Pop It Up! Challenge #374 Week 1

 Welcome to our newest challenge here on the Art Impressions blog!

This time, we want you to

POP IT UP!


Use foam tape to pop up elements, create a pop card of some sort...whatever your heart desires, as long as something is popped up or out.

So...my challenge feature is actually the next one but I am filling in for this one too.
Why, you ask?

Up until now, we haven't found a replacement for our open DT position. Lucky for us, now we have!
We didn't have time to get her all set up this quickly but she'll be joining us in April and you're going to LOVE her!  She's a wonderful marker artist and makes the most adorable cards, many of them dimensional, interactive or shaped cards. For now, you'll have to wait, but just know that we cannot wait to share her work!

Let's see who won our last challenge before I share my projects with you.

Our Top Spot Winner was #5 Lisa L.


She used 5280 - Practically Perfect Girlfriends set and 
5722 - Birthday Journal set for the balloons and banners.

Congratulations to our winners!
Now, I'd like to share my Easter projects with you.

I used the brand new ADORABLE 5872 – Bunny GCH Set.
This is meant to be used with the 5344 – Envelope GCH Set
but if you saw my post on Tuesday, you can see
that it can be used on it's own or on a card.

I made 6 Gift Card Holders in 3 different designs.
My popped up elements are the bows, hands and hats.
I placed them on dimensional foam tape to give my GCHs a 3-D look.


My first was a sweet little girl bunny in delicate pinks and pastels.



My second was a little more "upscale" version done in gray and yellow,
with some glitter and velvet to glam it up.



The black, inner part of the eye was made using the little center hole in the letter O from the Journal Letter Die set.



For my third design, I wanted to include the boys. (You all know I love making masculine projects)
I used the inner ear die along with the eye to create a newsboy cap.



This is just the CUTEST set and I can't get enough of it!
Links to all of the Art Impressions dies and papers I used are below.


I hope you've all been enjoying all of the Easter inspiration the Design Teams have been sharing.
We love seeing what you've all created.
