POP UP COOKIE STORE

This card uses the new Nothing's Better Than
Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!
This set includes cookies, candies, cocktails and coffee. It's a fun set to play with and this is a fun new layout for me. This fun pop up card is easy to make and has a WOW to it when given away. It lends itself to Designer Series Papers and Embossing Folders in many ways.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Basic Black card base - (score @ 5 1/2). You could use just a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card for your base
- Real Red -Using the 3rd largest die from the stitched Rectangle Dies center and do a partial cut. Place the top plate so that it does not cut the bottom portion of the die. Score across where the bottom edge would have cut using the Scoring tool or a Paper Trimmer. Only score from cut line to cut line. Not all the way across the cardstock. On the flap score at 1/4" and 2 1/8" from the bottom of the flap.
- If you want to emboss now is the time. I used the Brick Wall Embossing folder
- If you decide to use the DSP, adhere it to the 5 1/4 x 4 very well so that it will act as one piece. Then do the cutting and scoring
- Whisper White the mechanism - 4 3/4 x 3 1/4 attach this to the back of the 1/4" edge of the flap using Tear N Tape. Center it on the flap leaving a small edge on each side
- Using a 1" hole punch, punch about 1/3 of the way into the punch onto the top of Real Red layer to make a finger hole
- Punch 1" circle, fold in half and put where the white shows where you punched the hole on the Real Red layer. Punch a hole with a 1/4" hole punch for a ribbon
- Put Foam Adhesive Strips on the two sides and the bottom on the back of the Real Red. Leave room for the mechanism to slide easily. Peel and attach to the card base
- Stamp a greeting on one of the 2 3/4 x 4 Whisper White. This will leave a little edge of the card base color around the paper. Insert in the card mechanism when it is open. When the pull is pulled this will show.
- On the second 2 3/4 x 4 Whisper White create the front of your card. Emboss with Subtle Embossing Folder.
- Stamp the cookies with Soft Suede and fill them with the coordinating stamp and Crumb Cake stamped off
- Cut the scalloped edge with the die from Prized Posy on the stripped DSP. Score at 1/4 on the top and attach the top to the embossed Whisper White. Attach your cookies and finish off with the rhinestones
- Adhere it to the bottom section ONLY of the fold mechanism DO NOT ATTACH IT TO THE 1/4" AT THE BOTTOM
- Put a ribbon or cord through the hole at the top to help the pulling mechanism.
- Inside Whisper White - 5 1/4 x 4 and a 1/2 strip of the DSP used on the front

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.

This Four Tier Side Pop Out Card combines a playful interactive design with bold Halloween colors to create a card that's sure to delight anyone who opens it. The front of the card features an eye-catching layered spider web created with the Web of Fun Dies, backed with black cardstock to make the intricate white web really stand out.

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. For this card, I paired Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock with touches of Gold Foil to add warmth and elegance. The decorative gold frame draws your eye to the center of the card, where two large layered blooms become the focal point. 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. The heartfelt "Thinking of You" greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack completes the design beautifully, making this card perfect for letting a friend or loved one know they're in your thoughts. With its eye-catching center step construction, elegant gold accents, and gorgeous floral details, this is a card that's just as much fun to display as it is to create.

Create a sweet and elegant birthday card with the July 2026 Paper Pumpkin – Hooray for Birthdays kit! For this alternate design, I paired the soft pastel plaid patterns in a simple pinwheel layout on a Basic Black card base, creating a striking contrast that really makes the delicate florals stand out. The layered die-cut flowers are arranged on a stitched circle with a touch of gold cord tucked behind for added texture and elegance. A simple Happy Birthday sentiment finishes the design, making this card perfect for celebrating someone special. This easy alternate project is a wonderful way to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kit supplies and create a beautiful card with a fresh, modern look.
