Having FUN with Pop Ups...and Morning Meadow, a new Hostess Set from Stampin' Up!

Just LOVIN' this new Hostess set...MORNING MEADOW.

Inked with Primrose Petals and stamped on Naturals White cardstock, I found that my flowers came out shaded.... which was a happy surprise! I did the "kissing" technique on the bird, by inking up the stamp with Midnight Muse and touching it to the flower branch. That removed ink from the bird and left the flower branch impression. What do you think?

 
The card is Midnight Muse, the insert, Gumball Green, the tag and leaves are Pistachio Pudding...sounds good enough to eat! The flowers were punched out with the new Pansy Punch, the leaves, with the Bird Punch. The tag was done with the Chalk Talk Framelits. The words come from REALLY GOOD GREETINGS, and Birthday Greetings from APOTHECARY ART. Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and a Cute Clip finish off the card...all from SU!



The pop up insert is EASY with the Zig Zag Pop Up Die from Sixxiz.

If  you would like to try your own, fold a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Gumball Green, and cut two slits, about 3/8" wide, on the fold on either side at an angle...the longest cut about an inch. Fold the slits up and away making sure they square off at the fold. Push them out to the center of the card to make an "easel" for your flowers. They will be at an angle, not facing straight ahead. You can use SU!'s exclusive Edgelits on the ends of the pop up insert (and on the front of the card)...ADORNING ACCENTS would be perfect!

You can find all the SU! products used here under PRODUCTS at www.djouellette.stampinup.net  Check out the Hostess sets under PRODUCTS>Catalog>pages 200-205.

Pop Ups are such FUN...to make and to get!
