April 27-- Flower Arranging by Sandy

April 29-- Retiform by Pat

Pop Out Flower Arrangement Card
by Sandy Hentzel

Items needed:
Floral Stamps
Black Ink
Coloring medium ( I choose Gelatos/Markers)
Stamp block
Multiple pieces of white cardstock
Pop dots or tape
Adhesive ( I used score tape)

1) Fold a piece of white cardstock in half and stamp flower pot image

along the creased edge of the paper. You can use a vase stamp or even

free hand cut a vase, just make sure it is along the edge that is folded.

2) Cut out image. As you can see below, the two sides are joined
at the bottom.

3) Add adhesive to the back of the top corners on the front piece
side.

4) Fold paper in half again, adhering the two corners together
to make a pocket.

Here is what the flower pot pocket looks like when attached.
You can even shape it flatter by squeezing the paper some.

5) You will want to color your image. I did it after I made the
pocket but you can do it before too.

6) Adhere the pocket to the front of your card, like so.

7) Now, have fun stamping your flowers, butterflies, etc. And
then start coloring them in. I got some new Gelotos so I was interested
in playing with those. But you can use, markers, pencils or paints.

8) After your done coloring, you want to fussy cut your images.

9) Start to place your flowers in your pot, arranging them how you want.
Place your first flowers right on the front of the card. Then using the pop
up tape or dots, start adding the next layers.

Here you can start to see how I started to layer the pop up tape to get more
dimension in the flower arrangement.

And here is the Pop OUT Flower Arrangement Card.

I love doing pop up cards but those images usually pop out in the
inside of the card. So I got to thinking how I would do it on the outside
of the card and viola... my version of a Pop OUT Card.
Hope your like it!

Let's get started !!
