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.

Voyage Details Cardstock Stickers - Authentique - Voyage	Ships At Sea Paper - Authentique - Voyage Nine	Authentique Paper - Spectrum Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Denim

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.

Pop-Up Twist Birthday Wish Card

Today I'd like to here to present a pop-up twist card featuring two of my favorite product combinations - beautiful fun papers from Maja Design in Sweden and wonderful Creative Embellishments chipboard.

Since this card is a pop-up twist card, it's a bit of a surprise when it's opened.  Add on the chipboard and it's a real birthday treat complete with birthday cupcake. adding charm.

Here are the Creative Embellishments chipboard pieces I used on the cover of the card.

Flourish Dragonflies

Small Sentiment Words

What I especially love about the Small Sentiment Words chipboard set is the variety of sentiments and the number of cards, projects you can create with just one set.  Such a value.

Here is a close up of the front of the card.  I simply painted the chipboard pieces white to pop when added to the bright red Maja Design papers.

I have used  Maja Design's "Life in the Country" collection on my card. The collection is bright and happy and feels like a sunny day.  That is exactly the feeling one should have when opening a birthday card.  Well that's the feeling I like to have.  

These are the papers I chose: 

In My Flower Bed (both A&B side of paper)

Summer Kitchen (both A&B side of paper)

Strawberries with Ice

As I mentioned, this pop-up twist card offers some surprises. 

These are the Creative Embellishments  chipboard and veneer pieces that I used as little surprises on the inside of the card.  I tend to keep the chipboard simple with ink and paint.  Nothing too fancy.  

Heart Balloon Set

Cupcakes

Veneer Conversation Hearts

The pop-up twist die is from Karen Burniston's die collections.
