JAI 587 choose two challenge - Blossoms pop up window card

Hello & welcome. Today I'm sharing my team project for Just Add Ink's latest Choose Two challenge. This week is a Choose Two challenge and my two chosen elements are a fancy edge and a circle.  These came together with the pretty floral Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and die bundle to make this thinking of you pop up window card for a friend.

I've made lots of these pop up window cards over the years - I've listed link to them near the bottom of this post. I love that they look like a regular card when closed but have a pop up surprise when open.

The stars of the card is are the two large layered florals in the Blossoms in Blooms bundle (& Many Layered Blossoms die set). You can see the 2 layers close up in this pic, together the smaller layered blossoms and circle sentiment from the bundle too. I included some new clear Polished Dots to add a little extra detail to the sentiment.

To create the front, first I cut a floral layer from the front then replaced it with white layers and vellum. (See my next post to see what I did with the piece cut out from the front. No time now!).

Then I cut out a rectangle from the front to enable me to create the pop up window inside and include another decorative edge. I love that the vellum layer on the front means you can see the front floral layer inside the card too.

When the card is opened, the rectangle cut out pops up. Sometimes I include a hidden sentiment or other element that's only seen when open but the floral layers looked so pretty that I left it as is.

So that's my challenge card for this week. Check out all the team's challenge projects on the Just Add Ink blog. We'd love you to play along with the challenge too.

Thanks for visiting today & I hope you liked my card and it's given you some ideas to try. Leave me a comment if you did or if you have questions.

I'll be back with the card I created with the panel cut out from this card front, plus another 2 fun pop up window cards, so keep an eye out for those.
