Create a Pretty Pop Ups Card using the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pop Ups Dies!
This pretty pop ups card is much more easy to create than you might think – all it takes is one pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to make this intricate looking card!
The Pretty Pop Ups Dies are a set of dies that create partial die cuts, and they emboss too! There’s additional individual pieces that can be used to accent the main dies.
Honestly, the thing that takes the most time on this relatively quick card is “fluffing up” the cut sections! I started by running my die brush tip attachment for my Take Your Pick Tool on the backside of the die cut, then used my fingers or bone folder to make a more firm crease.
I wanted a more monochromatic look for this pretty pop ups card, but I wanted that colour accent to catch your eye – a pop of colour for the pop up!
I used Very Vanilla as the main cardstock, then the pop of colour comes from Polished Pink Cardstock – though obviously you could choose whatever colour you prefer! I cut the Accent cardstock slightly smaller than the die cut piece to keep the focus on the hint of colour through the die cut areas, rather than having a coloured border around the edge (which I often use as a design element).
I always like easy and effective projects – so this ticks the boxes for me! If you want a project that takes a little more time and effort, though, may I suggest that you sign up for my Fantastic Fancy Folds Online Class? It’s currently in Pre-Launch pricing – so you save $10 off the regular $30 (Canadian) price if you register by the end of Wednesday 10 August. The class page will be available on Thursday 11 August. It features four different fun folds that look impressive but aren’t as difficult to make as you might think…though they will take a bit longer to create than this Pretty Pop Ups Card! (but since I’m the one offering the class, it’s still not going to be overly complicated!) Click on the link to get more information about the class and to register, and as always, please contact me if you have any questions!
