The Winterly Tree Tops paper is so pretty and can take so much of the work out of making a card. This card is the perfect example of that.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Grey Granite card stock
- White card stock
- Nests of Winter designer series paper
- Winterly Tree Tops stamp set
- Grey Granite Ink
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop-Dots
With the Grey Granite card stock cut a card to 4 1/4” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Also cut a strip of Grey Granite to 1” x 11” scored at 2 ¾”, 5 ½” and 8 ¼”. Cut a piece of White card stock to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the front of your Grey Granite card base. Get your Nests of Winter designer series paper out and find one of the pieces that have the pussy willows with the birds on the bottom and top of the paper. Cut a section to 4” x 4 ¼” making sure you have the birds positioned where you want them for the section of paper you are using. Find two spots with birds that you can cut to 1 ¾” x 1 ¾” and also cut two pieces of White card stock to the same 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”. I also cut a ½” x 1 ¾” of a bit of pussy willow for the bottom of one of the white pieces. Cut four squares out of the Grey Granite to 2” x 2”. Adhere your 4 pieces cut to 1 ¾” x 1 ¾” to each of the Grey Granite pieces. On the plain white one get the “many thanks and much love” stamp from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set and stamp it with your Grey Granite ink.
Find a piece of designer series paper from your Nests of Winter pack that has the white birch trees with the birds. Cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere one to the inside top portion of your card and the other to the inside bottom portion. Now take the Grey Granite strip you cut and scored and accordion fold it. Adhere the top section centered to the top of your card with the center part of your accordion fold popping up and then adhere the bottom section to the bottom of your card. Now adhere you 2” x 2” pieces from top down centered in each section of your grey accordion strip with one of the birds in the top section. Your word stamped piece in the second section, the second bird one in the third section and the plain white with the strip of pussy willow to the bottom section.
And that is it, you have an adorable, easy pop-up card.
