PWCO BLOG HOP and Pop-up card tutorial!!!!


Introducing Zach the Baseball Player!! Isn't he the cutest!! I decided to have a little fun with him and I created a pop-up card.

If you've come here from Cabio's blog, you're on the right track. If not, be sure to start at the beginning at the PaperWorks Blog.

Zach the baseball player's little buddy from the opposing team is a derivative of another stamp in the collection, to be revealed at the end. I can't tell you what his true form is yet, but you can see how versatile these stamps are. Maybe you can guess what he's supposed to be??


Make sure you head over to Steph J's blog next to see what she has in store for you and be sure to comment on everyone's blog along the hop for a chance to win all 6 new stamps that have been released today!!!

POP-UP CARD TUTORIAL:

In case you'd like to see how to create your own pop-up card. I've created a tutorial for you,
this is my first ever tutorial so if there's anything you need clarified, just fire me an email jlaszlo4@gmail.com and I'll help you out:

Supplies needed:
Score tape,
1x 5.75"x11.5" piece of cardstock,
1x 5.5"x11" piece of cardstock,
1x 5.5"x5.5" piece of patterned paper,
stamps and embellishments.

Take your 5.75"x11.5" piece of cardstock and score it down the middle. I lined it up at the 1/2" mark and made my score at 6" to get the center line.
Next I took my 5.5" x 11" piece of cardstock and scored it's center line as well. I then folded the cardstock down and made score lines at the 1" and 1.5" mark about 2" long and again at the 4" and 4.5" mark about 3/4" long.

I then cut my card stock along those score lines and folded them in, like the photo below.
On the back side of the cardstock, I added score-tape along the edges,
and adhered the inner cardstock to the outer cardstock piece.
Now to add your patterned piece of paper you cut it at 1" and 1.5", 2" long and again at 4" and 4.5", 3/4" long.
You then adhere the patterned paper to your inner piece of cardstock, making your cuts with the pop out section.
Then add your stamped images...
...and embellish as desired.
