Supplies

Shaker Frame Die – The Doily

All the Happy Things Stamp Set

Make a Moth Die Set – Betty

Make a Moth Die Set – Twyla

Thin 3D Foam Squares – White Mix

Your favorite adhesive

Cardstock (solid, patterned, glitter, metallic—whatever you love!)

Step 1: Assemble the Moths

Start by putting together your moths. For this card, I used both the Betty and Twyla moths. I love using metallic cardstock for the moth bodies and accents, but feel free to mix and match with whatever cardstock you have on hand.

Step 2: Create the Card Front

Die cut the frame using the Shaker Frame Die and adhere it to an A2-sized card panel. For the main sentiment, die cut the “yay” sentiment multiple times and stack the layers together. Since the die is very delicate, layering not only adds strength but also gives the card a bit of dimension.

Once assembled, adhere the Twyla moth on top of the sentiment. I placed Twyla moth right on the “y” of “yay” and it fits great.

Step 3: Prepare the Pop-Up Card Base

Take a folded card base measuring 4" x 5.25" and place it horizontally. Open the card and adhere patterned paper to the top inside panel.

Fold the card closed and measure 2.25" in from each side, marking lightly with a pencil. At each mark, draw a 1" vertical line. (Refer to the diagram or video if needed.) Use scissors to cut along the lines.

Open the card and push the cut section inward to form the pop-up mechanism. Apply adhesive to this pop-up piece and attach the Betty moth. I like to align the bottom of the moth with the bottom of the pop-up so it folds smoothly when the card is closed.

Step 4: Add the Inside Sentiment

Choose a sentiment from the All the Happy Things stamp set. I used “It’s your birthday!”, but this set truly has something for every occasion and is one I reach for often.

Optional: Add a strip of coordinating patterned paper along the bottom of the inside panel for extra detail.

Step 5: Assemble the Card

Adhere the completed card front to the base and allow it to sit for a few minutes so the adhesive can fully set.

And that’s it—your pop-up moth card is complete! After this, I tend to open and close my pop-up moth card about 50 times to admire my creation (and make sure the pop up works)! But of course, this is optional!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

[Oceans of Joy] Multi-Occasion Card

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set, Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card! I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...

[Hello Beautiful] Patterned Paper Series #1

Okay, I will admit I am a girly girl. and this card made me all kinds of happy. I came across this freebie from All Dressed Up Stamps and immediately had so many ideas. I first gravitated towards a solid cardstock as my mounting base but then decided to have some fun with patterned cardstock. I have lots of patterns but find myself being too afraid to mix and match patterns. Hence, explaining the origin of my "Patterned Paper Series." I colored in the digital image using alcohol markers on white cardstock. I had a patterned paperpad from Recollections called "Get Glam" and used one of the "hello beautiful" sentiments that was already printed on the paper. I attached it with some foam squares to give a little added dimension. Easy right?! I mounted it on a hot pink cardstock and then mounted the whole set on a white and black polka dot cardstock from the same paperpad. Not only do I love using patterned paper as a background, but I also like using it fo...

[Good Luck Critters Rainbow] Time for Tea Designs

Hey all! I'm here sharing another card featuring the Time for Tea Designs "Good Luck Critters" stampset. I first used the "Rounded Rectangle" die set to cut one panel in white cardstock and one in red. I ink blended the white cardstock with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide around the edges. I added some blue splatters for added interest. I cut in the rainbow and cat image from the stampset and colored in with alcohol markers and finished it off with a sentiment Thanks for stopping by!
