Pop-Up with Quick Quotes and Lawn Fawn

Cards, Crafts, Diy, How to, Paper crafting, Stamps, TutorialGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a way to showcase your paper patterns and have some fun with stamps or die cuts.  This card is a pop-up inside and has a decorative band holding it closed.


















I am using the Winter Bliss collection and I started by cutting my paper into pieces. I used one 12" x 1" strip, one 5.5" x 4.25" rectangle, a 3" x 3" square and an 8" x 5.5" rectangle. I used a plain white card base.





I stamped my images using my amazing Stamp Perfect tool and used a pop-up die for the inside of the card.



Once I had everything cut out, I adhered my die cuts and stamped the sentiment.
The outside of the card was put together by using a stamp runner on the 5.5" x 4.25" piece and adhering that to the card base. Then the 3" square was stuck on top of that.
Finally, the 12" x 1" strip is what will hold the card closed, it's just a decorative touch.  Place the strip on the front of the card.
Turn the card over.
Fold each edge of the strip towards the center of the card.
Then adhere the ends together to make a band. The finished card will have a very nice look and a fun pop-up inside.


This card is motivational, but any occasion will work; Winter Bliss is my favorite collection right now, but you can use any of the beautiful Quick Quotes collections to make a project like this.  I hope you enjoyed this project and thanks for stopping by.

Lifeprint is Giving Me Life

I had to do a quick post on this AMAZING new tool I got this past week, it's called Lifeprint and you can buy one here or here.  The whole premise is so cool and fun, the printer uses augmented reality to print a code into a photo that looks normal but when scanned with their app reveals a video clip, it's like Harry Potter.  I did a short unboxing and tried it out on a stop motion that I did a while back and the result was so cool.  Check out the video below.

Can you even imagine how much neat stuff you can do for scrapping and card making with this?  You can have a card with you personally wishing someone happy birthday! The only thing they have to do is download the app, and that's free! I am so excited to use this for cards and artwork. I hope you enjoyed the video and you get a chance to try one of these, happy crafting!

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a fun project that you can customize for yourself or as a gift. I'm using the Anchors Aweigh Collection along with some of my favorite Xyron products to make a mobile that you can gift for a baby shower or use as an inspiration for yourself. I'm using some supplies I found in my craft room, so this is a simple project you can do in an afternoon/evening.

Check out the video below. I had a fun time making this project and I will be hanging my dream mobile in my craft room to keep me inspired. 

You can find the products from the video below, happy crafting!

Make a Brag Book

Hi everyone, Gabriela here with a project made from this month's Club Q.  I immediately fell in love with the small bound book and since I am preparing a set of baby items for one of my friends, I thought I would create a small book to go with the quilt and burp cloths.  I mention in the video that I am making a book for colors, but you can use this as a brag book or a miniature art journal as well.


I left a space on the front for a name for baby, I'll be putting "Colors" in that space; check out the video below.



I hope you enjoyed the video and you make something amazing with your Club Q.
