Stampin’ UP! Garden Poetry Sneak Peek Pop Up Block Thanks with Video

Good morning and happy Sunday!  Hope your weekend is going well!  Today is put-a-bale-of-hay-in-the-stall day so…I’m hoping it’ll maybe be a smidge warmer.  Fingers crossed!

I’ve got a cool fun fold card for you today – it’s called a Pop-Up Block card and I’ve used mine to showcase the new Paradise Garden bundle and coordinating Garden Poetry DSP – both coming on 3 March in the Online Exclusives – on a pretty thank you card.  Take a look see:

 

 

I first saw one that SU Demonstrator Cheryl Dorsey – who was kind enough to share the measurements with me so I didn’t have to turn my engineer brain on! 🙂

I started with a 4 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock that I scored at 2″ and 4″ on the long side and folded as a z-fold (mountain, then valley).  I adhered a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of new watercolor-y Garden Poetry DSP to the large back panel and a 1 7/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of the same DSP – this one with the pretty ombre leaves – on the front z-panel.

I put the back panel on next.  I inked the large leaf from Paradise Garden in Crushed Curry ink then used a Sponge Dauber to daub the ink in (make it less intense).  I used a second Sponge Dauber to add Pumpkin Pie ink near the center portions of the image.  I tried to blur the lines between the colors.  Then I stamped it in the corner of a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock.  I stamped a Paradise Garden sentiment in Shaded Spruce and adhered it to the back of the card base with Liquid Glue.

To make the pop-ups – I cut three pieces of Shaded Spruce cardstock.

The first, 3 1/4″ x 5″, I scored at 1 1/2″, 3″ and 4 1/2″ on the long side.  I folded all the score lines in.

On the middle large section, I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 1 3/8″ x 3 1/8″ piece of Garden Poetry DSP.  Then I put Liquid Glue on the first section and snugged it up to the 4″ score line on the card base.

I closed the card over the top to adhere it into the card base.

Then I put Liquid Glue on the narrow end panel…

…folded the block…

…and closed the card base.

That got the first pop-up block set.

The remaining blocks went the same way!

The second pop-up block is 2″ x 4″ – scored at 1″, 2 1/2″ and 3 1/2″.  The Garden Poetry DSP piece is 1 3/8″ x 1 7/8″, adhered to the middle panel with Liquid Glue.

The final, and smallest, block is 1 1/2″ x 3″, scored at 1/2″, 2″ and 2 1/2″.  The Garden Poetry DSP piece is 1 3/8″ x 1 3/8″, adhered to the middle panel with Liquid Glue.

You can see how the blocks pop up.

And how it looks from the top!

For the front, I stamped three small Paradise Garden flowers in Poppy Parade ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut them out with the coordinating Paradise Garden die.

On another piece of Basic White, I stamped the thank you sentiment in Shaded Spruce – and then cut it out with the larger banner die in the Paradise Garden die set.

To make the leaves, I once again inked the large leaf from Paradise Garden in Crushed Curry ink then used a Sponge Dauber to daub the ink in (make it less intense).  For one leaf, I used a second Sponge Dauber to add Pumpkin Pie ink near the center portions of the image.  For the second leaf, I used Poppy Parade ink for the second color.  On them both, I tried to blur the lines between the colors.   Then I cut them out with the coordinating die in the set.

I adhered the leaves to the front panel of the card base with Liquid Glue.   Then I added a flower with Liquid Glue.  I adhered the sentiment with Liquid Glue – being careful to not get it anywhere other than the front panel.  Then I adhered the final two flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some solid Crushed Curry dots from the new Garden Epoxy Dots (part of the suite and coming on 3 March) to the flower centers and three flowerdy Crushed Curry dots (same set) on the back panel – and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got a Crushed Curry and Poppy Parade leaf on the front…

..and a little more Garden Poetry DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Okay – this is such a fun fun fold, don’t you think?!  I love all the movement – and the fact that it stands on its own! – and the real estate for decorating!  It’s a perfect starting point for the new Paradise Garden bundle and beautiful Garden Poetry DSP!

I hope you like – and are adding the suite to your list for 3 March!  Or – maybe you want it right now!?  And – how about a free Stampin’ Positioner at the same time?!  Well, join Stampin’ Up! this month and you can select this – or ANY product! – to add to your Starter Kit PLUS get the new Positioner FREE!
