Nests of Winter Banner Pop-Up Card

No Comments


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.

Nests of Nature Chickadee Card

No Comments

I love birds, I spend a fortune feeding them all every day.  When I saw this stamp set and paper I had to have it.    

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
  • Basic Black ink pad
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots
  • Twine

Cut a piece of Grey Granite card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and cut another piece to 2 7/8″ x 4 1/8”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼, one at 2 5/8” x 3 7/8” and another to 1 ¼” x 2 ¼”.  Now take your Nests of Winter designer series paper and find the piece with the white birch design and the light grey with the white circles on it.  Cut a piece of white birch paper to 4” x 5 ¼”.  With the light grey with circles paper cut a piece to 2 ½” x 3 ¾”.   Find the piece of Nest of Winter designer series paper that has the chickadee on it.  Cut out one of the Chickadees. 

Take the piece of white card stock you cut to 1 ¼” x 2 ¼” and the Winterly Tree Tops stamp sent and with the “sending thanks & much love” and the Basic Black ink stamp it centered on the piece of card stock. 

Now take your Grey Granite card base and adhere the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white card stock centered on the front.  Then adhere the white birch piece to that.  Take the small stamped piece of white and adhere that about 1/8” up from the bottom of the light grey with circles piece.  Adhere the light grey circles piece to the white piece of card stock.  Take the twine and wrap around twice and tie a bow and make sure it is located just above the stamped white piece.  Now take the cut out Chickadee, apply pop-dots to the back of it and adhere that to the top portion of the light grey circles piece.  Then adhere that to the piece of grey granite card stock.  Adhere that whole piece onto the center of the front of your card base on the birch paper.   Use the 4” x 5 ¼” piece for the inside of the card.
