Easy Pop-Up Flower Card with a Hidden 3D Surprise

 


Looking for a handmade card that's sure to impress? This easy pop-up flower card features a hidden 3D vase filled with cheerful flowers that springs to life when the card is opened!



In this tutorial, I'll walk you through each step—from creating the card base and assembling the pop-up mechanism to stamping and coloring the flowers using simple two-step stamping. You'll also see how I used the Impressions Plate to create the elegant embossed frame on the card front.


Don't have the exact stamp set? No problem! The pop-up design can be adapted to many of your favorite floral stamps and dies, making it a technique you'll use again and again.

Whether you're making a birthday card, thank you card, thinking of you card, or just sending a smile, this interactive design is sure to delight the recipient.

I hope you'll give this project a try! If you do, I'd love to hear how it turned out. Happy stamping!

Easy Sympathy Card with Inked Floret


Hi Stampers!

It's been a little while since I've shared a project, and it feels so good to be back in my craft room! Today I'm featuring an elegant sympathy card made with the beautiful Inked Floret stamp set and designer series paper.


One of my favorite techniques is stamping directly onto patterned paper. It adds beautiful depth and detail while letting the designer paper do much of the work. The result is a soft, heartfelt card that's simple to create and perfect for letting someone know you're thinking of them during a difficult time.

I hope this project inspires you to pull out your favorite designer series paper and give this technique a try.

 Hi Stampers!

It's been a little while since I've shared a project, so I thought I'd pop in with a couple of cards I made this week.

The first card features the beautiful Storybook Friends Designer Series Paper, which did most of the work for me! Sometimes gorgeous patterned paper is all you need to create a quick and charming card.

The second card was a chance to do a lot more stamping using the Wild Bunch stamp set. It was so much fun bringing all those adorable images to life and creating a completely different style of card.

I hope these projects inspire you to pull out your favorite papers and stamp sets and spend a little creative time in your craft room. Happy stamping!
