, so this was a nice refresher! Too much fun!




Measurements:  

  • Pretty in Pink: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1" x 6" (pop up), scraps
  • Easter Joy (N): 1 Panel cut to 4" square, 1 1/4" x 4" (eggs), 3" x 4" (basket print)
  • Basic White:4" square (inside)
  • Shy Shamrock: scraps
  • Lemon Lolly: scraps
  • Peach Pie: scrap
  • Crumb Cake: scraps
To Make This Card:
  • Trim 1 1/4" from front of folded Pretty in Pink card base. Toss this piece.
  • Add trimmed "panel" to card front.
  • Adhere White, then "egg" DSP to "inside" of card.
  • Score "pop up strip" @ 1 1/2" - 3" - 4 1/2". Crease all score lines in "Mountain" folds. 
  • Next, fold strip in half, so cut edges are together. Place adhesive on the 2 end pieces - i.e. front and back of the end areas.
  • Place strip on the inside of card with cut edges towards the fold, and about 5/8" from the bottom of the card. Note: You might want to check to make sure your inside die cut will not show.  These are the measurements for using the "basket".
  • Now, die cut the "basket" from "basket DSP.
  • Die cut "grass" and "stems" from Shy Shamrock, and "daffodils" from Lemon Lolly. 
  • Arrange these pieces in "basket" as shown.
  • Finish with die cut "bow" in Pretty in Pink.  Note: These pieces could also be cut from the Pastel Shimmer Cardstocks!
  • Carefully place finished "basket" onto "pop up" piece, so edge of basket just misses the inside of the card front.  Check to make sure nothing is showing before permanently adhering!
  • To finish the front, Stamp "bunny" in Early Espresso Ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock.  Die cut  with corresponding die.
  • I added a little Pretty in Pink ink to the image with a Q-Tip, and then added it to the front with Dimensionals.
  • Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto strip of Peach Pie, and angle cut the ends.
  • Add to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with the tiny eggs from the Easter Embellishments and Pretty in Pink Flat Pearl for the "bow" "knot".
