Hi friends! Today I’m so excited to share this fabulous pop-up card I created as part of a workshop by the amazing Liz O. I was absolutely thrilled when she decided to offer this workshop again!
I followed Liz’s step-by-step instructions (which were incredibly easy to follow and so well put together), but I couldn’t help but add my own little twist. I dry embossed the front panel with Basket Weave Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! using Rose Red cardstock to introduce some extra texture and dimension. I think it really brings the card to life and adds that special touch, don’t you think?
For the floral element, I used the Craft-A-Flower Zinnia Layering Die Set because I love them for their vibrant colors and they belong to the daisy family and who doesn't love daisies?! The layers come together so beautifully with the help of Altenew’s keyhole system, which makes it super easy to line everything up just right. It really takes the guesswork out of layering and allows the intricate details of each petal to shine. Once assembled, the flower truly comes to life with such dimension and elegance—it’s definitely one of my favorites!
Before assembling the flowers, I made sure to incorporate the beautiful color palette from Altenew's Inspiration Challenge into my card design. To bring out more depth and dimension in the flowers, I softly blended Frosty Pink and Cosmic Berry from the Red Cosmos Fresh Dye Ink set. This gentle, seamless gradient added a soft, natural touch to the petals, giving them a rich, warm feel while allowing the layers to truly shine and make the design pop!
The sentiment was die-cut from gold metallic cardstock for a touch of elegance and again from rose red cardstock to tie in with the overall color scheme. I layered the two pieces together using liquid glue to add some dimension, creating a subtle shadow effect. Once assembled, I adhered the sentiment directly to the bottom of the card, giving it a bold and eye-catching finish that perfectly complements the rest of the design.
A huge THANK YOU to Liz for sharing this workshop and continuing to inspire the crafting community with her amazing talent. I had so much fun putting this card together and can’t wait to try another version soon!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day filled with creativity and joy!
