Once again I get to make a presentation for the Card Makers Success Summit. Since I always try to come up with something unique for you, this time I made a Castle Pop-Up card. Imagine the fun making it! In addition, I designed a simple variation of the Castle Pop-Up card free for you on my website.
For the outside of the card, a simple little castle matches the inside pop-up castle.
Below the photo shows the inside of the Castle pop-up card. I love the dimension and the way card pops. If you like, you can light up the windows with an LED tea light in the central tower.
In my tutorial, I show you three ways to add dimension or mimic stone. You can cut out the stone shape shown below. You can use an embossing folder for the stone or brick texture. And you can actually draw the stone with your Cricut.
Materials for the Castle Pop-Up Card
- Castle card SVG pattern from the Card Makers Success Summit
- Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air or other cutting machine to cut out the pattern
- Light Grip Cutting Mat (or use a standard grip mat that has been used a lot and isn't too sticky)
- Several colors of 65# card stock 8.5" x 11"
- Background card stock 8.5" x 11" folded in half
- Glue - I prefer Bearly Art Glue
- Embossing Folder if you want to emboss the castle surface
- Optional - Distressing Inks to give dimension to the castle
- Cricut Pen to draw surface stone if chosen
- Other pens can be used with your Cricut using these adapters which work great
