Noble Peacock Pop Up Front Step Panel Card - in Pretty Peacock

And this was the favourite of the Noble Peacock papers cards... as the Pretty Peacock colour is causing many a swoon around these parts...

Click here for the Tutorial and the Blueberry Bushel version...

And note again that I will use Granny Apple Green (instead of Old Olive) for this card in the future... still co-ordinates with those foiled papers ... but brighter, lighter and more on trend!

Everything Amazing and Foils for Friday!

So my ladies are loving the Noble Peacock foiled papers... with 3 of the class groups requesting them to be used first... which made my life somewhat easier for a change!

So another series for you... starting with a (A6ish ) Landscape Pop Up Front Step Panel Card (or Flat Pop Up for short!)  as my ladies are still really loving these cards too...

So a card tailor made for our Stitched Rectangles frames... and featuring Everything Amazing to send a strong positive congratulations sentiment! Suitable for teens, men and the ladies too... so a truly versatile card for a change!

Metallic Edge Ribbon coloured care of Stampin Blends markers... in Light Old Olive here... though I did switch to Light Granny Apple Green in subsequent makes as that kept things just so much lighter and brighter... and young at heart...

Magnolia Blooms "Congratulations" on the top die cut using the Stitched Rectangles dies too...

Please visit the full tutorial for the A6ish portrait version of a Pop Up Centre Step Panel Card here if you need to see the steps for such a Pop Up card step by step! With the photos to help...

And before I post a quick tutorial ... an admittance... my card just fits in a standard C6 envelope ... but it wouldn't fit in a standard US A2/medium envelope...  And depending on where you end up sticking your top panel... it may not fit in a c6 envelope either... Neither will it fit if you have embellishments sticking up over the top of the front panel (now there is a hint re another one I have already made!!!)

So use your envelope when sticking your card/embellishments together... Though you can always rescore your envelope where required, re-fold and have less of a flap... yes I have done that from time to time!!! Or use a Square envelope.... Or even make a custom envelope if you still have your scoreboard...

And a last minute apology... as (my) time is very very short in the short term at the moment... so I can't convert to US card sizings... but I will come back to do that when I can...

Craft Spa Recipe
Blueberry Bushel 14.8 x 21cm
Old Olive (but I would prefer Granny Apple Green!) 10.5 x 11cm
Noble Peacock Paper Blueberry Bushel 14.3 x 7cm
Foil Blueberry Bushel 14.3 x 5 cm
Noble Peacock Paper Old Olive 10 x 2.5cm
Quilted Embossing Folder

1. Score LANDSCAPE Blueberry Bushel card at 10.5, 13.5, 16.5 and 19.5cm
2. Score LANDSCAPE (check 11 cm along top- not 10.5cm!!!)  Old Olive panel at 1 & 4cm
3. Mountain Fold all folds...
4. Roll & stick main card base (recommend dry run first!!)
5. Emboss Blueberry Bushel Foil panel & trim PORTRAIT in half at 2.5cm
6. Adhere all papers.

7. Adhere front panel ...  Note that I lined this up/stuck this differently to that in the Full Tutorial  (and so I definitely recommend a dry run first!! ... especially as I haven't got the chance to redo and take a photo!)

As I adhered the bottom onto the base step first... with the bottom of the Old Olive section about half way up the base step...

And then closed the card up... with the 2 top sections folded over... and so that the top of the Old Olive front section is about 1 cm above the top of the base card (not lined up with the top as in the other version)

8. Decorate as necessary

Very Versailles Flat Pop Up Card

Another very clean & simple version of the Pop Up Front Step Panel card (aka Flat Pop Up Card as I also saw it called yesterday) |

And sorry but I will have to be quick with my share today... as we have a lovely heatwave going on in the UK at the moment... and this room with the PC is in full sun at the moment... and so VERY hot!

So this time I have used my new Very Versailles... along with the fabulous Daisy Lane... and my Gray Granite/Daffodil Delight/Whisper White colour combi...

More details on the daisies here...
