Tutorial: Pop Up Bicycle Card

I love the Pedal Pusher stamp set that we were able to get FREE during Sale-a-bration this year.  I designed this pop-up card for my March stamping class and wanted to share the instructions with everyone.  It is easy to make but packs a great wow factor!  If you place a qualifying order by Thursday, March 31st you could also get this stamp set FREE!  Just visit my Stampin' Up! Online Store today!

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Score a piece of 11” x 4-1/4” Basic Black card stock at 2-3/4” and 5-1/2”

2. Adhere a 2-1/2” x 4” piece of Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack to the top of the card (small fold)

3. Stamp a piece of Very Vanilla card stock with the ‘I’m here for you….’ stamp from the Pedal Pusher Sale-a-bration stamp set. Punch out using the Extra Large Oval Punch and adhere to the top of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

4. Tie a 1/8” Black Ribbon around the top of the card.

5. Stamp the bottom of a 5-1/4” x 4” piece of Very Vanilla card stock with the bicycle and the basket from the Pedal Pusher stamp set.  Using watercolor pencils and a Blender Pen, color the images. 

6. Punch out three balloons using the Party Punch Pack and adhere above the bicycle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. With a Black Stampin’ Write Marker, draw strings from each balloon.

6. Stamp let me pedal for a while on a piece of 1” x 4” Very Vanilla card stock. Punch out both ends using the Banner Triple Punch.  Adhere above balloons using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

My Grandson's Birthday Card

I wanted a fun card for my oldest grandson -- Matt will be 11 in a few days.  It seems like yesterday when we welcomed our first grandson into this world.  What a wonderful day that was!  

The card I came up with uses the Tree Builder Punch for the clouds and a few scraps of designer series paper for the kite.  I also used the B.Y.O.P stamp set.  I did run the piece through an embossing folder before adhering it to the front of the card.  After it was finished I tucked a little gift card inside.  I think he's at the age where what's inside is better than the card itself, so the sentiment says it all!

Curtain Fold Card

I've been playing around with a special fold that I've seen all over Pinterest.  It is called the Curtain Fold.   I want to teach it to my group of stampers at one of my upcoming Stamp Camps.  It is a little more complicated than some of the folds we have done in the past but the finished product is really pretty.  I made this card for my mother "just because..."  If you would like more information about my monthly stamp camps, please contact me at stamping@karenhaden.com.

Let's Get Organized

Hey fellow crafters, are you like me and always searching for clever, creative ways to organize your craft area?  I am always looking for ideas to make my life a little easier.  Here are a few I found on Pinterest.

 

I love this idea of using a wine rack and a few inexpensive glasses to hold Stampin' Write Markers.  I usually keep mine in the original package but I do like the idea of arranging them according to color hues.

 

 

 

Look closely at this clever idea.  It is the side of a baby crib and is used to hold fabric.  I would like to turn one into a magazine rack to hold all my Stampin' Success Magazines!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you have some wall space, why not turn a decorative frame into a Baker's Twine holder?  I love this idea!

 

 

 

I hope you find these ideas useful to help you get organize!  And if you have some organizational ideas, please send them to me at stamping@karenhaden.com so I can share them with my readers!

 

Happy Stamping,

Karen
