Sending Hugs, double Oval Frames Popup

I’ve been thinking about pulling out the Oval Frames Pop-up dieset but was trying to think of a creative way to use it. Then I sat down to watch Friday’s episode of Craft Roulette and it came to me. These are this weeks parameters ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

The 2 folds are the gate folds, I decided to make a wooden slat planter and fill it with brightly coloured flowers. The 2 girl gnomes both have a smiley face, and the old product I used was old string and an old pink metallic elastic thread to tie the bow on the front.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

1- I used craft-coloured card stock from Michaels to make the card base using the dimensions below.

2- adhere the two smaller panels to either side as shown

3- I added the wood slat patterned paper, it’s actually sticker paper that I got from the Dollar Store. Cut to the dimensions below ⬇️

4- I cut an extra piece of cardstock for the back because it is a thinner cardstock.

5- die cut 2 Oval Frames pop up mechanisms, and add to the card base as shown. Karen has an excellent assembly video on her website just follow the link.

6- die cut 2 of the ovals that look like glasses and 4 of the largest oval. The largest ovals will be cut from cardstock that has tha wood patter sticker paper on it. The large ovals go over the 2 middle ovals on both mechanisms and the pieces that look like glasses go over.

7- diecut 4 of the next largest ovals from the same cardstock with sticker paper, these will go on the four outside ovals.

8- I diecut flowers and leaves from the Fun Flowers, Twist Flower pop up, and some leaves from the Autumn Elements , and the Flower Pot Pop up. I coloured them with random alcohol markers and a White gel pen

9- I started adding flowers to the mechanism and inside of the card.

10- diecut Wordset 14-Hugs , and the 3 largest squares from the Crosshatch Squares as shown and combine them together with some of the pink flowers and leaves. I cut 1 of the largest squares from Crumbcake, 2 from the blue, 2 of the white, put the extra 2 pieces aside.

11- add adhesive to only the top half.

12- add to the top half of the card. I also added a Daisy chain to the top and bottom.

13- I added some more Daisy chains and flowers to the inside and some Tiny Gnomes peaking out here and there. I used the extra blue and white squares and added them on the backside of the square on the front.

14- I should have added the bow earlier because I had to peel up the leaves and flowers to wrap the bow around the square. The photos aren’t in perfect order, I did the bow after I put on the front flowers but before I put on the inside flowers. I also added a few clear bubbles randomly around the card.
