Today I'm showing another PopCard! This one is sooooo much fun!!! I used #4859 Oldie PopCard (don't forget you need #4862 PopCard Template too). She comes with a wine bottle or a cupcake that you can put in her hand. I chose to let her hide inside without putting a window in the front. So it's a super fun surprise when you open the card and she pops up to you! So the front is just decorated with a simple doily die cut with the sentiment popped up in the center of it.
So have you tried the PopCards yet?? If you have, I 'd love for you to put a link in the comments so I can take a peek! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today, and hope to see you again soon! Until then - stay crafty!!

Our fantastic new PopCards are now available at artimpressions.com! These six stamp and die sets and PopCard Template create amazing and easy pop-up cards that will wow your recipient! Our fun animal designs include accessories and witty phrases perfect for birthdays or just because! If you love our Golden Oldies, you'll love our Oldie PopCard for some 3-D sass! Our PopCard Template is the "key" to make your PopCards function - it is a die that slides into the slits of your image, allowing the image to be pulled from completely flat to popped up for a 3-D effect! Showing is better than telling, so check out our video from the Creativation trade show to see these sets in action.
We have Diane here today with an amazing tutorial to share!
As I was editing the photos of the steps I took in creating this card, I typed some directions directly onto the photos. I hope this helps. Click on each photo to see a larger view. (Kate also has a wonderful video HERE showing how to put the PopCards together. Be sure to check it out!).
First I chose some patterned paper I wanted to use and colored my images to match. The Panda only requires one of each image plus the PopCard Template.
Next up is assembling the mechanism that makes the card interactive! Just fold the template on the 2 center perforated lines to form a "U" shape. Then slide the "arms" of the template through the die cut slots in each piece.
Your panda will look like this from the front, with the PopCard Template hidden behind his layers...
Now adhere the bear to the inside of the card. Then cut 2 slits in the fold across from his belly. I marked with a pencil where I wanted to cut and then turned my card inside out to make it easier to cut the slits.
Bend the little cut section toward the center of the card. A 1/2" strip will adhere to the top of it and also to the back of the bear.
If desired, you can punch or die cut a window for your bear to peek through! I added a piece of acetate in the window.
Assemble layers and finish as desired. I added a single balloon from the set with some Clear Wink of Stella to make it sparkle.
When opened, the Panda pops up!
