Nautical Pop-up Card Featuring Authentique Papers with Printable Template

Nautical Pop-up Card Featuring Authentique Papers with Printable Template

Hello crafty friends.  I'm here to share the wonderful surprises of summer with a pop-up card.  

This is a cool card that transforms from flat to a spectacular pop-up dimensional card featuring Authentique's Voyage and Spectrum Collections.  Perfect for mailing. Scroll down to the bottom of the post and you will find a printable template to create your own pop-up card.  

The chipboard tag shown below is from Creative Embellishments ATC Tags Mini Album 
 and slips out from under the hemp cord to reveal a personal note in the back. 

The beautiful tag sentiment was cut from Authentique's Voyage Life Cards .  

The little 3D sailboat button is Buttons Galore's adorable Come Sail Away Theme Button and is a perfect finishing accent placed over the hemp cord. 

This is a view of the card from the envelope.  It's a simple square, flat, seemingly unassuming card.    Give a little squeeze and it pops into a dimensional square.  

Here's a look at the papers used on this card.  It's a combination of the Voyage collection and a sheet from  the Spectrum paper pack.

Here is the over head view of the card.  Each flap of the card has a unique decorative sticker from Voyage paper collection sticker set.

The sailboat was cut from the Voyage paper collections Life Cards and rests on top of a chipboard piece from Creative Embellishments - Star ATC (Artist Trading Coin) Set. 

The chipboard pieces have been embossed with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel - a personal favorite when it comes to heat embossing.  This embossing powder creates a nice vintage looking piece with a bit of gold flecks.  

In the image below, you can see how beautifully finished the chipboard ATC looks with the Ivory Aged Embossing Enamel from Stampendous

This flap also uses a sticker tag from the Authentique's Voyage Sticker set and is also accented with a 3D button from Buttons Galore's Come Sail Away Buttons set.

July 4th Cards - Let's Celebrate

Patriotic Cards 

Hello crafty friends. Time to start  the July 4th Independence Day celebrations.  This holiday is always special  but this year is a giant cause for celebration in our family.  We have some "milestone" birthdays being celebrated by my husband and mother. 

 I am featuring patriotic cards that I will be using this weekend for these special birthdays.     

Here are the Creative Embellishments pieces that I used on the cards.  All chipboard pieces have been embossed using either gold or white embossing powder.

The first patriotic card  is a modified tri-fold card I learned from a friend who is rather crafty herself.  Thanks Billie! 

I used the Creative Embellishments - 4th of July ATC (Artist trading Coins) Set set as a decorative piece to hold the card closed.  

First I backed the coin with cardstock to provide added support and strengthen.  Next, 

I glued half of the chipboard coin to the card and let the other half stick out.  next I glued a second coin to the inside of the card but did not glue the coins together.  

They formed a cool little pocket for sliding the end of the card and holding in place as seen in the image below.

I also added a "pull tab" along the edge of the card to let the recipient know how to open the card. 

This image shows the pull tab on the bottom right side of the card, along with a shot of the double ATC chipboard pieces to hold the card closed. 

Additionally,  Creative Embellishments - Lace Border 6 was heat set with  Super Fine white embossing power and adds a great decorative "bunting" look to the card - keeping with the theme. 

Finishing Accents  - 3D Buttons and Sequins

Need some quick accents to give your projects a finished look and feel?  3D buttons, sequins and shaker mix make for great sprinkles of accent. 

 The cards are embellished with some fabulous 3D finishing touches from Buttons Galore and More including Buttons Galore's Stars Stripes Themed 3D Buttons,  Gold Star 3D Buttons , and Golden sequin mix .  These make for quick, easy and fun accents to cards, home decor projects, and just about anything.

The paper collection used on the cards today is from Echo Park's America paper collection - bold, beautiful and festive.  

Here is the second card, also a trifold but the Creative Embellishments - Star Pieces are keeping the card closed. The second card is equally festive with the Creative Embellishments - Star Pieces as the decorative focal point on the front of the card.  

Thanks for stopping to visit and have a happy July 4th celebration.
