It is time for another fancy fold blog hop and this time it is a double decker pop-up card.
It is another easy fold to make and it is only a few little bits that make it extra fancy. The card base is a standard card size with an extra score to make it a Z-fold. adding a little box to the inside an extra layer makes it a double decker pop-up.
I used this tutorial by Sue Campfield, which is easy to follow and has a few great examples.
For my card base I used Basic Black cardstock. I dry embossed 2 smaller pieces of Basic Black with the dots from the Basic 3D embossing folders (available as online exclusive only) to give a bit of texture to the 2 narrower sections.
On the 'inside' layers a piece of Lemon Lime Twist with a piece of Pretty Peacock Designer Series Paper from the Daisy papers. The 'b-side' of these papers are great to use with other stamps/bundles than the Daisy suite as they are more neutral.
The pop-up has a piece of Basic White, which i stamped with the flowers from the Playing in the Rain stampset and coloured these with Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist Blends.
The front panel is Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White layered. I stamped the greating in Pretty Peacock directly on this piece and added some Lime Lime Twist ribbon from the Zany Zoo suite.
I stamped the little turtle from Playing in the Rain in Mememto Black ink and coloured with Pretty Peacock and Lemon Lime Twist Blends. I cut it out with the matching dies and adhered with dimensionals to the front after adding a bit of Smoky Slake blend to ground the turtle.
This was a super quick card to make and a bit of fun.
I have been wanting to use this stamp set for a while, but never had a reason, so was good to get it out and inked up.
