Easy Wiper Pop Up Card - Fancy Fold blog hop

It is May and autumn seems to finally have arrived in Cairns. A balmy 28 degrees celcius (82F) and should get down to 15 (60) tonight so we might be able to finally turn of the aircon overnight. Being Danish I really struggle sleeping when the temperature is over 20 (70). Hopefully we have a long winter this year, often it is only about a week of winter in the tropics :-)

This month's fancy fold is a wiper pop up card. I have never made a wiper card before so this was a fun challenge. We used this tutorial by Jacque Williams at StampHappyNZ, and it is super quick and easy.

Here is the card when closed and folds flat to fit in an standard envelope

And here it is open, where it can stand up

I again pulled out some of the new core colours - Pecan Pie, Bubble Bath and returning favourites Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist along with Crushed Curry.

I also used one of our new bundles, which is part of a full suite - the Fresh as a Daisy suite. The stamp set and dies are called Cheerful Daisies and they certainly are cheerful.

My base card is Pecan Pie. I stamped the base card with the smaller daisy in Versamark, which just gives a darker shade of the Pecan Pie.

For the focal point I used the 3 layers of dies to create the daisies. The full flower layer is cut in Basic White, the next in Berry Burst and the top layer in Basic White. The bottom layer has been sponged with Crushed Curry ink and the top layer with Bubble Bath.

I also added some greenery which I cut out of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.

I cut the label from the dies in Basic White and stamped the greeting in Pecan Pie. I thought the card needed something more at the top, so I stamped one of the full flowers in Bubble Back and Berry Burst and added along with some more greenery. 

Finally, I flicked some Wink of Stella and added some extra to the 3 flowers at the bottom.
