Beth picked the Surprise Pop Up card as our weekly Technique Lover challenge. I haven’t made one of those in ages.
I stamped early yesterday morning. Rick and I moved my stamp room back in the room it was in first, after having it in the living room for about 6 month. It was just too loud in the center of the house. The kids were driving me gaga.
We worked hard until the afternoon. Then we kept on working on Lucas and Rebeccas room. Let’s just say I am super tired right now (typing it up in the evening for tomorrow’s post)
I knew I wanted to use Wanted as my main set this time. Usually I mix it with the Bronc Buster set and have the main focus on the cowboy. Not this time.
I also knew that I wanted to put the pop up part on a full card. Usually I just stick it on a 1/4 piece of cardstock and I don’t like that too much. So I started with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of chocolate chip cardstock, sponged the edges and set it aside.
I stamped a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Sage Shadow cardstock with the Medaillon, the Paisley and the Star stamp all over, sponged the entire piece with Sage Shadow and then the edges with Chocolate Chip ink.
Next I cut a 2 1/4″ x 4″ piece of striped Outlaw Designer paper, sponged all around softly with Chocolate Chip and taped it down my Sage Shadow cardstock. I cut a 3/4″ frame on the side and border and scored the top at 3/4″ as well. Then I scored 1/4″ from the bottom of the flap and then in the middle of the flap.
I cut 2 small pieces (3/8″ x 3/4″) of Really Rust, sponged the edges and taped them over the designer paper.
My Really Rust inside tag that pulls the flap up measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and was stamped and sponged the same way the Sage shadow piece was treated. I cut the two top corner off to make it look like a tag, taped 1/2 chocolate scallop circle to the top (it was sponged and stamped with the Medaillon) and attached a piece of the Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware and sponged and stamped twill .
For the center image I stamped the horse in Chocolate Chip on Natural Ivory cardstock. I used the Coluzzle to cut it out, sponged the entire piece with Creamy Caramel and then just the edges first with Really Rust, then with Chocolate Chip ink. The cutter kit was used to rough up the edges and paper piercing was added.
Then it was layered first on a 1/8″ bigger sponged and distressed Really Rust circle and a 1/4″ bigger Chocolate Chip circle. I used the Corner rounder on the Chocolate Circle to add the scallops. I was very excited when the last scallop fit perfectly next to the first one.
I stamped the HB from It’s your Birthday in Chocolate Chip on Natural Ivory cardstock, cut around it and distressed the edges. I repeated that with Really Rust and Chocolate Chip cardstock and adhered it to the left side of my center piece. Then I added four Antique Brads on the bottom of the circle, two more on the left and right of the Really Rust strip and one in the center of a cut out and sponged star.
So that the saying would show up better, I cut a 3 1/2″ square of Natural Ivory.
It was sponged with Creamy Caramel and stamped it the same way the Really Rust and Sage Shadow cardstock had been stamped.
Then it was sponged some more in Really Rust and Chocolate Chip. I added the saying from It’s Your birthday and taped the piece directly to the Chocolate chip card base.
Ooops, I forgot to mention that I stamped the outer edges of the first layer with All in a Row. But you all know that I have to use that set, right? LOL

Beate, this is some definite eye candy. I just LOVE it!!!! I haven’t made one of those in ages either. You have inspired me to make one too.
What a fantastic looking card! I love the pop up technique and will have to give it a try. Your continuous use of All in a Row makes me regret not putting it into my last SU order! May have to do some more shopping…

Amazing! Love it! I’ll have to check out how to make these pop-up cards.
You’ve done some wonderful stuff with the 2 western sets Beate!
Gorgeous! I love how you framed the image in the circle scallop punch and then have that attached to the part that pulls up. Every little detail is just right!
This is so pretty! I love how you used the scallop circle on the front of the card.
I have to try one of these. You card is fenominal! I love everything about it, as usual!
Oh, this is just gorgeous!!! It has such richness and depth, and the colors are fantastic! I could look at your cards all day! 🙂
Love how you used the circle and scallop circle punches… Love the colors! TFS!
I was wondering how the pop-up card would look with a circle image. Now I know–it looks absolutely wonderful!
Magical!! Masculine cards are so difficult to come up with and be SATISFIED with. You hit the nail dead-center on the head, it is a fantastic card. TFS.
such a cool card, even cooler IRL!! i love it 🙂
this is awesome, Beate!
This is awesome! I still have not used my Wanted set from Convention! And I’ve never tried this pop-up card, it always looked so hard! Hope everything went well with all the moving/rearranging. You’re like Superwoman with everything you get done!
