I created this card as a Father's Day card.  It may have another name but I'm calling it a FUN FOLD POP OUT card.

Measurements:

1.  For the card base, cut 1 piece of cardstock 4 1/4" X 11".  I used Smokey Slate

     cardstock.

2.  Score at 1" and at 6 1/2" (on the short side)

3.  Cut from the 1" score line to the 6 1/2" score line, 1" in from the edge on

     both sides (on the long side of the cardstock).  Take care not to cut all the

     way to the edge.  The point is to create a center panel that is still connected

     to the cardstock on all sides.

4. On the two outside strips that you have just created, score at 2" (1" from the

     first score line at 1".  Score only on the two outside strips and not the center

     panel.

5. On the center panel, score at 5 1/2".  Score only on the center panel and 

    not on the two outside strips.  

6. Cut 3 pieces of coordinating cardstock; 1 piece 2 3/16" X 4 3/8", 2 pieces

    7/8" X 4 3/8".  I used Basic Gray.

7. Cut 3 pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP); 1 piece 2 1/8 X 4 5/16", 2 pieces

    6/8" X 4 3/8".  I used In Good Taste.

8.  Cut 1 piece of white cardstock 4" X 4 3/8" for inside and 1 piece 3/4" X 3" for

     the bottom front sentiment.  I made this sentiment with a stamp from Pansy

     Patch.

9. I made the Happy Father's Day sentiment using Word Wishes dies which I

    adhered to white cardstock, layered on basic gray cardstock, both cut out

    using Stitched Nested Label dies.

I made several examples of the side easel card for this blog hop.

MEASUREMENTS:

Cut 1 piece of cardstock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  I used the Fresh Freesia cardstock.  One of the new colours from the In-Color 2021-2023.

Cut 1 piece of of (DSP) Designer Series Paper 4" X 3 1/4"; I used the gingham from the Pansy Patch.

Cut 1 piece of DSP 1 3/4" X 2", 1 piece of DSP 1 3/4" X 1", 1 piece of DSP 1 3/4" X 3/4".  I used the Hand-Penned DSP.

Cut 1 piece of white cardstock 4" X 3 1/4".

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Score the cardstock on the long side at 8 1/2".  Add four more score lines at 6 3/8", 3 1/8", 3" and 1" but only extend these score lines out to 2" from the long edge.

• Fold the cardstock on the 4 1/4" score line.  Fold on the other score lines.

• To make the sentiment and decorate the front of the card, I embossed a piece of white cardstock 4" X 2".  I then used a Blender brush and Soft Succulent ink to colour this piece of cardstock.  On this, I mounted another piece of white cardstock cut out with a die from the Colour and Contour dies set.  I then mounted greenery from the Quiet Meadow dies and Hand-Penned Bundle
• Here are two more examples of cards I made following this design.

Simply Succulents and Potted Succulents Dies

These were fun cards to make!!  I used the Simply Succulents Bundle (Simply Succulents Stamp Set and Potted Dies) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue to create these cards.  

To create these card fronts, I taped the large die onto a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Basic White Card Stock on to my Stampin'Up grid paper using painters tape.  Then I used the new Stampin'Up Blender brushes and gradually blended a combination of the four ink colours - Pretty Peacock, Mint Macaroon, Costal Cabana and Bermuda Bay - onto the card stock. 

 

I created the second and third card fronts at one time.  I first cut the large die shape out of Basic White Cardstock and taped the cut out shape (using painters tape again) onto a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Basic White. Again I used the Blender Brushes to gradually colour the die cut shape.  I then removed the die cut shape and used the white cardstock below to create the front of a card.  I also adhered the cut out shape to a piece of white cardstock I had also coloured using the blender brushes. 

I then created labels, and added ribbons and embellishments to decorate the front of each card.
