Pop Up Panel Cards

Hi blog friends!

Today I'm excited to show you a 

couple really cool cards.

(click on the pictures to see them larger)

I saw a video on another blog the other

day and had to try making some

"pop up panel cards"

(I'll link to that video below)

First I wanted to make a

get well/ encouragement card.

For the front of the card I stamped 

"Lacy Butterfly"  from 

Eureka Stamps.

I colored it with colored pencils and

fussy cut it.

When I added it to the front of the card,

I used Glue Dots on the body of the butterfly

and put a couple layers of foam tape

under the wings to give dimension.

The exciting part comes when you open the card

and a panel pops out.

The sentiments are from

Simon Says Stamp Titled Banner Sayings

The little flowers are from
TaDa Creative Studios

I have no idea if it is available any longer.

I decided that I should also make a Christmas card

with a pop up panel inside.

I used card stocks from my stash.

Sorry I don't know the name of the stamp set I used

for this card.

The dotted border stamp that I used along the left side

is from Winnie and Walter's 

Scenery; Stripes

All the stamped images were stamped with 

Red Versafine Ink

On this card I didn't use as many layers and it

still turned out beautifully.

I weighed each card and this one would be able to 

go through the mail on a regular stamp,

the other one is much heavier with the extra 

layers of card stock and would need extra postage.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have found some inspiration here

and maybe you'll give this style of card a try too.

I hope you'll stop by again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
