Add an element of surprise to invitations and scrapbook pages with this "boo-tiful" and festive Halloween Pop-up Card! Designer Stephanie Rahmatulla demonstrates how easy it is to accomplish. Materials: 3-4 different shades of cardstock
Multi pop-up die
Halloween-themed character stickers
Border stickers
Adhesive or glue
Scissors, craft knife or paper trimmer
Letter stickers
Pop dots
- Begin by trimming darkest shade of envelope (if mailing as invitation) or desired size (that will complement scrapbook page layout).
- Next, trim second color of cardstock smaller than first so that a border is exposed around the second color. Layer over the first color.
- Then, trim the third color of cardstock smaller than the second to create an exposed border. Use pop-up die to cut pop-up strips into the cardstock (figure A)
- Apply border stickers to all edges of inner pop-up card (figure B).
- Fold three pieces of cardstock (figure C).
- Next, apply stickers to a piece of cardstock and trim around each motif (this prevents the stickers from adhering to surrounding cardstock as the card is opened and closed).
- Test placement of character stickers to pop-ups before adhering. Tip: If, upon closing the card, you find that characters heads extend beyond the card's edge (figure D), you can create a larger base layer as camouflage.
- Apply a small amount of adhesive to bottom back surface of pop-up character ( figure E) and adhere one character to each pop-up strip.
- Adhere three folded panels together.
- Trim a small panel for the front of the card.
- Layer the panel on a slightly larger piece of cardstock in a contrasting shade (figure F).
- Use decorative sticker borders along edge of top layer of front panel.
- Then, use pop-dots to adhere character stickers (figure G) to the front panel (in this example, ghost stickers were used).
- Apply letter stickers for the greeting.
