Angela's PaperArts: Father's Day Two Panel Pop Up Card

It's Father's Day tomorrow here in Australia.  I've made this card for my husband who is a fantastic Dad and deserves to be celebrated tomorrow.

This card is a two panel pop up card. Instead of creating the card by manually cutting out all the pieces, I used the Snazzi Scrappin Two Panel Pop Up Card die set. This made it much quicker to create the card, although I did cut a larger card base for the card in white cardstock.

Here's a closer look at the inside of the card.

I've added a white cardstock panel behind the right pop up panel so a message can be written there. 

Other products used on this card include Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing stamp, die & embossing folder bundle and cardstock, Scrapbook Fantasies Island Sands patterned paper. and Snazzi Scrappin's "Happy Father's Day" die.

Angela's PaperArts: Father's Day explosion box

 I'm getting ready for Father's Day this weekend and made this Explosion Box card for my Dad.

When the lid of the box is removed the card sides fall down and the message is revealed. 

I created a 'toolbox' to go in the middle of the card which will be filled before Father's Day. You can easily add chocolates, money or other small gifts inside the toolbox.

Here's a close-up of the centre of the card with the toolbox.

These cards are simple to make but look so effective. You simply need a 12"x12"/30.5x30.5cm piece of cardstock scored every 4"/10.16cm and you cut out the four corners. To make a lid for the box you make it a smidge wider than 4"/10.16cm. It can be decorated to suit any occasion.

I've used a variety of products on this card including Stampin' Up!'s Geared Up Garage stamp/die bundle and cardstock, Scrapbook Fantasies Robot Antics patterned paper, tag & chipboard and Snazzi Scrappin's 'Happy Father's Day' die.

Angela's PaperArts: Floating hexagon pop out birthday card

This floating hexagon pop out birthday card was created for a close family member's birthday a little while ago. 

This card features the Stampin' Up! Country Woods Designer Series Paper which was perfect for the beach/sailing theme of this card. This paper is also eligible for the Stampin' Up! Suite Sale end on 30 June, 2025 where you buy one and get another 50% off. 

Here's a side view of the card so you can see how the embellishments 'floating' above the back of the card.

I was inspired to create my card by Paul Ford's YouTube tutorial. You can see it here. His card and instructions were for a landscape version in imperial measurements. I adapted the concept by creating my own template with metric measurements to suit my portrait card version.

 The Stampin' Up! Suite Sale starts today and runs until 30 June 2025.

For every suite or individual product within a suite that you order, you can get 50% off a second equal or lower priced suite or individual suite product. When you start filling your Cart, the lowest priced items will be discounted first.

TIPS: 

1. Any items in the Last Chance section of the online store which were part of a suite are also included in the Suite sale.

2. If ordering quite a few items, you may find you save more by putting through more than one order to maximise your discount.  This is what I'm doing for my own orders - I'm putting bundles in one order which ensures I get a second bundle discounted and the cheaper items such as designer series paper, ribbons etc. are going into a second order. It may seem like I'm paying a little extra postage, but getting the discounts on the higher priced items rather than one order only discounting the cheaper items actually saves me money. Depending up what you're considering ordering, you may find this works for you too.

Current Stampin' Up! products can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Pop Out Gatefold card with video tutorial

I recently made a Pop Out Gatefold card for my Mum for Mother's Day and thought I'd make a video showing how to create this style of card and share it with my customers.

Here's the inside of the card that's created in the video. It features the Stampin' Up! Kintsugi Inspiration specialty designer series paper, Nested Essentials die set, Beautiful Motifs die set and the Unbounded Love stamp set.

Here's the overview view of the card so you can see its layers and shape.

If you'd like to learn how to make this style of special fold card, here's my video tutorial which also contains the template for cutting and scoring the paper needed to complete the card.
