I made my weekly Wednesday video yesterday making a card I seen for quite
some time on Pinterest called a Pop Up Front Step Panel Card. At least
that's what 1 gal called it. But really, I made 2 cards!

This is the card I made on the video (also on YouTube, just click the
link in the side bar). It was an easy version though the hardest parts
were adhering the card together evenly.
I used almost all Fun Stampers Journey products except for my Nuvo
Drops and adhesives. The cool tree and sentiment are from the
Whimsy Trees red rubber stamp set. This is a fun set! I used a
Create-a-Palette and colored it with assorted blue re-inkers to make
my own Kaleidacolor pad. The little wooden snowflake is from my
stash.
If you want to make one you will need a card stock cut to 4 1/4" x 10
1/2" then score at 1/2", 1 3/4", 3 3/4", and 5". The top piece
is 3" x 5 3/4" scored at 1/2" and 1 3/4".
Here's a side view. You can see why you need to adhere things
evenly. I actually give fairly good directions on my video and
some tips.
This tree was stamped using the Create-a-Palette and you can see the
variation of colors I used. I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops - Blue
Lagoon on some of the circles in the tree. If you have Stickles they
would work, too. This card will fold flat and mail as a standard A2
card. The cool print papers are from the Holiday Cheer Prints pad.
This simple version's layers are:
Base back - 4" x 4"
Base front bottom - 1 3/4" x 4"
Top - 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
My 2nd card is much more complicated and elaborate.
One of the cards I seen on Pinterest was by a SU! gal and she made a bird
house out of the top piece. So, I made a house. The animals were stamped
using FSJ's Baby Farm Animals stamp set and coordinating die set. And
the house elements (except for the door knob) I used Sweet Home Accents Die Set. The house roof was made using FSJ's Reversed Banner die set. I
cut it to fit and scored it for texture. The plaid print is from the Create and Bloom Prints pack.
Again, the side view. I made 4 layers of grass to stick my animals
into.
This card is 4 1/4" x 7" so it will need a larger envelope to mail.
I hope these inspire you to give this fun fold a try but watch my video for
more info. I also give a little peek at Spellbinders upcoming Holiday
catalog which goes live Aug. 10 but I do have a link to that on my Specials
page.
