Hello
Awww I love butterflies and just had to do another project using them. I had wanted to have a go at a pop up acetate card for a while. Fortunately I was able to see some on Pinterest, although they were done some time ago. So I have done a version with some of Stampin'up latest stamps and dies. The Butterfly Brilliance stamps and the Brilliant wings dies which come as a bundle so a saving of 10%when purchased.
Requirements for this project: Calypso Coral cardstock, petal pink cardstock, DSP, Stamp and dies as above, stamp for sentiment, die cutting machine ( large one need for this die set) window sheet , inks and colouring tools, I used blends for mine, double sided tape and glue. Embellishments as desired.
To make the card I cut a piece of cardstock 10 1/2 inches x 5 7/8 inches
Score with long side at top of scoring board or trimmer at 4 1/4, 4 3/4, 5 1/4, 5 3/4 and 6 1/4 inches the folds then will make a holding area for your acetate .
Burnish all folds and make mountain and valley folds for the outside see photo below
For the inside see photo below
Adhere the folds on the outside of the card I found double sided tape is good for this as strong and not messy.
Now on the inside of your card place 2 strips of double sided tape as per photo do not stick these together yet as you will need to prepare your acetate for this.
Before I did the centre feature of my card I decorated the front and inside of mine. For this card I used ta piece of the ornate Garden speciality paper as it matched in with the colour cardstock I chose.
I matted and layered a piece of petal pink cardstock cut to 5 5/8 x 4 inches and a piece of DSP 5 3/8 x 3 1/4 inches. I did this twice as I wanted a layer inside my card to.
I then decorated the outside of my card using the butterflies ,ribbon and pearls.
Inside of the front side of the card I adhered my second matt and layer as on front of card.
I attached 3 butterflies to separate pieces of 1/.2 inch strips of acetate and attached to one side of the card, the 2 inch x 5 7/8 piece of acetate needs to be inserted prior to the inside folds of the card being sealed.
after sealing and decorating inside below
This card design can be used for flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, balloons and all sorts of fun cards.
Have a try and show me how you got on.
Until next time
hugs and blessings
