Winged Pop Up Card

 I saw this design on Mixed Up Crafts.  It was for a 5x7 card, so I wanted to change it up so that it was the regular 4.25 x 5.5" card.  It took a few scraps of paper, but I figured it out.  This was the final design.


Materials Used:

  • Night of Navy cardstock:
    • 1 piece 5.5 x 8.5", score on long side at 4.25"
    • 2 pieces 3 1/8 x 5 1/2", score on short side at 1/2"
  • Matting (I used Misty Moonlight) cardstock
    • 2 pieces 3 x 3.75"
  • Designer Series Paper (in photo above, I used Countryside Inn)
    • 8 pieces 1/2 x 1 7/8"
    • 2 pieces 3/4 x 2 1/4"
    • 4 pieces 1/2 x 3/4"
    • 2 pieces 2 3/8 x 5 1/4" (for wing)
    • 2 pieces 1 3/8 x 5 1/4" (for outer edge)
  • Basic White Cardstock
    • 2 pieces 2 3/4 x 3 1/2"
  • Stamp set of your choosing
  • Coordinating Ink


For the video tutorial, I used the Adventurous Sky stamp set and coordinating designer Series Paper - Take to the Sky

Latte Love Fun Fold card

There is the Cafe Latte suite that is available in the Online Exclusives.  I have been wanting to make something with this suite for a bit.  The dies coordinate with some of the paper which is how I cut out the piece of the top of the coffee cup on the front of the card. The dies that come with this suite are amazing.  And this coming from a non-coffee drinker :)


Materials used:

  • Early Espresso cardstock: 5.5 x 8.5", score at 4.25 on long side
    • there is another score line from the center score line to the 2" mark - this is explained in the video
    • scrap pieces of cardstock for die cuts
  • Lemon Lolly cardstock: 4 x 5.25" (2 pieces)
  • Basic White cardstock: 3.75 x 5"
  • A Little Latte designer series paper: 3.75 x 5"
  • Latte Love stamp set
  • Latte Love dies
  • Early Espresso ink
  • Adhesive Backed Swirled Dots
