Today’s blog post features a fabulous 3D fun fold called the Pop Up Book Fun Fold. The Silly Old Bear Suite – for me and many is a sentimental stroll down memory lane – this suite SOLD OUT during the Demonstrator Pre-order and SOLD OUT again on the first day of Customer Orders. If this is a Suite for you make sure that you use the “notify me” button so when it’s back in stock you will get a notification. This More Color Mondays Color Challenge looks great in shades of brown and gold!

This 3D Pop Up Book Fun Fold is a WOW fun fold and today I will teach you how to make this!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic Beige CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4″ x 5 1/4″, (2) 2 3/8″ x 3″
DSP: 5 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ , with long edge at the top
scored at 4 1/8″
Pecan Pie CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″, (2) 2 1/2″ x 3 1/8″

With the short side of the DSP at the top of the Stampin’ Trimmer and the left edge at the 1″ mark cut from the 1″ mark on the clear ruler to the 7 1/4″.

Repeat this cut with the opposite side placer the opposite short side at the top of the Trimmer and place the edge of the paper at the 1″ mark on the right side of the cutting groove, cut from the 1″ to the 7 1/4″ marks on the clear ruler.

Then with the long side of the DSP at the top of the Trimmer and the left side of the DSP at the 1″ mark – score between the top and bottom cuts.

Then Score at 1 1/2″ in between the top and bottom cuts.

Repeat on the opposite side of the DSP.

With the long side of the DSP at the top of the Trimmer and at 2″ on the side score from the top edge of the DSP to the top cut line and from the bottom cut line down to the bottom edge of the DSP. (Only score above and below the cut lines for this score line)

Then fold the top section Valley-Mountain-Valley
middle score line V-M-V-M-V
and bottom scores V-M-V

Fold and burnish all score lines.

It will look like the photo below.

Fold the DSP and add Stampin’ Seal to the outside U shaped panel and attach to the left hand inside of the Basic Beige card base.

FOld the DSP again and place adhesive on gthe opposite U shaped panels on the other side of the DSP that is not attached to the card yet. Close the back side of the card base and rub on the back side of the card base to secure the DSP to the back inside of the card base.

Take the extra layer of Basic Beige and stamp the images for decoration.

Die cut the images.

Color the stamped images from the Silly Old Bear Suite with Petal Pink, Pecan Pie and Golden Glow Stampin’ Blends.

Take the extra layer of Pecan Pie CS and run it through the Stampin’ Cut and EMboss machine with the Hundred Acre Woods 3D embossing folder.

Adhere the embossed layer to the card front.

Pop up the sentiment die on the center of the card front and add Piglet popped up over the sentiment label.

Stamp the inside sentiment to one of the Basic Beige smaller layers and adhere the two Basic Beige smaller layers to the Pecan Pie layers.

Adhere the stamped and colored figures to the Basic Beige layers and adhere the Pecan Pie to the middle inside panels.

One of my favorite NEW products in the catalog are our NEW IN COLOR SHIMMER BRUSHES! They do not show well in these photos but the shimmer is stunning and I dressed up the stamped images with the Golden Glow Shimmer brush!

I adhered some metallic dots to the card front to finish off this great book fun fold.

Try this fold if you want to really WOW a special someone with you card making skills!

This card post was incomplete yesterday so I rewrote it today with all the photos that did not make the original post – sorry for the technical difficulties!

Now it’s your turn to go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
