Pop it Ups

Hop, Hop Hooray!

November 21, 2015

Hi everyone,

It’s Frances Byrne here today with another Pop It Ups project to share with you. I don’t know about you, but I always need birthday cards especially at this time of year as I give away a lot of my cards to family for Christmas. Today I am playing with the new Lucky the Rabbit Character die set to create a Pop Up birthday card.

Here is how I created my card:

Cut a piece of carrot themed designer paper so it is 4 1/2 inches x 6 1/4 inches. Cut the orange polka dot designer paper at 4 1/2 inches x 5 3/4 inches.

Score the carrot themed designer paper at 1/2 inch from one end. Apply adhesive to the 1/2 inch score line carrot side up and attach to the back of the orange polka dot designer paper. Fold paper on this score line.
Using the Lots of Pops pop up die, centre the die so that the centre nubs line up with score line of the designer paper and die cut. Refer to Karen Burniston’s video here on how to use the Lots of Pops Pop Up Card.
Fold the paper in half again and line up the edge from the Agatha Edges die set to create edge on the top and bottom of the card.
Open up card and pop up all the Pop Up pieces previously die cut on the designer paper.

2. Apply Transparent Double Sided Adhesive Tape to the back of a piece of green card stock large enough to die cut 3 decorative flourishes from the Agatha Edges die set. Die cut. Adhere one of the pieces to the top and bottom of the pop up card. (reverse the third decorative flourish for the front of the card.

3. Cut a piece of orange card that measures 4 1/2 inches x 11 1/2 inches. Score the card at 5 3/4.

Apply adhesive to one side of the back of the pop up designer paper piece and adhere to the inside of the orange card.
Apply adhesive to the other side of the pop up designer paper piece and adhere this to other side of the inside of orange card.

4. Using the Lucky the Rabbit Character die set die cut the following:

(1) Solid Rabbit Body from black card
(1) Detail Rabbit Body from Beige Velvet Adhesive Sheet
(1) Solid Feet from Pink Velvet Adhesive Sheet

Assemble Lucky the Rabbit adding a carrot to it’s hand and attach to the top pop up piece of the card. You can view Karen Burniston’s video on how to assemble Lucky the Rabbit here.

5. Using the Props 7 – Basket die set die cut the following:

(2) Baskets & Accessory pieces from Brown Card
