Hello friends! Thank for joining me this Monday for an interactive pop up Christmas card with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies! Pop ups are one of my favorite cards because of the fantastic opportunity to bring the magic from the front of the card to the inside with an interactive element! It's a bit more work, I consider it creating two scene cards at once but the result makes it all worth it!
Santa and his reindeer from Ready, Set, Snow was stamped along the top edge of a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The snow/stars border from the Snowy Backdrops was stamped along the top edge of the background with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink was applied over the embossing to add a blue sky.
The Stitched Mountain Borders was die cut from smooth white cardstock, lightly inked with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink and adhered to the card as shown. Snow caps were die cut from white glitter cardstock and adhered to the tops of the mountains.
The Forest Border Die was die cut from smooth white cardstock, the trees were inked with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink and the border was adhered to the card front. Two additional "snow" borders were die cut using the Stitched Hillside Borders Dies, lightly inked with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink, and adhered to the card front as shown.
A greeting from the Beary Happy Holidays Stamp Set was stamped along the bottom edge of the front of the card with black ink.
The ice skating polar bear, ice, hearts, and fish from Beary Happy Holidays, the stocking hat from Critters in the Arctic, and the snowman from Ready, Set, Snow were stamped on smooth white cardstock, colored in with Copic Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.
The trees from Ready, Set, Snow were stamped with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink, embellished with a Marvy Snow Marker and adhered to the scene as shown.
A layer of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen and Glossy Accents was applied to the ice.
For the inside of the card I followed the same steps for the sky, mountains, and forest tree border.
I stamped Beary Happy Holidays Stamp Set greetings with Chili Pepper Ink and Versafine Onyx Black Ink to the inside of the card.
I die cut the Stitched Hillside Pop Up from smooth white cardstock and lightly inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink before adhering the pop up to the inside of the card.
Images from Beary Happy Holidays , Cheery Christmas, and Critters in the Arctic were stamped on smooth white cardstock, colored in with Copic Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.
The tree, ladder and ornaments from Cheery Christmas, were stamped with Chili Pepper, Plastic Flamingo, Mermaid, Sunflower, Noble Fir, and Walnut inks.
The images were adhered to the pop up layers as shown. Glossy Accents was applied to the fishing hole, hearts, and ornaments for a glossy finish.
