The wait is almost over! Starting tomorrow, we can stop talking about Sneak Peeks because all of this great new product will be available in the online store.
Today I have another look at the Large Number Framelits bundle and It’s My Party suite. I also used the Party Pop-Up Thinlit again. This time it is on the inside of the card.
Such a fun surprise for the inside, isn’t it? I added a piece of designer paper behind the cut-out. This actually made it easier to fold and insert into the card base.
To do this, I started with a 5″ x 8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4″. I aligned the thinlit’s tabs with the score line, cut the cardstock, and removed the scrap pieces. I use the Precision Base Plate for these very intricate dies, and it works beautifully.
I applied glue to the back of this insert piece as shown in the picture, taking care not to put any glue on the section that pops up in the card. I then placed a 3 1/2″ x 4″ piece of designer paper onto the glue, making sure the “right” side was down so that it would show through the image.
Before folding and attaching the insert piece to a card base, I scored again over the score line that already existed on the Whisper White. This adds the score line to the designer paper. Then I carefully separated the pop-out section from the designer paper and carefully folded the insert as shown below before actually attaching it to the card base.
If you missed my earlier post on this Party Pop-Up thinlit, I will add the picture here so you can see another way to use the die. For more information on this card, click here.
This is only one of two pop-up dies in this thinlit set. The other is a word bubble with the text “Hip Hip Hooray”. It can be used the same ways – as a pop-up on the insert or as a shape on the card front. So fun!
Thanks for stopping by today – have a good Monday!
