Standing Pop Up Card – Stamping Sunday

Standing Pop Up Card is my contribution to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop as we unfold Fun Folds in September.

Standing Pop Up Card …

This is a fun fold I have been wanting to try for a very long time. I don’t usually do many cards which require precise measurements … I am a bit of a klutz and always seem to muck it up somewhere along the line … and leave a trail of “not-fun fold” mangled piles of card along the way. But this one is pretty easy … I first saw it on Split Coast Stampers, a great resource for all sorts of Stamping Techniques. The measurements are in Imperial, so I have converted into metric to fit into our standard sized envelope in Australia.

Thoughtful Wishes Bundle …

I have used the Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set and Die Bundle, along with the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper to decorate this very simple fun fold. Measurements are given below.

MATERIALS

Cardstock and Designer Series Paper of your choice / Stamps and Dies to decorate / Inks & Stampin’ Blends for Colouring / Paper Trimmer / Tear & Tape

This card folds flat to fit in a standard sized envelope. The only place to write your greeting on this card is on the back, so it has been decorated ready to write your special message to that dear friend.
