Tutorial on SCS - Free Standing Pop-Up card
MaryJo Albright wrote today’s wonderful tutorial on SCS. I wanted to make a sample yesterday, but I had a nasty migraine that started after grocery shopping. I spend the rest of the day in my dark bedroom. This morning the medicine finally started working. That’s why my post is a bit late.
I incorporated Monday’s technique challenge Faux Dry embossing, also known as Shadow stamping, and Tuesday’s Color challenge (Rose Red, Basic Black and Kraft).
I stamped my Rose Red cardstock base with the Stitched Background in black ink.
For the center panel the main stamp from Essence of Love was first stamped in White Craft ink, then overstamped with Rose Red craft ink on Kraft cardstock.
And yes, I actually used my Stamp-a-majic. Usually I don’t use it (too much work) and just eyeball, but for this technique it is essential.
I layered the Kraft cardstock on a scalloped black layer I had cut with Long Rectangle Nestabilities. I paper pierced the edges of the Kraft cardstock and stamped My Friend from Fundamental Phrases in black on the upper right hand side.
Retired ribbon was tied around the front panel. Over it I layered the sentiment. It was stamped on Whisper White cardstock in black ink and punched out with my large oval punch. The “weed” stamp was stamped in Rose Red classic ink after stamping it off twice and the edges were sponged. The oval was layered on a 1 3/8″ Kraft circle and a black scallop circle.
I inked up the butterfly from Essence of Love with Rose Red classic ink and outlined the edges with the black journaling marker. It was stamped on white cardstock and cut out. I adhered one butterfly on the top left of my main panel and another one made just like that on the top right of the sentiment panel. Last I added Dazzling Diamond Glitter with Crystal Effect over both butterflies.
If you haven’t made one of these cards, go ahead. Try them out. They are super easy. Let’s fill the new gallery made for it on SCS. Add a link to your card in the comment box here so I can check it out.
Have a great day! I hope my migraine will stay away so that I can play with my new goodies that should arrive early this evening. I just CAN’T wait!!!!!

This is stunning! I love essence of love. Beautiful. I feel your pain with the migraines. It’s absolutely debilitating. I started taking medication 2 months ago to prevent migraines, not just treat ones you already have and so far, so good. It’s been 3 weeks since my last migraine!! Woohoo!
Have a great day
This is really neat Beate. I haven’t made one of these in years. Thanks for always hunting down a wonderful tutorial and author. Hope the headache stays away, not fun having new toys and not feeling well.
Beautiful Beate! I love the colors you chose!! I have never made one of these, and want to try!! I hope your migraine stays away - I get them too and they are awful! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex

Gorgeous card Beate - beautifully done! I’ll have to check out MaryJo’s tutorial soon! Hope you are feeling better
Beautiful card Beate! LOVE the glittery butterflies! I’ll try this out later today! Sure hope you are feeling better…migraines are awful!!
Gorgeous card, Beate! Love what you did with this technique. I gave it a whirl the other night but I wasn’t sure I was happy with the result, so I haven’t posted it yet. I’ll have a look at it tonight to see if I can improve on it and if not, I’ll just let it be and post as is.
I’ve always loved that set, and you’ve used it beautifully. I’m excited to know your new stuff is coming tomorrow. I cannot wait what’ll come out of your clever li’l mind with the new stuff!

This is just fabulous. What a gorgeous take on the challenges; outstanding details. Love your freestanding pop-up card! Hope you are feeling better. Migraines are the pits!
This card is gorgeous Patty ! Hope you are feeling better soon !
Dear Beate,
Your card is beautiful. Fun little 3-D project! I used this card as part of a Thanksgiving place setting class last November. Mary Jo had great ideas for that, too! I love this stamp set–wish it had been around longer. Bummer getting those headaches. Haven’t had one in quite some time. Chiropractic helped after years of treating with prescription drugs. Wishing you well, lorijane
Those colours together are stunning! I LOVE your project and I love the technique too (will have to try that one!). Thanks Beate and hope you are feeling better and get to play with your new toys! I can hear your excitment from here! LOL
