Pop Up card Cornfield |
![]() |
Interactive Card |
I was fascinated by the scarecrow digital stamp and decided to make a scenic cornfield pop up card with an additional interactive element.
I stuck butterflies to thick transparent sheets and attached them to my card using pink brads

I have not taken step by step tutorial style photos as I think not many crafters will be crazy enough to want to make this!!Just giving broad instructions to pique your interest.This card was inspired by a pop up card in the book "Mechanical cards" though I didnt use the templates there[ I have an aversion to tracing!!]
I scored parts A and A 3/4 inch wide [this would be the height of the stage] and the tab on the right side at 1/2 inch width.Cut off the excess card at the 7 inch mark
Design your pop ups
Base Card
The base of the card is an A4 card stock folded in half.
The scenic pop up element
The base of the card is an A4 card stock folded in half.
The scenic pop up element
The scenic pop up element needs to just fit into your folded base card-- Mine is 7 inches long and I trimmed the width to be less than my base card.
Choose sturdy card stock as it should be able to hold the weight of all your pop up elements.
I used a scoring tool [scorpal ] for the first time and I have become a big fan-- making this pop up card was ever so easier with it!!I scored parts A and A 3/4 inch wide [this would be the height of the stage] and the tab on the right side at 1/2 inch width.Cut off the excess card at the 7 inch mark

Interactive Pop up card Instructions |
Decide on what scenic elements you want to pop up in your scene and decide on where you want them to pop up .Place them at different levels for the scenic effect and ensure that parts dont pop out when you close your card.
Create small "stands" for your pop ups as shown.The double arrow marked on your "stand" is same as width A of your scenic pop up.And the little folded part of each small stand are tabs you will glue down to your base card[my tabs are 1/2 inch long]
Make slits on your scenic pop up element by laying down the "stands" and marking the position. Cut slits 2mm wide so as to allow easy movement of your pop ups.
I printed the scarecrow digital stamp twice and used the corn plants as additional elements in the pop up scene
Thread your pop ups through the slits and make sure they move easily. Make your slits wider if the movement is not smooth.
Stick the left hand scored part of the scenic pop up element on the base card first as shown.Apply glue on all tabs and fold over your card
I must admit getting all the tabs to stick right is tricky!!

I added another pop up element above on the right for one of my corn plants!
Here is how the pop up card looks before I stuck all the images and embellishments to it.

ReplyDeleteAnita-- I think something always looks better if you know how it is made that is why whenever I can I try to photograph the steps.
Monica- I dont enjoy coloring as it does require a lot of patience-- I was almost tempted to turn over the digi to my daughter!!
Melissa Thank You for encouraging my coloring skills--I would have avoided it if I had another option!!
Sonia

ReplyDeleteA fabulously thorough tutorial as always. What a cute idea to use clear plastic and brads that allow your bird and butterfly to have movement.

Worth the effort as you end result is so much fun!
