Love me my pop up cards & the White Christmas stamp set is perfect for creating little scenes.
I used the house from the Life's Adventures stamp set, which is a hostess set, but this card would work equally well with the Holiday Home stamp set in the Autumn/Winter catalogue. I've put details of both below. (Incidentally, the Apothecary Accents Framelits & coordinating paper piercing template I used on the sentiment are both on sale in this weeks Weekly Deals!)
I made the starry sky using a clear emboss resist technique. I pressed the Versamark ink pad through the the star mask then embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I sponged Pacific Point ink over the top, & gave the card a quick swipe with a baby wipe to remove the ink from the stars.
With practice, pop up cards are pretty easy. You just need to get a feel for where to make the cuts at the back of your card & how different length cuts create perspective.
Here, my white base card measures 4 1/2" (11.5cm) wide, & the cuts are at 1 5/8" & 2 6/8" (4.2 cm & 7.2cm). I put a stepped cut into the second cut, to pop the car in front of the tree.
