Hello and thank you for popping by. I hope you like the project that I am sharing with you today.

It’s Wednesday, so that means it is a blog hop day.

This week’s theme is Fancy Fold Cards. This is the first time I have made a Pop Up Cube card. I was inspired by a card that Lisa Curcio shared recently. Her instructions were so easy to follow.

I chose the Expressions in Ink Suite for this project. The Specialty Designer Series Paper is simply stunning. I love the gold elements that have been incorporated into the watercoloured images. For the DSP panels, that have been adhered to the cube base, I added a Gold Foil layer behoind the green and gold. This helps the DSP pop. Of course, I needed to add some of the Gold Metallic Pearls to emphasise the gold features even more.

The birthday greeting is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and was stamped in Polished Pink. It was cut using one of the Bloom Dies, from the Art in Bloom Bundle. Then I cut an Evening Evergreen panel to pop behind the greeting. It is attached to the inside of the card using a small circle of the same coloured cardstock which is folded in half. This creates a hinge so the greeting sits in just the right place.

The flowers and leaves were stamped and die cut. Then I ‘painted’ on some Versamark refill and used the Heat & Stick Powder to lay down some Gilded Leafing. I looped some gold Simply Elegant Trim behind one of the flowers.

The card folds down so that it can slide inside an envelope. I forgot to take a photo of the back of the card to share with you. It has two panels of Basic White cardstock. One is stamped, in Evening Evergreen, with ‘best wishes’ and both have a cluster of three small flowers stamped in Polished Pink.

I think that I will need to make more of these cards using lots of different paper designs and stamps.

Make sure that pop by to see what the Freshly Brew crew have created.
