Pop up White Christmas


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.

Stampin' Up! Perfect Couple stamp set


Although it contains several bride & groom type sentiments, consider using the Perfect Couple stamp set (133197) for general wedding stationery too.

Here I've stamped & heat embossed the champagne glasses for a wedding invitation response. 

The diamond ring & "I do" stamps from this set would look equally stylish for wedding invitations & even engagement parties. Heat embossing is quick & gives a crisp, professional finish. Excellent if you have a lengthy guest list & need to mass produce.

The envelope is made using the Simply Scored board (122334) with the diagonal insert plate (125586).
