Valentine ❤️ pop-up card!

 

Det sukkersøte motivet på kortet mitt er et digistempel jeg har hatt lyst til å bruke veldig lenge ~ har såååå mange digis lagret på laptopen, og utrolig mye allerede printet ut.. Det blir jo alltid til at man bruker det 'aller siste nye'. Men siden valentines er i februar tenkte jeg at akkurat dette ville passe perfekt som mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #157. der Bugaboo Stamps er sponsor! 
Vi har alltid et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema på vår utfordringblogg og alle er velkommen til å delta :)

This supercute motif is a Bugaboo digistamp I've had printed out for what seems like.. years?! I got SO many digis saved on my laptop, and a huge amount already printed out on watercolor cardstock... But it's always the newest most 'in' right now images that usually grabs my attention first!
Valentines is coming up and I finally seized the moment for coloring this cutie couple for my DT creation at Creative Fingers #157. where Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

inside detail
how awesome is that interactive ❤️ pop-up die?
took me a long while to figure out how to not mess up the 
bending slits that make the 'pop' effect, but so worth it :)

Stamps/Images: Bugaboo Stamps 'Ava and Deacon Love Word' digistamp. North Star stamps 'Valentine tekster & kjærlige hilsner'.
Papers: I prefer Canson Montvale aquarelle paper (200 g/m coldpressed) for my motifs. Bazzill cardstock. Plain white cardstock. Marianne Design 'Vintage Romance' 6x6 pretty papers bloc.
Embellishments: Lilac satin ribbon that came wrapped around a HeroArts kit.
Tools: I always use my Scor-Pal to score n fold my cards. EK Success® Whale Of A Punch 'Large Circle 1.75'. Cut 'n' Shape #9. fleur de lis corner punch.
Dies: Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Thinlits Dies 'Mixed Media 2'. Neat & Tangled 'Pixelated Heart' Die.
Essentials/Adhesives: Bonefolder. Double sided tape. 3D foam/mosegummi. High-Tack Double Sided Sookwang Scor-Pal Tape and Red Miracle tape. Tonic Studios Nuvo crystal drops 'Silver lining' and glitter drops 'white blizzard'. Silver glitter unknown.

Techniques/Mediums:  I used misc. Luminarte Twinkling H2o's Shimmering Watercolors, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads to watercolor the image. And I paperpieced some elements like the tiny bow, heart, girl feet, and the boys hand - popping up with 3D foam dots. I added some doodling to the image and word with a black Micron felt tip liner pen. The lace diecut I added very strong tape behind, and added silver glitter to the openings, burnishing it in place with a bonefolder. 
I used the ribbon to keep the card locked together as it wanted to pop open - and I rgret not tying it first and taping it to the front, leaving the ends to be tied on the back with a button / magnet or somethin, as the ribbon has to be tied again by the recipient, and not everyone is able to make a nice bow ;)
