Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend. Our weather here in southwestern Colorado is indescribably gorgeous! I’ve popped in with another Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share today created with the awesome Prickley Pear Stamps Kokopelli-Happy Birthday stamp set and die. This is another one of the (many) projects I created prior to leaving the Pajama Crafter Stamps team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. I have fallen in love with this pop out z-fold design seen on Lisa Curcio’s blog (she called it a ‘pop up and pull out’) and created another one with a different tube type pop up mechanism that I think is easier. Instead of cutting into the card base, I just scored a piece of cardstock three times and created a tube which I adhered to the center of the card base beneath the black dotted triangle. It’s the easiest way to add a pop up mechanism to any kind of card!
I cut the card base and layers from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and several coordinating prints in the Stampin’ Up Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack. I stamped the image from the Prickley Pear Stamps Kokopelli-Happy Birthday stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut him with the coordinating Kokopell-Happy Birthday die.
I stamped the music notes directly on the background and the sentiment on a scrap piece of the striped paper which I trimmed and popped up on foam squares, lining up with the background paper. I stamped the second part of the sentiment on the back panel. The finishing touch was adding a few Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots.
Here’s one last overhead shot so you can see the construction. This really IS a pretty cool fun fold! ;)
