Postage Stamp Pop-Up Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #340 whose parameters were include an A7 (5×7-inch) card project, rainbow colors, vacation for element and three in a row for random. I used Waffle Flower stencils, stamps and dies for this card as well as a metal ruler, pencil and craft knife to create the sliding easels mechanism.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Link to Split Slider Slimline Birthday Card mentioned in video.

Cardbase: Start with a 7×10-inch piece of blue cardstock that is scored and fold to form a 5×7-inch horizontal cardbase. Using a 1-inch circle die or punch cut a circle in the direct center of the card so that when it is fold there is a thumb hole in the center of the fold.

Three Slider Easel Pop-Up: Cut a rectangle from blue cardstock that is 6 5/8x 4 3/4-inches. Stencil a border on the rectangle using Waffle Flower’s Postage Collage Airmail Stencil using red and blue inks. On the back side of the rectangle, mark the top and bottom of the panel before drawing a line at its center of 3 5/16-inches. Draw lines 1/4-inch on either side of the center line. Draw lines 1 1/2-inches from both card edges and repeat drawing lines 1/4-inch on either side of these lines. Draw a line that crosses all these lines at 2 3/8-inches. on the center set of lines measure down 1/2-inch from each side of the crossing center line to mark the fold lines for the slider easel. Mark the bottom cut for this center slider at 1 1/2-inches from the center crossing line. Mark the two side sliders at 1-inch on either side of the crossing center for fold lines and at 1 3/4-inches for the bottom cut line. Cut and fold as shown in the video above using a metal ruler and craft knife. Center the panel on the cardbase and mark with a pencil where the thumb hole needs to be cut with the 1-inch circle die.

PULL PANEL: Add double sided tape to the three slider bottom tabs as shown in the video above. Using temporary tape on the front of the panel to secure the sliders are totally flat. Add 1/4-inch wide foam tape to the back at the side edges and bottom edge as shown in the video. (I used 2mm thick foam tape.) Cut a rectangle from blue cardstock that is 5 3/4x 4 1/4-inches. Fit this rectangle into the back side of the slider panel between the foam tape. pull off the backing tape from the sliders. Make sure the top edge of both panels line up with each other before securing the sliders to the back panel as shown in the video. Stamp “Pull” using My Favorite Things Interactive Labels.

The city scenes on the large triangles are made with the Postage Collage Airmail Stencil and Postage Collage City Sunset and Postage Collage stamp sets as shown in the video above. The small triangle’s image was made with the Postage Collage Coastal Stencil and Postage Collage stamp set.

Who is Dorian Robert-Houdin?- A Pop-Up Card

| ullycatdesigns

Just made this pop-up card which answers some of the question “Who is Dorian Robert-Houdin?” It is a thank you to his creator, Gigi Pandian, for writing the tenth book in the Accidental Alchemist mystery series….The Alchemist of All Hallows Eve.  If you like a cozy mystery series with a touch of mystical creativity and world travel, I encourage you to explore Gigi’s work.

CARDBASE: I started with a 5×7-inch purchased cardbase and added the typewriter Courier font “Little Gray Cells” paper (4.5 x6.5-inch) mats as background to the front and back of the card. Inside the panels were covered with 5×7-inch sheets of William Morris glossy paper.

FRONT: The card front is a mock-up of one Dorian’s mystery boards, but this time of himself. 1) Theater poster of his father’s the magician, Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin 2)image of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris 3) Elixir of Life 4) Child’s cape 5) Baking elements 6) Red twine to tie all the elements to the name – Dorian Robert Houdin

INSIDE: A pop-up image of the gargoyle, Dorian, with wings that flutter made using i-crafter’s Heart Hands Wiper Insert mechanism die and hand-drawn wings. The gargoyle image is from clip art and the sentiment was digitally created and die cut with a label die by Karen Burniston.

BACK: The impish face of the statue that came to life.

DO YOU want to learn more about Dorian, the gargoyle?
