This was fun!!!
I've made these pop up cards many times before from scratch. They're not hard but they're no where near as easy as this one was to make. The Paper Cut has kits you can purchase that are pre-cut pieces of all that you need to make the base structure.
I stamped and colored images from Lawn Fawn's Out Of This World Stamp Set and cut them out with the coordinating dies.
I added some patterned paper (from my pile the I am trying to use up) that had a sky theme. I used a heavy weight vellum paper to add the images. I stamped two of every image and the vellum is placed between the two images so you can see the planets and the child from front and back.
The rocket ship, moon and sun are added one directly to the card and then the duplicate image was added with craft foam right on top of the first one. I like that it gives more of a 3D feel to the image. The sentiment is stamped with black ink.
I showed this to a few people that don't make cards and they were so impressed with it. If they only knew how easy these are to make now that you can purchase pre-cut pieces. And the possibilities for what you'd like to pop up out of the box are endless!
