Balloon Festoon - Arches Pop-Up Card

This is a fun Pop-Up card made with the Everyday Arches. I love these Arch Dies, and I hope they will be around for a long time. The front arch is "Let's Celebrate," and the very back arch, I put "Happy Birthday" and the balloon. I used the Balloon Festoon stamp set to make this card. The Wonderful Stars Puff Stickers were white, but I colored them with the Daffodil Delight Blends. They really make this card.

Here are my directions:

Stamp Set: Balloon Festoon

Cardstock: Secret Sea, Basic White, and Mixed-Up Patterns DSP

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Everyday Arches, Wonderful Stars Puff Stickers,

Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Tear & Tape

1. Cut three Secret Sea Arches using the largest #1, the third largest #3, and the 5^th largest #5. I tried to number my arches, but I just put a black marker on the odd numbers.

2. Next, cut three arches from the Mixed-Up Patterns DSP (Daffodil Delight stripes) using the 2^nd largest #2, the fourth largest #4, and the sixth largest #6. Adhere to the Secret Sea arches with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. Lastly, cut a #4 for the Basic White for the front. You can also cut a #1 Basic White for the back of the largest arch to stamp another sentiment, “Happy Birthday,” etc. For the little Basic White, ink up the balloon stamp with Daffodil Delight and stamp in the center of it. Then re-ink the stamps for more partial balloons up above the first balloon. Now, take the dots stamp and ink up each one with Daffodil Delight. Also, take the stars stamp and randomly stamp around the balloons with Daffodil Delight ink. Let Dry! Apply the Mixed-Up Patterns on your card.

4. Ink up the Gray Granite ink, stamp “Let’s Celebrate” across the bottom balloon, and attach to the bottom arch. Add the strings with Gray Granite.

5. For the mechanism to attach your arches for the pop-up part, cut Secret Sea at 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” and score at ¾”, 1-1/2”, 2-1/4”, and 3”. Cut another smaller piece of Secret Sea at 3-1/4” x 2-1/2” and score the same. Adhere Tear & Tape to the smallest section, remove the backing, and adhere it to the other side to form a rectangular box for each. The largest rectangular box adheres first, with the seam is at the back (not showing on the front of the arch) by adhering Tear & Tape to it. Center it at the very bottom, lay it flat, and then adhere the middle arch to the top section using Tear & Tape (not the bottom section). Lay it flat. Now add the last arch to the top section (not the bottom section) with Tear & Tape.

6. Lastly, I colored the white Fluffy Stickers with the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. Add them to your arches. They are self-adhesive.

Scenic Coast with Rock Formation

This card was inspired by Ronda. I used it for the inside of one of my cards and then decided it would look great for the outside too. I love using the Everyday Arches with a lot of my cards, so I included it as well.

Inside it says, "I hope it finds you Happy!" The base of the card is Thick Basic White. Then a layer of Pecan Pie and another layer of the DSP in Crushed Curry. Second generation means ink up, stamp on the scrap, then stamp on the card. My full directions are below:

Stamp Set: Sunset Coast

Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Pecan Pie, Basic White, Crushed Curry, Scenic Coast DSP

Ink: Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Everyday Arches Dies, Sunset Coast Dies, Blending Brush, Dauber, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Post-it Notes

1. The base of the card is Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Pecan Pie cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the front of the card.

3. The third layer is the Scenic Coast DSP (Crushed Curry side) cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and adhered to the Pecan Pie layer

4. The Everyday Arches Die is used to cut the Basic White cardstock. It uses the 3^rd largest die.

5. Ink up the rock formation stamp with Crumb Cake ink, 2^nd generation. Then use Pecan Pie, 2^nd generation, over the first formation. Let dry!

6. Now place a Post-it note over the rock formation. Ink up the water stamp with Blueberry Bushel ink and stamp it below the rock formation. Use a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue over the water.

7. At the top of the arch, ink up “Wherever this note finds you…” with Blueberry Bushel ink. On the inside, stamp “I hope it finds you happy!” Adhere the excess strip of the DSP inside.

8. Stamp the sun on Crushed Curry cardstock. Die-cut it out, and use a Dauber in Crushed Curry around the edges. Adhere to the card with a Dimensional.

9. Ink up both sailboats with Blueberry Bushel, 2^nd generation, and die-cut out. Adhere to the water with Mini Dimensionals.

10. Adhere the arch with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Sunset Coast

This is a card that I cased from Rachel Tessman. It is so stunning! I sent another version to a friend/customer to thank her for order from me. She wanted to know how to create it, so I sent the website to her HERE The Designer Series Paper is what is so stunning because it has an Iridescent Foil that I love.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set: Sunset Coast

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White, Scenic Coast DSP

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento or Hybrid Basic Black

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Sunset Coast Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal

1. The base of the card is Basic Black cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 10-3/4” and scored at 4-1/4” and 8-1/2.

2. Cut the 6” x 6” DSP into two sections. One at 4” wide x 5-1/4” long and the other one at 2” x 5-1/4” (which means you will need to cut off at the top or bottom or both to make it 5-1/4” long).

3. Add the 4” x 5-1/4” Scenic Coast DSP to the front of the base. Then take the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes and cut out the center. Set the circle aside.

4. Glue the 2” Sunset Coast DSP to the inside section.

5. Die-cut another largest circle from Basic Black cardstock. Now, take the Sunset Coast Lighthouse die and die-cut it out of the Basic Black solid circle.

6. With a very fine glue tip, adhere to the Sunset Coast scenery circle.

7. Close the card and adhere glue only to the inside circle section that shows. Adhere the silhouette circle of the lighthouse to that section of the circle with a strong adhesive.

8. You can stamp on the outside with “Happy Birthday” or “Happy Father’s Day” from the BBQ Master stamp set with black ink.

9. For the inside: Stamp the solid rock image in Pecan Pie, 2^nd generation, close to the top of the 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White cardstock. Then 2-step with Pecan Pie over it with a detailed image. Cover the rock with a Post-it note. Use Blending Brush with a light gradient of Blueberry Bushel. Stamp the water lines with Blueberry Bushel. Ink the sun in Crushed Curry ink. Ink up the sailboats in Blueberry Bushel, 2^nd generation.

Velvet Meadow with All Aflutter - Thanks

This is a card that was originally made by Debra Harrison. It was so beautiful, I wanted to make one, but I didn't have the flowers to attach because they are currently unavailable.
