Pop Up Card - Valentine Flowers

This is the most dramatic pop-up mechanism I have

ever come across.

It's much easier than it looks and no measuring required!

I've used a DL size for my card.

( I like to make it slightly wider than standard,

 I score along the A5 half fold score  line

and it still fits easily into a DL envelope).

 'golics' has made a video tutorial at 'instructables',

here's the link: pop up flowers 

He has tons of fabulous 3D projects.

He's very fast with his instructions so I've included

two download sheets to help:

1) Glue positioning guide

2) Flower positioning guide

The sentiment stamp (miss you) is from Paula Pascual's
'Big Sentiments' set. 

I layered two of the flowers from my

'Six Petal Flowers' download sheet.

Printed onto red lightweight card, cut out and

glittered with black holographic glitter.

The embossed background was made using:-
Craft concepts embossing folder 'Budding vine'

 'LOVE' was a free stamp from a stamping mag

(quite some time ago).

I'll find the mag and post the details -

it has to be one of my most used stamps.

I stamped onto red card using VersaMark and

embossed with 'detail gold' embossing powder.

Glue Positioning Guide

Only use a dot of glue as shown.

If you glue the whole petal the flowers

won't pop up correctly.

Guess how I know that!!!

Cut each sheet into four equal pieces.

Follow golics instructions for folding

You only need seven so you'll have one spare.

Alphabet Sheets - 'Bubble Gum' Blue & Lilac

Here's the last of my

'Butterflies & Dragonflies' decoupage set.

We still have very little, quality, light here in London 

so the image below is a bit 'rainy day'.

  It goes without saying really - these alphabets

will allow you to make any message or name, no matter

how unusual.

I've made the outside & inside lines as simple as possible
so they're easier to cut out.

I have never been able to contain myself when I'm excited
so...

I have THE pop-up of all pop-ups coming next.

It's easy, no measuring and

the pop is unbelievable!!!

I tested it out, on several people,

and it got a WOW every time.

(OK Elaine, compose yourself)...

Just putting the final touches to the samples, downloads,

and link to a brilliant Guy who has lots to share.

Back soon and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
