Taylor Swift Inspired Pop Up / Light Up Card | Ralph Tyndall Designs + Hero Arts

Taylor Swift, Inspired, Pop Up, Light Up, Card, Ralph Tyndall Designs, Hero Arts, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty,

Hello friends and welcome back! 

Today's Taylor Swift-inspired card showcases products from Ralph Tyndall Designs. If you're not already following Ralph, be sure to check him out 👉 Here  His card-making style is truly unique, and his ASMR Reels are captivating, drawing viewers in with every swipe and tap. I was absolutely thrilled when Ralph invited me to create some projects with his new product line, and I'm beyond excited to share the creations I've made with you. 


HOW TOs (card recipe/supplies at the end)


To begin, I first die-cut the curtains for the stage using RT Stage Curtain Fancy Die. Next, using one of the RT Stage Curtain Stencils, I added the shadowing to the curtain. To the back of the curtains for extra strength and reinforcement, I glued a trimmed 1/2 inch strip down each side of the curtain panels. 

Now, die-cut the crowd. I used the same die cut from the RT Center Stage Crowd Fancy Die and die cut it out two times and just flipped one so that the silhouettes would all look different when staked together. Trim the back crowd layer to be shorter than the front of the audience. To that back layer, stamp out the sentiment from the RT Center Stage Bundle using white ink and heat set it in white embossing powder.

To make the stage Pop up, I created a couple of springs. One, made from red cardstock matching the curtains, that will rest behind the curtain cutouts, while the other, made from black cardstock, will be positioned in front of the audience. Each spring was cut from paper measuring 5.5 inches by 2 inches and scored at half-inch intervals. Once folded and glued in place, they will effortlessly spring into action, adding dynamic flair to the stage. Set the springs, the curtain, and the crowd aside until the card is ready to be assembled.

For the background of the stage, I used another stencil RT Stage Curtain Stencils to blend out the flooring, masking off the back wall. To make it look like a smokey stage with a spotlight in the center, I used masking tape to create a spotlight effect using Intens-ified Black Ink.

Once the background was done, I stamped the images from the RT Center Stage Bundle set onto the background panel. I used the curtain to make sure all my elements would be in view. Since this is also a Light Up card I punched out three holes where the spotlight centers are and one in the beam above that would be hidden by the curtain. To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of vellum to cover up the holes. Next, I taped down the lights from an EZ Light Unit to the openings of the panel. I then placed the battery in the Unit and secured it to the panel behind where the curtain will be. I then used foam tape to allow space between the panels for the lights, wire, and push button. Remove the release tape and attach the background to the card base.

On a white piece of cardstock, I stamped out what looked like a silhouette of a singer. In this case my  "Taylor Swift." I then die-cut the image using the coordinating die from the set. To the image, I used a glitter pen to add details and color to a sparkly dress, boots, and highlights in her hair. I also had to bling out the mic and stand. Once you are ready to add the singer to the scene, use foam to glue her in place which will also add some added dimension.

Now that all the elements are done, it is time to assemble the stage. Start by attaching the red spring to the top and the black spring to the bottom. Glue the curtain in place followed by the front layer of the crowd. Next, add some thick foam to the back layer of the crowd and glue it in place. Add Taylor Swift to your stage and for a touch of bling I added some gems to the stage's background. I should have done this step before the assembly, but I added some white gel pen details to add some highlights. In hindsight, it would have been a lot easier to do that before these pieces were glued in place.

To the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the RT Center Stage Bundle I also added a couple of the rub-on transfer designs to complete the card.

Cottage Pop Up Scene Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Simply Spring Release, Cottage, Pop Up, Scene Card, Honey Bee Stamps,how to,handmade card,Stamps,ilovedoingallthingscrafty,stamping, diecutting,cardmaking

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

Have you all seen the Simply Spring Release from Honey Bee Stamps? If you haven't check it out! So many beautiful Spring inspired products. Usually, you would have seen a bunch of sneak peeks from me but this time my DT package decided to take its sweet time. Oh well better late than never, right!? 

For my project today I wanted to play with the Spring Cottage Village Dies and create a Spring Scene. If you saw my last Honey Bee project, I also made a pop-up card. I guess I loved it so much I just had to do it again, lol!

CARD RECIPE

  • Die-cut the pieces for the cottage and glue them together. Also die-cut the tree, and the bushes and set them aside.
  • Use the Cottage Countryside Dies to die-cut the background pieces. For the grass area, I separated the pieces and added a cobblestone road using Copic Markers. Set the die-cuts aside as well.

  • For the front panel, die-cut the frame using the two largest dies of the Spring Vine Layering Frames from a white piece of cardstock first, and then the for the background I used blue paper from the Pinstripes & Polka Dots: Spring Paper Pad only cutting out the inside opening. Glue these pieces together to form the front.
  • Next, I created 2 pop-up springs that I scored from a 1-inch wide piece of pattern paper Paper Pad at every 1/4"inch until it folded into an "M".
  • I then glued the springs to the back of the frame. 
  • To make the scene pop, I glued the Cottage Countryside layers to the "springs". I did have to trim off a little of the sides to make the width of the scene match the width between the "springs".
  • At this point, I glued on the cottage and tree.

  • For the background of the card, I used the opposite side of the paper, trimmed it to A2 size, and added it to the card base.
  • Before gluing the card front to the card base I figured out where to add the sentiment. I used a sentiment from Big Time Kindness and stamped it using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink.
  • Then I glued the springs to the card base. 
  • Next, I added some glue to the clouds and slipped them into place.
  • For a final touch and a little bit of sparkle, I added some gem stickers to the corners of the frame.

The cool thing about these pop-up cards is that they have so much dimension but without too much bulk!

I absolutely love how this card turned out and I hope you all do too. I really wish I had a pink cottage like this. I would make it my craft cottage and you all could come to visit and craft with me!

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