This month we have a lot of fun products to decorate the inside of the cards and some new pop-up and interactive dies! How exciting?

Introducing the Inside Pop-up Stacks Die: Unleash Your Card's Creative Potential.

In the world of card making, there's nothing quite as enchanting as a pop-up card. The element of surprise and delight that comes with a three-dimensional object springing to life is simply captivating. If you're a fan of pop-up cards, you'll be thrilled to hear about our latest addition to the collection - the Inside Pop-up Stacks Die.

This incredible tool is designed to effortlessly cut out the intricate inner mechanisms that bring those pop-up objects inside the card to life!

At the heart of every pop-up card lies its inner mechanism. It's what gives the card that magical ability to transform from a flat piece of paper to a captivating work of art. With the Inside Pop-up Stacks Die, creating those mesmerizing pop-up objects has never been easier.

Tips for Success:

1. Choose the right paper: Opt for sturdy cardstock to ensure the durability of your pop-up objects.
2. Precision in placement: Carefully align the die on your paper to ensure a seamless cut for smooth movement. 
   There are two guide maarks on the die to place it directly in the centre of the card base 
3. Embellish and personalize: Once your pop-up object is assembled, feel free to add embellishments, such as glitter, ribbons, or even small trinkets, to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
   OR use a coordinating stencil - Stacking Box Stencil to decorate the die cuts. 

Also, I used some other dies as Flat Paper Bag Die, Wine Bottles Die, Papercut Party Banners Die to create a birthday party scene inside of my card. I decorated those boxes with a small die cut bows from Stacking Box Die. 

With Stacking Box Die you can decorate the inside pop-up box and the front of the card, creating a cohesive and visually stunning look. Create a matching stack of boxes or use the die separately to customize your designs.

For these to cards I used Stacking Box Die with the Stacking Box Stencil. 

Inside each card I put gift cards to the online shops and they are ready to go to my friends :)

On my next card I used Stacking Box Die only. I colored the boxes with distress inks and stamped the sentiment Inside Sentiments Birthday Stamp Set directly on the box. I cut out a little bottle using Wine Bottles Die to match the sentiment :)

To create a card background I used a new Tiny Diamonds Foil Plate and Opal foil. I applied distress inks over the foiled pattern. 

  And here is the new additon to our collerctin of pop-up background dies - Pop-up Heart Die and coordinating stencil Duo-tone Heart Stencil. These new tools are designed to enhance your pop-up card creations with intricate heart designs.

You can easily lift up the hearts with your fingers or leave the hearts flat. 

(On this card I used white pigment ink and Pink Distress ink over the kraft cardstock) 

If you want to use a colored cardstock with this die and stencils simpply use Dzistress Oxide inks to color the hears. 

On the next two cards, I decided to take a creative approach by cutting off some parts of the hearts, resulting in unique and captivating pattern designs.

I glued the kraft panel over the A2 shaker pocket and put inside some shiny discs.

And here is a card with a full vellum panel. I applied little dots of glue behind the pearl embellishments

On my next cards I was experimenting with different gold mediums to decorate the cards.

On the next card I decided to skip the die cut part on the fron of the card and create pop up elements indise of the cards. I used new Inside Pop-up Hugs Die on the left card 

and Inside Pop-up XOs Die on the right card. Also, I used those xo's to decorate the front of the card. 

 How fun are those "inside" dies? 

Last, but not least - cute cards using Intertwined Bear Hugs Die. 

The Intertwined Bear Hugs Die is a delightful addition to your card-making arsenal, allowing you to create adorable and heartwarming designs. Let's explore some cute card ideas using this charming die.

   For this card, die-cut two bear shapes using the Intertwined Bear Hugs Die. Choose complementary colored cardstock or patterned paper to bring the bears to life. Adhere one bear on the front of the card and the other bear on the inside, so it pops up when the card is opened. 

   Embellish with small details like googly eyes, a tiny bow (included in the die set), or a sentiment that says "Love your Bear Hugs" to complete the adorable look. This card is perfect for sending warm wishes and hugs to someone special.
