Let's Go Shopping Pop-Up Diorama Fun-Fold Card

 I've been getting ready for the first in-person all Stampin' Up! Demonstrator event since before the world shut-down! It'll be so good to re-connect with many that I've met throughout my 22 years as a Stamin' Up! Demonstrator as well as meeting new friends too. 

Part of gathering in Stampin' Up! events is something called swapping. It's crazy and it's fun and you walk away with so many great ideas! Whew! 

I joined a couple of organized swaps (planned ahead of time with a specific theme) for OnStage Houston, Texas. This card is the first I'll be sharing. It's a fun-fold card and I chose to use the pop-up diorama layout to create it.


This is the card opened up. I chose to use the Les Shoppes designer series papers (part of the Les Shoppes Suite of products out of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog) as well as the stamp set and die set (Let's Go Shopping). 


This is the folded outside of the card. So cute with the setting sun and the park bench! 


I hope you'll watch the instructional video that I put together of how I assembled this fun and simple fun-fold card:


Measurements:
Card base (here Misty Moonlight): 4-1/4" x 11" and scored along the 11" side at 1-1/4" & 5-1/2"; 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and scored along the 5-1/2" side at 1/2" and 4-3/4" (or you could score 1/2" on one end and 3/4" on the other)
Layers (here Balmy Blue): 4" x 4"; 1" x 4"
Designer Series Paper (here Les Shoppes): Print #1: 3-7/8" x 3-7/8"; 7/8" x 3-7/8"; 1/2" x 4"; Print #2: (for front) 1/4" x 2-1/4"; Print #3: (for inside scene) 4" x 4"

Let's Catch Up!

Stampin' Up! is ready to release another round of Online Exclusive products tomorrow, March 5th. As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I've been able to purchase them early...just one of the many perks of being a demonstrator.

This card was the first I made using the A Little Latte Suite Collection:


The Designer Series Papers are soft and welcoming, and you can use the coordinating die set to cut out some of the images too! 

I used the Fluid 100 Watercolor paper to create the coffee cup for the focal on the front, and I believe this will be the perfect card to send to a special coffee-loving friend.

I often go to sketch challenges when struggling to come up with a design. This card was no exception to that. Though not currently creating sketch challenges, there are 560 past sketches to use: https://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/2021/04/mojo-monday-558.html
