Welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop.
This Month’s Theme is New/Returning Colours.
For this month’s project I decided to make a Diamond Pop Up Birthday card. I was lucky to attend a Retreat with the wonderful Pip Todman, who was one of the founding members of Stamptastic Friends, yesterday where we made a Diamond Pop Up card.
How I made the Diamond Pop Up Birthday Card.
First I cut a A5 tent fold card base using Boho Blue card stock. I then cut out a mat layer using the blue patterned designer series paper from the Fresh as a Daisy DSP. Next I used the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and Versamark Clear ink to stamp the daisy images onto this mat layer before heat embossing it using Clear Embossing Powder. I then attached it to the card front.
I then turned the card base over and stuck another piece of Fresh as a Daisy DSP to the inside covering both sides with one sheet of DSP.
How I made the Diamond Fold for the inside of my Diamond Pop Up Birthday card.
Using another piece of the blue patterned DSP I cut and scored it to make a diamond. I added two squares of another piece of Fresh as a Daisy DSP and stuck it to the folded squares. Next I cut two squares using Moody Mauve card stock. On one I stamped the large daisy outline in Versamark Clear ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. On the orther square I stamped the sentiment and the cluster of whole daisies again using Versamark Clear ink and heat embossed again using White Embossing Powder.
How I finished off the back of the Diamond Pop Up Birthday Card.
For the back of the card I cut a Basic White mat layer and then I stamped the large daisy outline image using Boho Blue ink and then I stamped the centre using Copper Clay ink to match the inside Designer Series Paper. I then cut a piece of Boho Blue Ribbon and stuck it to the back of the card before adding the stamped mat layer.
I love how easy this card was to make and how amazing it looks when finished. As I have not heat embossed a card for a while I thoroughly enjoyed using this technique again. Why not have a go at doing some heat embossing on a card and share it onto my Facebook page or even email a photo of it to me.
