AUTHOR: Heather Wright-Porto TITLE: "Pretty" Pop-Up Card DATE: 8/19/2008 07:57:00 PM ----- BODY:

This fold is called the Spring Card since it pops up like a spring board. I downloaded the technique from Split Coast Stampers:(http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/spring_card/).

I love this card. It was relatively simple (with the exception of the flower dying). I really like Stampin' Up!'s Pretties Kit (the flowers and hat pins from that kit were used there).

Instructions

You can find the Spring fold instructions here at Split Coast Stampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/spring_card/

As for dying the flowers, I used Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink refills (re-inkers). I dyed the small flower in all chocolate and the larger flower I added pink to the edges.

Once the flowers are dry, I adhered the pearl to the center of the large flower and the white center back in the center of the small flower.

I added hat pin gems to the top, punched thru the paper, added more to the bottom and then closed the hat pin. I used a Mini Glue Dot under the hat pin to hold it in place.

Lastly, this card has no stamping! I simply used rub-ons for the greeting.
