Free-standing pop-up card

I've been thinking about old favorites lately.  A past favorite technique is definitely the free-standing pop-up card.  It's a showstopper!  I combined it with a neglected stamp set: Fifth Avenue Floral.  Using this set with the SAB items (DSP, ribbon and brads) really gives it a fresh new look.  I stamped the flowers on two of the DSP patterns, cut them out, and then added Dazzling Details to the flower centers.

Making the base of this card was a piece of cake using the Simply Scored board!  You can find a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.

Free standing pop up card

For this week's workshop wow challenge, I made a free standing pop up card. I first made one of these a couple of years ago. They are so cool and much easier to make than you would think. Here is a link to a document with the instructions and a link to the original thread on SCS.

The base is scored in several places and then folded to make a collapsible base. There is a card that pops up through a slit cut in the center. You can see on my base here that I adhered the pop-up to one end and added sticky strip to the other end. This is a case where sticky strip is definitely good to use so the card will hold up well.

Sorry I missed posting on Wednesday! Life is pretty hectic these days. I have lots going on both at work and at home that makes stamping time hard to find. I'll do my best, so bear with me!

Happy stamping!
