HEY GIRLFRIEND POP UP

January 9, 2021

When I first saw this stamp set I knew I had to have it. My son said it was a kick back from Barbie, but I just love the set. I have made so many wonderful "Girl Friends" since I started Stampin' Up and so this one just touched my heart. It also reminded me of how much I have missed being with my "Girl Friends".

 Then I made this cute card using Darling Donkeys and the Pop Up mechanism and I knew I had to try it with the Hey Girlfriends!

I was afraid that the girls would crash into each other. That didn't seem to be a problem at all. I think you could put flowers instead of the girls or even a bouquet of flowers in the middle between them. To me this card leaves itself open to a multitude of stamps and ideas

INSIDE:
Cut 11 x 4 1/4 Rococo Rose, score @ 5 1/2
Cut 12 x 4 Whisper White, score @ 4 1/2, 6 & 7 1/2, burnish the score lines. At the 4 1/2" line mark on each edge 1" above and below the score line on each side. Mark 1" in on the same score line on each side (put a mark at 1" & 3"). Using a silicone mat and scoring tool draw score lines from the mark on the fold line diagonally to the lines on the side. (Check out the video below if this is not clear). Fold the little score lines so that they pop up

Fold the Whisper White card in half and trim with the Paper Trimmer to create an opening in the top. Leave about 3/8" on each side, snip this piece out with Paper Snips

Cut 5 x 3 1/4 Rococo Rose, with 5" side at the top score @ 1/2 inch, glue the score line to the score line on the Rococo Rose card base. It will come up through the hole

Glue the Whisper White inside to the Rococo Rose on each end. Do not glue the center mountain fold down

Cut the greeting shape from Hippo & Friends Dies in Whisper White and stamp the greeting from Happy Thoughts in Rococo Rose, glue to the Rococo Rose pop up

Stamp the girls 2 of the girls from Girlfriends in Tuxedo Black Momento, color with Rococo Rose, Soft Suede light, So Saffron Light & Ivory, fussy cut around the images, glue their feet to the inside of the card

Punch 1 balloon from each color of foil in the Love You Always Foil Sheets, glue the Sahara Sand balloon to the top and add the Rococo Rose & Blushing Bride with dimensionals


FRONT:

cut 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 Whisper White, adhere to the card front

Cut 5 x 3 3/4 Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (THIS IS FREE WITH A $50 ORDER DURING SALE-A-BRATION)

Radiant Sunflower Fun Fold

By Debbie Chronister • August 19, 2026
There’s something about sunflowers and warm fall colors that makes a card feel extra cheerful! I love how this fun fold design creates several different areas to showcase the beautiful Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper while still keeping those sweet sunflowers front and center. The rich Early Espresso card base pairs beautifully with the Cajun Craze and floral patterns, while the Cajun Craze vases and green leaves add just the right pop of color. The two die-cut sunflowers really bring the card to life, and the simple “Hello, Friend” greeting makes this a wonderful card to send for almost any occasion. A few little embellishments from the 2026-28 In Color Gems scattered around the card add just a touch of sparkle without taking away from all those gorgeous fall colors. This is one of those cards that looks impressive when it’s standing up, but is much easier to create than you might think! Be sure to download the FREE Project Sheet below for the measurements and instructions so you can create one of your own.

By Debbie Chronister • July 24, 2026
If you're looking for a fun fold that makes a beautiful impression, this elegant Center Step Card is the perfect project! The dimensional design creates a wonderful display for the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper, while the soft, feminine color palette makes it ideal for sending a thoughtful note to someone special.

The flower centers were die-cut from the 2026–2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper, adding subtle texture and coordinating color, while the Peaceful Pine leaves provide the perfect contrast against the delicate blooms.
