Jin's Fall Picks: All Seasons Pop-Up Cards

Happy Monday! As promised, I am going to show you how the cards in the All Seasons Pop-Up Cards set look like when they are put together.  

The All Seasons Pop-Up Cards set includes 9 pop-up cards, 3 card bases, and 9 super cute images for you to decorate your card front. Before I show you how the cards look like when they are "popped-up", let me show you how I assembled the cards.

1. Cut out the inside pop-up layer and the card base. Adhere the two layers together.

2. Using the pre-cut score lines as a guide, score.

3. Fold and crease well. 

4. Open the card and pop out the image by hand. 

5. If needed, score further.

6. Carefully fold and crease.

 

 7. Open and admire!

Here are the cards that I've put together.

I cut out all the layers with Make-the-Cut and my Silhouette SD. One of the best things about using Lettering Delights with Make-the-Cut is that I can easily make some adjustments to give the cards a different look. In this case, I removed the face of the Christmas tree and added 2 colored layers. Do note that it is not advisable to add more than one layer on top of the pop-up layer as it can make it hard to pop-up.

Tomorrow I will be showing you some of the cuts that I've made with the Best Witches set that is also in my Fall Picks bundle. Don't have my bundle yet? Just get it by clicking HERE.

Your Smile Makes My Day SPARKLE.

Tuesday was a big day for us. My eight year old became the first person in the family to get braces. I was nervous but she was super excited. My little girl had told everyone that she was going to the orthodontist after school. In fact, she has even decided on the color of the ties for the braces.

Little Miss Twin A was quite the trooper. The whole procedure took about an hour and she was really brave even there was obvious discomfort.  However, not long after the braces were put in place, she started complaining. As expected, she became more and more uncomfortable with the foreign object and by nightfall, she was utterly miserable.

After I gave her some medication and tucked her into bed, I thought about what I could do to cheer her up. I can't give her hard candies or even popcorn and as I was wondering what else I could give her, I remembered that she has always enjoyed the cards that I sneak into her lunch bag. And so without further thought, I sat down and started to make her a card. 

Using Make-the-Cut and the Lettering Delights Lip Smackers SVG set, I cut out the layers to make the lips. I added "braces" by using a piece of wire with some flat silver cord that I had bought from Michael's recently. I used the fonts LDJ Hearth and LD This and That to make the sentiment. All layers were cut with my Silhouette SD.

It is going to take a few days for her to get adjusted to her new braces. I am going to think of some other things to make her feel better but I hope that this card will cheer her up, at least for a little bit. 

She chose a rainbow of colors for her ties!

Barry and Friends

These are Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars. Two years ago, we turned them into this:

Last year, I thought I would get creative and did this instead:

 I was so happy when I finished it that I couldn't wait to show it to my kids.

 They freaked out!

:-(

They thought it was too creepy and refused to go anywhere near it and so I only got to make the one. 

*sniff*

Oh well, I really liked wrapping those Hershey bars up, I guess I'll have to go back to making cutesy chocolate mummies that are NOT in coffins.

And so I made one today.

Everyone say "Hi!" to Barry.

Barry looks so lonely I think I'll make him some friends.

 

"Hello, Ima Goner!", "Hello, Dead Fred!"

And there's I Emma Ghost too!

"Nice to meet you, Barry D. Hatchet"

And then Barry DaLive doesn't look so lonely anymore.

:-)
