Free Standing Pop Up Card

Today StampARTic had a tutorial for a free standing pop up card. I had seen these before but never made one, so I thought I'd try it.

This is the card opened. I had some K&Co diecuts that I thought would be really pretty standing up in the card. I chose a plain generic medium green CS to make the box, and mat the card with, and a creamy shade to mount on the back of the pop up for messages.

Then I chose a lighter green K&Co DP to make the panels with. There were borders in the DP, so I cut along those. Then I chose more K&Co diecuts and mounted them with dimensional tape.

The pearls at the top are sunflower by Queen & Co and the ones in the border at the bottom are Liquid Pearls.

The top is punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.

This is how the card looks folded and ready to go into an envelope. I don't think they are supposed to be quite as tall as that, but I don't mind it being tall. It was fun and easy to make!
