I always love the surprise of opening up a card to find a pop-up. Joan has a lot of new Sizzix pop-up dies we can work with. The one I used today is called the "3-D Flower Pop-Up". These are all dies we can use year round.
Here is a picture showing what the pop-up looks like before it is decorated. I used a piece of music design paper, from my stash, for the inside of this card. To give some design above the pop-up, I used the Nellie Snellen "Holly" embossing folder, then used Distress Inks and the Ranger Water Brush to add color to the embossed design. Scissors were used to trim around the top of the embossing. A bird was die cut using the die from the Heartfelt Creations "Garden Romance Collection", and was colored using Distress Inks. It was attached with a piece of dimensional tape.
This is the front of my Pop-Up card.
There are six new Spellbinders "Medallion" dies . These are the coolest dies to play with. You can cut the medallion as I did on this card, right in the center of your card front, or use a backing die that comes with them to completely cut them out. You can use different colors of card stocks for a layered look. For the corners I used the Memory Box "Macarena Corner and stained them with the "Tarnished Brass Distress Stain". The snowflake is from the Cheery Lynn "Snow Flowers" set. I glued on the Twinklets "Diamond Dust" and let it dry, then sponged on the "Tarnished Brass Distress Stain". What a pretty outcome. I know it doesn't show in the picture, but it is beautiful. A Kaiser Craft rhinestone was added to the center.
Under the Medallion, the sentiment from the PaintBox Poppets "Sleigh Ride" stamp set was gold embossed. The pretty border is the Memory Box "Tessatina Border".
