Fall Pop-Up Card with Zutter Corrugated Board

We are pleased to share this project with you from the

Design Team from Donna Salazar Designs featuring a Zutter's Corrugated Board on a unique Fall-themed card.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I learned that I would be creating a "Fall" themed project, I was kinda intimidated because in Malaysia we do not have Fall season. I have seen this season on the Internet, in the movies and magazines. I really do love the fall season, hope to experience it someday! So I decided to show you how I created this fall card with a pop-up tree on the inside- using Zutter's Corrugated Board as a key component.

Here is the tutorial of creating a fall pop-up card...

First you need a card base of this size: 30.5cm x 11cm. Fold them into half.

To create the pop-up base, cut a 13cm strip of cardstock, then score it 1cm from the edge followed by 3cm from the edge (ie: the gap between the 2 scores is 2cm) on the both sides of the strip.

Fold all the scored lines and adhere it to the card base just like the picture shown.

Remember to spritz the smooch to create the red background.

To create the tree, I used Zutter's Corrugated Board as a trunk. Distressed it with Clear Snap ink for a natural look. Once you are done, paste it to the pop-up base.

Here I used dies to create my leaves and one of the leaf die is from Donna's collection called Rose Creations. Layer all the leaves until you are happy :)

Now let me show you the completed card and also close up shots from all angles...

The exterior of the card

The interior of the card.

Hope you like this pop-up card and I really hope I did justice with the fall theme.

Heart-felt gifts come in small packages and sometimes making nice gifts for a lot of people can be a challenge – not to mention time consuming.  Make small gifts special by tucking them into a handmade tag/gift card pocket.  Start with a 6”X6” piece of paper of your choice and score crossways at the 3” marks.  Then create a score from corner to corner from two of the previous scores.  Fold that flap up to form the bottom of the tag pocket.  Place the folded flap against the scoring ruler and score approx. ½” from both sides and fold in to form the pocket flaps.  Adhere the flaps down.  You have a cute little pocket!  You can create your own tags, but why not make it easy and Smooch Spritz some shipping tags from the office supply store.  Add sentiments to these and glue dot a gift card to the tag!  Voila!   

Trim all the 6”X6” pieces you need with the Zutter Dreamkuts and score a bunch with your Scor-it-All in front of the TV.  You can have a batch done in no time flat.  Personalize the pockets for your lucky gift recipients.

Tune in to Nan’s blog on tomorrow to see how she incorporates these pockets and tags into another Zutter-fied homemade project!

Here’s an easy way to make a big handmade impression! Make your own cards and envelopes with the Zutter Scor-it-All Envelope Template and theScor-it-All scoring board.  With these two tools, you can truly make one-of-a-kind cards, sure to impress!

 Use the Scor-it-All Envelope Template on your choice of paper.  You can either trace with a cutting blade on a mat, or trace with a pencil and trim with scissors. Follow the score lines marked on the template and score and fold.  Use adhesive on the bottom flap edges and fold to seal the sides.  When using one sheet of 12”X12” paper, you can make one envelope and one card – the card will measure 4 ½” wide by 11” long, and fold longways.  When using lots of different, coordinating papers, you can mix and match the cards to envelopes and vice versa!  Use ClearSnap inks and chalks to edge the papers, and embellish as you wish.  We like simple stickers and pieces of plain cardstock for writing sentiments and notes.
