Arctic Bears by Stampin Up® Pop up Book

I'm so excited for you to see this Pop Up Book Card that I designed. It took me a few tries to get the measurements correct but once I got that figured out it went together really quick.

I love anything to do with animals especially bears! I have to admit I watch National Geographic on a regular basis! I enjoy shows about Alaska, the ocean, Africa, Grizzlies, and of course the Polar Bear. So I had to have the Arctic Bears Bundle!

For this card I used Blending Brushes to create the northern light look on the front here and also for the inside of the card!

I also used a technique I call flicking with Whisper White ink refill and a water painter.

Luckily I did a video of this card so you will be able to watch it. I am also including a link to a tutorial with instructions, card cuts and the template. You will find these after the supply list below!

Note: I did add a piece of Whisper White to the back of the card just in case you want to write a short message and sign your card!

Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think of this card. I hope you like it!

Supply List: Here is a list of everything I used to make this card. I would love to be your Stampin Up® demonstrator if you don't already have one! To order any supplies needed just click on the pictures below!

Scraps to Stunning Cards with Embossing Folders - Simply Elegant - Series 1

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I don't know about you but I have a ton of scrap designer series paper. I think it multiplies all on its own! It can seem overwhelming each time I open the draw and see how much I have.

So I decided I would do a series of cards made from my scrap bin.

For this card I used the scraps I had leftover from my Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper by Stampin Up®. This is beautiful paper and I could not bring myself to throw any of it away. So I had to come up with a design to use this beautiful paper!

Below I will list the card cuts, intructions, supply list and a link to a video showing you how I put it all together.

Card Cuts - DSP = Designer Series Paper

Card Base - Basic Black 51/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

Layer 1 - Basic White - 4 x 5 1/4

Layer 2 - (3) Scraps - different designs from Simply Elegant DSP cut into 1 x 1 squares.

- First Design - 6-8 squares

- Second Design - 6-8 squares

- Third Design - 16 - 18 squares

Layer 3 - Basic Gray - 1 x 4

Layer 4 - Precut sentiment

Layer 5 - Copper Foil Scrap

Layer 6 - Basic White - 4 x 5 1/4

Instructions:

1. Pre cut all your squares

2. Place your first square onto Layer 1 in the center top edge facing it so that it is a diamond shape as shown.

Now you will just lay all other squares forming diamonds leaving just a little space in between as shown. (See video for more exact instructions)
Once you have all of your full squares on you will turn over and trim off any overhanging pieces.

3. Now using a embossing folder (I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Folder) Run through the Stamp N Cut machine. (This gives it an extra measure of dimension)

Adhere to card front

4. Using Stampin Dimensionals adhere the Layer 3 to card front about 2 5/8" from top edge of Layer 1.

5. Layer 4 - Using a pre cut sentiment from the Many Happenings stamp set/Messages Dies.

Adhere ribbon to Layer 3 as shown then
Adhere to Layer 3 using dimensionals.

6. Layer 5 - Using the Iconic Dies cut out the three small flower from the copper scrap and adhere to end of label as shown. ( did use mini dimensionals on the top flowers)

7. Layer 6 - Using the Elegantly Said stamp set stamp the flower and sentiment as shown in Versa mark ink.

Cover with Copper embossing powder
Heat up with Heat Tool
Adhere to inside of card

Here is the video link at the bottom! There are four cards all together on the video this one starts at the 51:31 mark.
