These packs make designing cohesive projects a breeze with their pre-cut designs and thoughtful colour coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we used one of the large <strong>Around It All circle dies<\/strong> to create a focal base in Pool Party. This formed the background for our ephemera cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To enhance the circle, we debated between ink splatter and dry embossing \u2013 and decided, why not both? A bit of <strong>Pool Party ink blending<\/strong> around the edges gave depth, and we added a generous <strong>Wink of Stella splatter<\/strong> for sparkle. Then, the <strong>Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder<\/strong> added beautiful texture that subtly complemented the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little bird was treated to a full Wink of Stella coating \u2013 because you can never have too much shimmer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating the 3D Stand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We constructed two small rectangular tubes from Pool Party cardstock to act as supports for the pop-up front. These were scored at 1&#8243; intervals to form sturdy cuboids that fold flat for mailing. The decorated circle panel was adhered to the front of one tube, and then the second tube was glued behind to form the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result? A card that pops up on display but folds flat into a larger envelope (such as a C5 in Australia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; sentiment was tucked beneath the bird, popped up on dimensionals. We finished off with <strong>Antique Pearls<\/strong>, gently coloured with <strong>Stampin\u2019 Blends<\/strong> to match Pool Party. These pearls are fantastic because they can be tinted to suit any project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love This Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy to customise<\/strong>: Choose your favourite ephemera pack and sentiments to suit any occasion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interactive<\/strong>: Pop-up cards always impress \u2013 and this one is deceptively simple to make.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uses up supplies<\/strong>: Great for using leftover die cuts or patterned paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perfect for mailing<\/strong>: Folds flat for an envelope while still standing tall when displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re looking to wow someone with a birthday card, or simply showcase the gorgeous artwork in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com.au\/search\/ephemera?sort=relevance&amp;ts=1744336339221&amp;demoid=4000014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mix &amp; Match Ephemera Packs<\/a>, this project is a fantastic way to stretch your supplies and experiment with dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image16881_a75b1f-23 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image16881_a75b1f-23 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-16885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-560x560.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Standing-Card-2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheers for now<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image16881_35978d-c9 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image16881_35978d-c9 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/alisa-tilsner-round-logo-transparent-e1623752213720.png\" alt=\"Alisa\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-11857\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shop my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stampinup.net\/esuite\/home\/alisatilsner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ONLINE STORE<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/join-stampin-up-australia\/\">Join The Artful Stampers<\/a><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/join-stampin-up-australia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Team<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/join-stampin-up-australia\/\"> <\/a>&#8211; Happy Shoppers, <g class=\"gr_ gr_11 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"11\" data-gr-id=\"11\">Hobbiest<\/g>, Part Time and Full Time welcome!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/tutorial-and-card-making-membership\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"14602\">Creative Card Makers Club<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watch me on <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/alisatilsner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Socialise with me on <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AlisaTilsnerIndependentStampinUpDemonstrator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FaceBook<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"mailto:alisacraig@westnet.com.au\">Email Me<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a fresh card idea that\u2019s fun, dimensional, and packed with personality?
