Floating Easter Quokka Pop Up

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project celebrates Easter using Kat Scrappiness products. The products I used on this pop up card are listed below. 

I stamped the quokka from KS Easter Quokkas stamp set on watercolor paper. I used Versafine Onyx black ink which is a watercolor friendly ink. Before applying watercolor, I dried the ink with a heat gun. I colored the quokka using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor. I dried the watercolor with a heat gun before die cutting the image using the coordinating die. I die cut another piece of the quokka which I will use as a backing later on.

I die cut the KS Pop Up Box craft die on orange, pink and yellow cardstocks. The die comes with three tiers of platforms. I die cut the lowest tier on pink and yellow cardstocks, while I die cut the main frame on orange cardstock.

I die cut the KS Buffalo Plaid Background craft die on blue cardstock. I adhered this to the pink tier die cut, trimming of the excess. I adhered the left over on the orange main frame, trimming any excess. I flicked gold paint on the pop-up box die cuts using the same gold watercolor I used on the egg on the stamped image. 

Using two sizes of ovals from the KS Never Ending Oval craft dies, I die cut an oval frame on lavender cardstock. I die cut two pieces on lavender cardstock and an extra piece on white cardstock.

On one of the lavender oval frames, I stamped the sentiments from the stamp set on the oval frame using Versafine ink. I prepared the area first with an anti-static tool. I used different colors of embossing powders for each sentiment, using the same colors I used on the pop-up box. 

I needed to embellish the oval frame. Since I don't have a KS flower stamp, I used the flower on the basket with the quokka included in the stamp set. I inked the flower using the same Versafine ink and stamped it on watercolor paper. I dried the ink with a heat gun and colored it with watercolor. I fussy cut the flowers and adhered it to the frame, in between the sentiments. I added a dot of glitter glue to the flower centers. I set this aside to dry.

I adhered a transparent thread to the back of the stamped quokka. I adhered the extra quokka die cut to the back of the stamped quokka to cover the thread. I adhered the knotted ends of the thread to the white oval frame die cut making sure the thread is stretched along the oval frame. I adhered the oval frames to the back and front of this white oval frame making sure the stamped frame is on the front, and that the front oval frame has only glue on the top half of it.. 

It is time to assemble the pop-up box. I adhered the left tab of the yellow tier to the left side of the orange main frame die cut. I adhered the pink tier after. I adhered the oval frame to the yellow tier by sandwiching the yellow tier in between the frames.

I added glue to the right tabs of the pink and yellow tiers. I closed up the orange main frame to these tabs to connect the tabs. I set this aside to dry. 

I hope you like today's projects. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
