 Pop Up Card

'Under the Sea'

by Jane Royston for Cleverprints

Hi and thank you for visiting. 

Today's blogpost is a pop up card which folds flat for mailing, although any amount of embellishments may be added for effect. Stamps and papers are from Jane Royston's latest designs for Cleverprints - 'Under the Sea' collection. 

Materials:-

• Card
• 'Under the Sea' Background Paper 
• 'Nautilus' and 'Jellyfish' Stamp sets
• Ink Pad - Versafine Onyx Black
• Sparkle Pens (or Quickie Glue Pen and glitter)

Instructions:-

Step 1

Cut Card 1 to measure 10ins x 5ins and score along the long edge at 3/4ins, 1and3/4ins, 4 and 1/8ins and 5 and 1/8ins. Add red liner tape.

Step 2

Cut Card 2 to measure 5ins x 5ins and score at 3ins and 4ins. Add red liner tape.

(Metric  Card 1 - 26.5cm x 17.5cm scored at 2cm, 4.5cm, 10.5cm and 13cm. Card 2 - 12.5cm x12.5cm scored at 7.5cm and 10cm.) 

Step 3

Cut panel a tad shorter and narrower than scored areas - from background paper and adhere to card base as shown. Repeat for all visible sides.

Step 4

Repeat with smaller card and attach over, ensuring the card folds flat when attached. 

Step 5

Cut card topper to measure 2 and 1/2ins x 4ins and stamp Nautilus.

Step 6

Stamp a second image onto a 'sticky note' and cut out to form a mask. 

Apply over nautilus on card. Stamp Jellyfish tentacles along base and top of card. Remove Nautilus mask and colour. (Alcohol markers used here.)

Step 7

Add detail with sparkle pens, glue pen and glitter etc. 

Add chosen sentiment. 

The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy your creativity.

Best wishes,
