 Hi everybody it's Anne here thank you for watching today so I'm going to show you how to make these really cute pop-up cards so this one here you just pull the top and then up pops the little kitten so this one was a little bit different actually made this during a live demo you've got this one here where I've not added the kennel in the background so you've just got the sky and then you can see the little pup that pops up from the grass to play with his friend and then this one here again is that kennel you just pull the tab and up pops another little puppy there to say hello to his friend have a poor summer birthday really easy to make so let me show you how okay so the dies I'm using are from the six by six and five by seven pop-up die sets you get both of them there depending on what size card you want to make I'm also using the dies that coordinate with the perky pooches stamp set here so you'll see all of these dies here will cut most of these stamped images out along with the main puppy image and you also have this huge grass stamp which will coordinate and line up perfectly with the top of the die there so we'll talk about that in a moment and then there's also the cat here which is the cute kitten set and you get the dies there you can see all on the back and again I've just used her in one of those cards I'm probably going to use her again in this tutorial so first of all you want to cut the main five by seven die that comes in this die set here so I've just run that through with some of my black cardstock and what it will do is it will cut a perfect matte layer for a five by seven card blank which I'll be sticking it to at the end but you'll see it gives you these two perfectly placed slots you then also want to cut two of the pull tab now depending on the weight of the cardstock if it's a 300 gsm then one will be enough but I have been doing two with most of the cards just because it really does strengthen that pull tab when you pull it up and down so just die cut one or two of them depending on your card weight next you're going to grab your pull in you're going to slide it through the top slot there and then you're going to bring it down so it comes out the bottom there okay now that is ready for you if you've just brought the dies that do this this is ready for you to pop anything you want in front of this and stick anything you want on here so that it pops up and that's what we found a lot of people were doing when we released this just before Christmas lots of people were then adding their own things from their stash to make the pop-up cards so now what I'm going to do is add this it was like an addition set so you've got the pooch but this will also work all on its own so ignore all of the pop-up piece you can now lay this grass down you could have your little puppy here you could pop another puppy behind the grass you don't always have to make the kinetic style cards that we've got it with here but imagine this is any shape size as long as it covers that pulley and whatever you're hiding behind there then you can use it so I've die cut the grass which is this large one here and that's going to sit in front and then I've also die cut it again but what I'm going to do with this one is I'm going to trim it down so I have a little bit down here so now I'm going to ink up that large stamp of the grass and I'm going to cover all of this section here so you'll see that the blades here will line up with the top so I'm just going to line this up lay that one down like so I'll just bring that up a bit so you can see it you get all that detail you don't have to add this and if you haven't got the die then you'll just be stamping this onto your cardstock then I'm just going to offset it a bit and stamp it again I'll do this side and kind of join it here doesn't matter if you overlap and you'll see you start to get that really nice detail so I'm going to cover all of that and I'm also going to finish this piece here as well and also if you cut a lighter piece of green card and then ink the edges you'll get a natural highlight in the middle so if I bring back in these cards here you can see where I've inked up all around the edge but it's kind of lighter and that's just the original colour of the cardstock again with this one here you can see it's slightly darker on the edges but all of this is just the original lighter green cardstock so it just gives you a nice effect so I'm just using that same green I'm just going to add some darker colour to all of the edge okay so I'll just hold those up so you can see now how different they look from before and once that one sticks over the top there you really do just see all that detail really does pop so whilst I've still got my mat out I'm going to ink up these pieces so these are for the kennel and you just want to die cut four of this one here you do have the stamp if you want to stamp the wood grain detail but you also have the stencils and I'll link all the product that I'm using below so this is the stencil you get the stencil for the wood grain and you also get a stencil for the basket weave which will work with the kitten with the basket that comes in the kitten set so with this one here it's got some of my brown ink and a blending brush and I'm just going to place different part of the stencil over these pieces here so I'm going to start with that one there if you've got any stencil sprays and you want to fix it in place you can it's such a small area I'm not going to worry about it but you can by all means do that and I'm just going to brush over that area and you'll see there you get that wood grain effect really nice so I'm going to carry on and just kind of move the stencil around so I get different patterns okay so they're now all inked up next I die cut two of these pieces which are using these triangles here in a blue color so it represents the sky and I'm just going to stick those down first of all so grab some liquid glue and a little bit on the back here you don't need much and you're just going to line them up with the corners of the card okay next you're going to add the kennel pieces you want to do the sides first so I'm going to do this one here so just run your glue along there and then you just want to line it up with the bottom point of that triangle and make sure it runs along the side of the card and then with these ones here if you just run a bead of glue just down so it runs along the side of that triangular piece and then you're just going to pop this in behind the pull tab butt it right up and just bring it down and you want to try and get the point here in the middle of this square and you'll have the overhang there as well okay and then again bead of glue there if you add the kennel you'll have to make a bigger envelope but if you've got any of the punch boards or if you follow my DIY envelope tutorial which I'll link up here you can make any size envelopes really easy you don't need any special tools either and then you'll be able to fit this inside so now you can see we've got that kennel starting to form and you want to add some foam to the sides of the grass so just along each side there pick these strips up from amazon of course you can make your own strips if you've got any wax paper grease proof paper just pop your foam tape on there and then you can cut any you know width strips that you want but I'll show these ones below because they've been really handy so you just want to rub two strips down each side like so and then just take the release paper off and then you want to decide what or who you're going to have popping up from your card so I'm going to bring in my little pooch here that I've already colored and I'm going to run a little bit of glue very thin bead just along there the smaller the glue or the thinner the double sided tape the more of your image that will pop up I'm just going to rub some of that excess away and then just lay him down right along the bottom make sure he's nice and straight like so and then I'm going to stick this piece over at the top and it will line up perfectly and it will conceal your image then I'm going to add this one I'm going to use some more foam because I'm going to be popping the I think I'm going to pop the kitten behind this one like so that one down so it's just lifted just a little bit for you to pop another image behind and then I've already got a few here so I think let's have that one because it's got a nice color there we go so we've got the little kitty again I'm going to add some foam just to the back there there we go and then if you do have both of the stamp sets you'll have lots of little extras so you can see you've got toys here you've got the fish scales you've got the little mouse lovely puns you've got the food bowl and again with the puppy you've got the paw prints you've got the little rosette and the bones so I've already got a lot of mine already cut out here so I'm just going to bring some in I think I'm going to use the rosette again we use the mouse we've got the rope the ball so I'm kind of mixing them up but you have enough to be able to just use the ones in each set so for example here you can see where I've used just the ones from the puppy set and then the kitten ones I'll be sharing in a separate tutorial then I'm going to add the rosette over the tab if you have the pull from the makeup collection or the Christmas collection then you can stamp the word pull there you could also just pop an arrow on there you could print off any you know you could have pull up anything you want to go on there if you do put something over the top then you can always just pop a little message inside to say you know please pull the rosette so it's really easy for the person to know what to do and then I'm just going to start laying down all these kind of little toys along with a sentiment so the sentiment I'm going to use on this one is to a bona fide friend and then I can send these cards out to lots of my friends I'm just going to run some foam tape along there and I'll lay that down first because then I can wooden pop the toys and stuff kind of coming out from behind the sentiment there we go so like I said I'm going to pop that one there and then you can kind of you know sit things just behind the sentiment little toys here the mouse I'm going to have crawling up the side of the kennel there as well I think that looks quite cool more toys there another toy popping out like so so I'm going to get them all stuck down okay so that's everything stuck down then I've got a five by seven card base here which is a shot brought one now you can add glue all over here which I've done in most of the demos just make sure you don't go too close to the mechanism there but this time I'm going to add some foam just so you can see that you can also add but you know your foam so I'm going to run a couple of strips either side and then just one in the middle there so I'm just going to take all that backing off and then just very carefully lay this down and you'll get a perfect white border like so and then all that's left to do is pull the tab and up pops whatever it is you have there but in my case a very cute adorable puppy and then I am going to finish it off with some of my glossy accents I just like to add this over the eyes it just adds some shine I'll pop it on the puppy's tongue as well and it just adds a little bit of shine to the card I just bring that up you can see it goes a bit cloudy at first but once it dries it will dry completely clear and you'll get that lovely shine so I'm going to leave that one to dry and I'll just bring over these ones again so you can see different arrangements that's a party themed one with the party hats which are from the props stamp set so I know lots of people have that you've got the two puppies together there and again you've got that one with the kitten popping out whereas we've got the kitten down on that one there so some really lovely cards as always I thoroughly enjoy putting these together I hope it's inspired you and helps out those of you that have these die sets I'll link everything in the description box below as I'll be back very soon with more fun tutorials thanks for watching bye
