Since I designed this card, I have seen several similar cards on social media and Pinterest. I wanted to use the gorgeous Faith Collection bundle to make a pop-up Easter card and this is what I came up with. The card has a pop-up central cross that folds flat for posting.
To make this pop-up Easter card you will need:
- Basic White card base 21cm x 14.8cm (8½” x 5½”)
- Copper Clay cardstock 10.5cm x 8cm (4¼” x 3″)
- Copper Clay cardstock crosspiece 2.5cm x 8.5cm (1″ x 3½”)
- Lemon Lime Twist (if using) 3cm x 14.8cm (1″ x 5½” )
- Scraps of Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White for the sentiment and leaves
- Unbounded Love stamp set and dies
- Faith Collection bundle (stamp set and dies)
- Timber embossing folder
- Balmy Blue and Copper Clay ink pads (and Lemon Lime Twist if blending the base background)
- Blending brush
- Daffodil Delight blends
Score the card base at 10.5cm (4¼”), fold and burnish.
Use the blending brush to add some Balmy Blue to the sky area, over approximately two-thirds of the card front. Don’t make it too uniform!
Either die-cut a border from the Lemon Lime Twist piece (I used a retired Elegant Border die) or blend Lemon Lime Twist across the bottom of the card if you prefer. Stick your die0cut piece across the bottom of the card front if using.
Stamp the wooden cross twice in Copper Clay, one on either side of the card front. Without inking again, stamp the cross on the inside of the card as shown:
Then stamp your sentiment inside the card in Copper Clay. Stamp two of the large flowers from the Faith Collection either side and colour using Daffodil Delight blends.
I also stamped and coloured the same flowers to decorate the envelope as you can see in the main picture above.
To make the pop-up cross, score the large Copper Clay piece on the short side at 1.5cm and 2.5cm on each side (½” and 1″).
Run both Copper Clay pieces through the Cut & Emboss machine using the Timber embossing folder.
Fold the score lines backwards and burnish lightly with your fingers.
Mark the centre of the card front in pencil at 7.4cm (2¾”). Add tape to each edge panel of your cross. Adhere one edge to the centre line. Remove the tape from the second edge and stick down on the other side – fold the pop-up cross flat to make sure it lines up. See the video if you are unsure about this.
Add the embossed cross piece to the cross.
Die cut the larger circle and three leaf clusters from Lemon Lime Twist card. Die-cut the smaller circle from Basic White.
Stamp “Faith” in Copper Clay on the small Basic White circle and stick it to the Lemon Lime Twist circle. I sued a dimensional, but you may prefer to stick it using Tombow for postage cost reasons.
Stick the leaves where you want them behind your completed sentiment then stick to the centre of the cross.
Your pop-up Easter card is now complete!
