Pop and Flip cards

Hi everyone,  here is a flip and pop card that I just learned to make. I used the March month stamp set. Every month will have it's own set that can  be used on Calendars, cards and scrapbook pages.  You can find this on Page 40  of the current catalog.  D1998

The inside border is from Kitchen Gnomes

Paper is from Daisy Meadows and the center  butterfly /Daisy Meadows scrapbooking stamp

D2012 or with dies Z3932

Pop and Flip card direction

Ok so here's the directions to make this card.

Start with a regular size card, find a piece of patterned paper 4 x 5 1/4" and glue it to the front of the card, only outside edges.  Cut both layers with a shape, circle, oval , bracket frame what ever you like. 

Cut a piece of paper 3x4" and another piece 3/4" x 2 1/4"  score the 3x4 pc at  1,2,3" 

score the 3/4" pc at 1 1/4" at 1 1/4"  

Also cut a pc of white cardstock at 4x 5 1/4"  Glue this to the inside pc. 

Take the 3x4" pc that has been scored and fold it in half.  Place that pc at the fold with the open toward fold. Glue that underside up to the first fold line centered on the white cardstock. Put glue on the top, up to the first score line and close the card.  Open the card and you should see a pop up box.  

Close the card and at the window on the box glue the 3/4" tab long side to the box. put glue on the short  tab and place the cut out cardstock back in the hole, gluing it to the tab.  Add another layer if you like and then add you image to pop up. Shamrock , butterfly  etc .This image can be above the cut out.   When you open your card, it should pop and flip to the inside. 

Hope you try this card, it's really easy and fun to do.  Any questions let me know in the comments.  

Blessing,

Joyce

Joyful stars Feb post

 Hello everyone,    I regret to inform you that our monthly blog hop will be ending,  I will be posting on the 9th every month and I hope you will continue to follow me.  I have been with Close to my heart for 26 years and I still get excited with new products and new ways to use those products,  

Today I would like to share with you my favorite stamp set in the Jan/Feb catalog. z3917 Page 34.   I also like a lot of other things and our paper is best if seen in person.  

The paper from this set is the mix-in papers,  always a good compliment to any of the featured paper packs,  I added some iridescent confetti to the sky on the one above.  On the one below I just put a white glitter snowflake in his hand. The scallop is a zip strip from the same paper pack.  X9023

Quick easy card.........

 I think this made the cutest Anniversary card for my daughter and husband (8 yrs,)

Sorry the picture is not that good, but see how cute they are!

I hope you enjoyed this artwork and if you want to see live videos on my facebook private group, just go to my private FB page @ Joyce Houck Close To My Heart and ask to join.  You can also email me at StampN4Joy@aol.com.

Blessings,

January 2021 Joyful stars blog hop

 

Welcome to Joyful Stars Blog hop for 2021  

It's a new year 2021 Let's start out this year being creative. This hop showcases artwork from talented CTMH consultants (Makers) Look for the highlighted name a the bottom of this post and hop to the next blog.  

This month I want to share with you the National Papercrafting month special. You can find this in the new Jan/Feb catalog on page 42 and 43.  

HOME SWEET HOME

This kit comes with a frame or you can use one that you have, my frame was bigger, so I glued the boarders on the edge and there is a gap at the corners, which I don't mind.  If I had it to do over again, I would buy the whole kit, it's cheaper to get it all at once.  

 

The circle in the word home has magnetic images that can be interchanged. Here are some examples:

As you can see you get way more than 12. 

Here is a side view, so you can see the dimensions of the snowflake.  

Now is the time to hop to my friend Joyce's  blog
