Choose Your Own Adventure Shaker Pop Up Cards Tutorial:  Ciao Bella Majestic Dream                  & G45 Season to Celebrate

Hello, Friends!  Today we have a really fun shaker Pop Up Cards Tutorial to share with you.  Yes, its a Wonderful Wednesday Choose Your Own Adventure!  This means we’ll be using two different paper collections to create two cards with the same card “recipe”.  Our collections this month are the lovely Ciao Bella Majestic Dream and the vibrant Graphic 45 Season to Celebrate.  

Sound like fun?  Let’s dig in!

Graphic 45 Season to Celebrate Shaker Pop Up Card Folio

Save

Our first card is made with Graphic 45’s Season to Celebrate Spring papers.  Vibrant pinks, purples and greens remind us of flower beds filled with blooming iris, azaleas, dianthus and fresh green leaves.  I’m partial to the tea theme, myself.  But then you knew that, didn’t you?

Each card folio measures 5″ x 7″ with a 1/2″ spine.  This gives us lots of room for a dimensional pop up scene inside the card, and room for a pocket, too.

This is such a cheery, easy to make card!  I think you’ll enjoy following along with the step by step video tutorial posted below.

Ciao Bella Majestic Dreams Home Sweet Home Shaker Pop Up Card Tutorial

I love this Reneabouquets beautiful board frame as a shaker element!  Here’s how I colored it to match the sweet house image inside the frame:

• First, use a blending tool to add a heavy layer of Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Ink over the entire frame surface.
• Next, sprinkle liberally with clear embossing powder and heat.
• Add large wooden buttons to the corners of the frame and you’re done!

That was easy, wasn’t it?

Here’s a peek inside the card.  To make the pocket on the pop up flap, simply trim around the top of a 6×6 image, score the sides and bottom and adhere.  Now you can tuck sweet little tags and journal cards inside along with a packet of poppy seeds.

Flip the pocket flap down to reveal this dimensional pop up scene.  Oh, how I love opening a pop up card!

Although I do not share a step by step for this card, it is made in the same way as the G45 Season to Celebrate version.  Just change out  your papers, and you’re good to go.
