Falling For You Pop Up Card for Joyful Stars September Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars September Blog Hop.  Thank you for joining us today.  It is a circular hop so you can start anywhere.  When you get back to the first blog, you will know when you are finished.  You can find a complete list of participants HERE on Joyce's Blog.  If you have come from Krista's Blog, you are on the right track.    Since fall is my favorite time of year, I decided to use the brand new Falling for You Paper Packet.  This card is called a Free Standing Pop Up Card and you can find a tutorial for it on Splitcoaststampers.  My card is a bit larger, so I changed the size of the card.  I will give you the actual measurements I used for the Sunflower Card at the end of this post. 
 I just love the cheerful leaves and flowers on this paper!  The sunflower is on page 7 of the Flower Market booklet.  It is Flower 1 cut in Saffron and Flower 1 Shift cut in Goldrush.  Flower 2 is the center of the flower cut in Expresso.  All elements are cut at 6.5".  I used a piece of clear plastic/acetate for the tag and used Liquid Glass to adhere the sentiment Thankful to the plastic.  Liquid Glass is the perfect adhesive to use on any 3-D item or project that will be handled often.

Here is a photo of the card folded flat to fit into the envelope:

 As I mentioned previously, this card is a little larger than a regular size card and requires a 5 x 7 envelope.  The recipient can pull the sunflower and the card "pops up". 

 The base of the card (leaf and flower paper) is 4" x 12".  Score the base at 1, 3,  4, 6, 8, 9 and 11 inches.  The Clear plastic "tag" is 6 1/4" x 2".

If you have not had an opportunity to see the brand new Holiday Expressions book, you can view it as well as the Annual Inspirations online HERE.
