Christmas Cardinal Scene Pop-Up Frame Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and happy Monday. To all my American friends, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I am thankful for YOU! 

Today I have a special card inspired by the amazing Jennifer McGuire. She shared this Pop-Up Frame technique a few months ago and I thought it was brilliant and had to give it a try with the gorgeous Make It Merry Release from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin I die-cut all the pieces for the Layering Bells Dies, Lovely Layers Winter Birds and the Lovely Layers Winter Greenery and pieced them together.
• Next, I created the frame for the top of the Pop-Up using the Layering Vintage Labels A2 Frame Dies.
• I then glued the scene together onto the frame.
• Embellish using a white gel pen and add Prisma glitter to the foliage for your snow.

• To create the pop-up, I cut 2 pieces of paper that measured 5.5x1 inches and scored them at every 1/4 inch. Then accordion fold each piece and glue them to the sides of the back of the frame. These will create the springs for the pop-up card.
• For the background, I used the Kaleidoscope 3D Embossing Folder and then added some splatters using the Bee Shimmery Liquid. 

• Glue the springs onto the background, and once dry add the background to a card base.
• Stamp the greeting from the Home for the Holidays set in white ink and heat set it.
• Pop it onto the card front.

• To embellish the card further, I added True Pearl Stickers and Make it Merry Gems.
• To the cardinal's beak, bell, and berries I added glossy accents.

The cool thing about these pop-ups is that they do press down nicely and can be mailed. This one is a bit bulky so I am sure it will require extra postage. 

I hope you were inspired by my Christmas Cardinal Scene Pop-Up Frame Card. Thank you to my uber-talented friend Jennifer McGuire for this inspiration. I am sure I will be making more of these pop-ups in the future!

Thanks for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Christmas Gift Card Tag | 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 - Day 21 | Studio Katia

Hello friends and Happy Saturday.

Welcome to Day 21 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 For those of you that love to make tags this event is for you so make sure you check it out over on Tracey's Blog. There are lots of prizes and giveaways from all the Sponsors.

Today I will be sharing a Christmas Gift Tag featuring products from Studio Katia which happens to be today's Sponsor for the event.

TAG DETAILS

To begin, I die cut two of the tags from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1, one for the front of the tag and one for the backside.

To the front tag, I stamped a random pattern using the SNOWFLAKES stamps and then heat embossed them in Silver. 

Next, I stamped out this cute snowman from the HAPPY SNOWMEN set, colored it in using Copics, and then die-cut him using the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN DIES.

I then stamped out the sentiment from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER onto black cardstock using my new favorite white ink and then heat set it using white emb. pwd. 

To finish off the front of the tag I then embellished it using some ARCTIC BREEZE PEARLS. At this point, you could stop as the front is complete, but I wanted to take this one step further and turn the tag into a gift card holder as well.

Now for the back part of the tag... using the other panel I previously die-cut from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1 I ran the die-cut again through the die machine this time to create an opening to slide the gift card through with the coordinating dotted die. 

Next, I stamped out the to and the from with the lines using the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER stamp set. 

The last step is to glue both layers of the tag together, ensuring no adhesive gets into any area that the gift card is to slide through. 

Make sure to stop by Tracey's Blog for all the details on her 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 Event. Here is a list of all the Sponsors from this year. 

I hope you got some inspiration from this simple Christmas Gift Card Tag.  

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
