Pop-Out Card using the “You’er Not Old” Stamp Set

Hi crafty friends 🙂

Today’s card is using the “You’re Not Old” stamp set & Thin Cut Z3653. It’s a very simple pop-up card with the fun element of the old lady with the cake on the inside and a funny sentiment to go with it.

The front of the card is quite plane, as I thought the inside gives the receiver the wow factor.

So here are the measurements, instructions & video:

A Silhouette Card using the “Spruced Up” Scrap-Booking Stamp Set

Hi crafty friends

I just love the way this Silhouette card turned out.

I have taken my inspiration from Samantha Clayton – mixedupcraft.com

So when the Spruced Up Scrap-booking stamp set came out in January I was thrilled to bits, so now I could make a silhouette card but in a smaller size.

I have used the 3″ circle Thin Cut from the Shaker Window & Confetti Thin Cuts, along with a piece of the Stencil film sheet that I cut @ 5″ x 3-3/4″.

So here are the measurements and video:

White Card : 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ score on the 8-1/2″ side @ 4-1/4″

Glacier X5978 Matting Panel: 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″

White Daisy 1385 Front Panel: 5″ x 3-3/4″

Glacier Banner: 2-5/8″ x 5/8″

White Daisy  Banner: 2-1/2″ x 1/2″

Stencil Film Sheet Z4244: 5″ x 3-3/4″

Hi crafty friends

Well its been a while between post as life crept up and got in the way again with our bathroom, toilet & laundry renovations, the arrival of my new grandson Harry and a bad case of just being plane exhausted from all the little thing that kept on creeping up on me.

Well that’s enough of that……

…..So now to the card

This card I’m calling my Peekaboo Shaker Window card.

It”s easy to make and uses the Shaker Window Foam & Acetate Z4310 along with the ‘Oh My Heart” paper CC12011.

For the extra piece of Acetate. I saved all the plastic tops from the Xmas Crackers (Bon Bon) boxes so that when I needed some Acetate I didn’t have to buy any 🙂

7. Peal the paper top only of the foam circle and adhere the extra Acetate circle.
8. Peal away the backing and the extra foam squares.

10. Add adhesive around the edge of the window only and adhere to the front of the card over the top of the 2-1/2″ circle section.
11. cut out the Happy Birthday Shaker Window from the Silver Glitter square.
12. Add adhesive to the back of the Birthday frame and adhere to the top of the window.
13. Stamp the balloon in Candy Apple Ink then stamp off for the second generation and roll the bottom edge back into the Candy Apple ink before you stamp into the inside of the card so that you can see it through the window section.
