Here is the card I made while doing my pop up tutorial.

Technique Tuesday - Pop Up Card

Here is the tutorial for my pop up card I showed in the Blog hop this past weekend. I apologize for the color of the pictures but I have terrible lighting right now and couldn't get the colors right in my photo editor.

Start with 7 pieces of card stock that measure 3 1/2x3 1/2. Set 2 pieces aside. The other 5 pieces you are going to score. Start by scoring from corner to corner on both sides.






Then score on both sides center to center.








After all the scoring your piece will look like this.








Tape one corner box side to the corner box side of the second piece. Do this until all 5 pieces are taped end to end.







Now get the 2 pieces you set aside that are not scored. Tape one end to the outside corner end of the row of 5.







Flip the paper so that the inside is showing and start folding the ends in until you have created a square.







Keep folding the corners in.








Do this until the entire row is folded up.








Take the last piece of cardstock and tape to the inside of the corner square.







Taping the end down








This is what it looks like when the card is open.





Here is what it looks like when the card is folded closed. It does have a bulk to it which is why you need a belly band or ribbon if you want.



Thursday I will share with you the card I made to complete this tutorial. If I missed anything or you still need some help figuring it out just let me know!! If you do use this tutorial please link back the project to me so I can check them out!! I love seeing what you all make with them. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin' Addicts Occasions Mini Blog Hop - Create a Cupcake

Welcome to another wonderful hop hosted by the demo's from Stampin' Addicts!! We are each featuring different stamp sets and accessories from the New Occasions mini!! Better get a pen and paper ready for all the things you will be adding to your must have list (not like I need any help)!!

If you are following the hop in order then you have just come from Barbara's Creative Stampin' Spot and saw all her wonderful project's using Bring on the Cupcake ... too cute!!

I will be showcasing the stamp set Create A Cupcake, this a great set for birthdays and the build a cupcake punch works perfectly with this set. That's one of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! is all the coordinating product. Anyways on to the projects!!

This is a little 3x3 card. it's a pretty simple card and would look great as a gift tag for those birthday gifts. I used the new pompom trim along one side of the card ... it's a fun dimensional little accent!!

This project was almost straight out of the mini catalog. I changed the rosettes to ribbon instead and added the button. I love how every mini and catalog is jam packed with ideas especially when you need something in a hurry!!

This last project is my favorite!!

It's a fun little pop up stand card!! This was so much fun to make!! I hope to make a tutorial shortly to show you all how to put it together! So keep an eye out for it. This card is 3 1/2x3 1/2 and to open the card you just take off the belly band on the right and when you flip the front of the card to the back you clip the silver clip to keep it standing up.

Hope you enjoyed my projects using Create a Cupcake and I hop you enjoy the rest of the hop. The next stop is Mary's Stamp and Scrap which she will be sharing some fantastic idea's using You're a Gem! Happy Stamping!!
