Video Tutorial - Pop-Up Card using Acetate to Create Floating Images

This week's challenge at Heart2Heart Challenges is "Water, water everywhere!".  I had to chuckle when I saw a preview of the projects as many of us chose Surf's Up paper because its PERFECT for this challenge!  I used our new Artbooking cartridge to create my fish card but I also created a Video Tutorial using Artiste cuts so YOU can create a card using this technique today!  The video is at the bottom of the post so be sure to scroll down!

 

Above you can see how I took elements from the pre-designed scrapbook layout in Artbooking and used them for a card simply by re-sizing using the "read dial size" key.  The frame is actually a 4x6" photo mat that I resized to 4" actual size.

On the inside of the card I sandwiched strips of clear plastic between the front half of the card and the back half to create this fun wiggly pop up.  When you move the card, the fish look like they are swimming - the googly eyes just make them all the sillier!  I also dabbed on some silver glitz to the wave cut outs to give them some sparkle and shine.

The fish are SO FUN to play with!

Now here is the Artiste sample my video below will show you how to create!

Here is the VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to create a pop up card using acetate strips to create floating images.

Measurements to copy exactly:

Card front and card back cut at 5.5"x4.75" and score .5" along the long edge to create the gutter

Acetate is cut at .5" wide (2) at 1.75", (1) at 2", (2) at 2.5" and (1) at 3"

I hope you enjoyed this technique and my video!  If so, pop out to my You Tube or my Facebook page and give me a like or a comment to let me know what else you'd like to see me do for a video!

You can purchase Artbooking through me as a pre-order now (ships on August 1) but Artiste can be ordered today by clicking HERE to visit my online ordering site!

Stay crafty my friends,

How to Import and Cut using a Cricut Craft Room File - Quick Video Tutorial from Me!

Hi there friends -

I've put together a quick (5 minute) video tutorial walking you through how to import and cut using the Cricut Craft Room files that I mail to you when you purchase a multi-page Stampologist Long Distance or Consultant Class Kit. This will help anyone who hasn't used the Cricut Craft Room to import and cut projects.  The Cricut Craft Room software (click HERE to get it) is absolutely free and setting up an account is free too so there is absolutely no cost involved with using these files!

Look below the video for some FREE CCR files I'm sharing for some smaller projects - its a great way to test out your new import/cut skills!

Creating fun foldables with your Cricut CTMH cartridges!

Here is another great corporate video showing just a few of the Cricut cuts that you can fold to create dimension.  There are so many of this type of image on Artiste and Art Philosophy and its always fun to see how they can be used!

Boy and Girl Layouts with the same stamp set

This is a great video from CTMH corporate showing how versatile stamps are - make the exact same layout but change up colors for a boy or girl look. That's why I *lurve* stamping - its so cost effective when you can use one set over and over again with new colors and new techniques!

I found a great You Tube video done by the girls over at Two Peas in a Bucket that takes you step by step through making a painted Memory Keeper Box and matching album.
