WOWWWW - Kudos to you for hanging in there with all the trials and tribulations with this card!!!! I only hope I will have half when I attempt mine. Thank you for doing this for us!!!!!
Cool card. I like it. It reminded me of being a kid and making my mother pop-up cards by just according folding a strip of paper and gluing it to a hand drawn image - I know I'm old but that's what we did back in the 50's.
oh my gosh, you have so much patience!! I would've been throwing everything out the window, after I kicked it and smashed up the dies! LOL!! I sure do appreciate this tutorial Lindsay!! I'd like to see the DIY version next! hahahaha!! ;-) As always your card is very pretty and I did learn a lot (like I'll not be buying those dies!). Thank you so much for all you do!! I really look forward to your tutorials!
While I love a challenge and working through problems, I have to keep in mind the investment in materials and mostly time. I sell to raise money for a non-profit. This is worth the time and effort for someone special and time does not factor in for personal gifting. I would try this card but I think I will try the old fashioned way and not use the die. I am so glad you share your problem solving process. I have some Christmas pop ups with positioning on the fold since last year and have yet to produce a decent card. You have given me courage to try again. I am grateful you take the time to help others like me. You have what I call a generosity of spirit!
I liked this! Those watercolor crayons seem pretty cool, and just dabbing at the lines to get a little more color seemed to save a lot of time with no fuss! Really a great looking card. Thank you for showing us.
Love this set! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I don't think I would have had the nerve to figure it out on my own, lol. I love your color choices too. You are awesome Lindsay!
Thank you! I have the stamps and both die sets. I am not good at cutting so the extra money made sense to me. Waxed paper - brilliant! I put every one of my vases on first. Thank you for showing me it should be done last. I have stamped with the lyra water color crayons before. I didn't with thdse but that was GENIUS! My daughter's fiancee and I mass produced these. We gave my mother about 45 of these. We colored them with colored pencils and watercolor pencils. We colored for 2 weeks! I truly love this set and I thank you for all the tips and tricks. I used tombow. I think I want to try it with red line tape. THANK YOU! This set isn't cheap but it won't ever go out of style. I am so glad you did this video!!!!!!!
Thank you for explaining this stamp and die set. I hadn't bought it because it looked confusing. I didn't know I could use my water color crayons in this manner. Boy, I learned something new today! Thank you. Have a great day.
I love the card! It was helpful seeing the areas to watch out for while assembling the card and how you solved any problems. After all in real life things rarely go smoothly the first time or even the second or third time. Thanks for the demo and showing how these art tools can be used. You're an inspiration.
very cool card ma'am. y'all are a bunch of talented. i reckon things look mighty easy when y'all are making them. thank you for posting so many incredibly helpful videos.
Very pretty! I am so glad that you are still doing these! I have been keeping everyone of them in a file on my youtube! I have made cards for years but mine are not as pretty as some of other crafters so I love watching so it helps me get better! I have never tried the popup cards yet or even the shaker cards. Will have to give both a try. Hope you keep up the stamp school! Have a blessed day!
What an impact! Really great card. These flowers will last much longer than real flowers. You have wonderful surgical skills. I'm glad to see other's projects don't go so smoothly either. I was wondering what was wrong with me that my projects aren't as effortless as some of the videos I've watched. Thanks for showing the corrections for what could go wrong instead of editing them out.
I LOVE that you're truly authentically YOU!!! The card came out so gorgeous, thanks for sharing, going to have to order this stamp set, I just don't have enough...(so untrue!) Keep up the great work!!!
Lindsay, Thank you for giving me another temptation to want to get a manual die cutter (LOL). In all honesty, thank you for letting us see your difficulties because this is the stuff we all go through. On a timelapse, the best cuts are chosen and then it's made to seem like it's a walk in the park when it's not always the case, Best, JM
I'm so glad you did this video - warts and all! It was good to see the problems that can come up with this particular die set and how to solve for them! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing how to put this together! I have not been successful on finding instructions for this die and placing it together on their website. of all the places, you'd think it would've been there! really appreciate your tips and tricks for this card.
Thanks, Lindsay, for showing this video!!! Just bought the stamps and card-cutting dies, and thought "how cool--I can make a cool pop-up card myself"! Well, NOT!!! At least NOT until I discovered this video!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Now working on my second and third cards!! Woo hoo!! (Still haven't decided if I need to get the flower dies...I just cut out the flowers, leaves and butterfly myself)
Pretty nifty card, so so glad you have gone back to live tutorial videos, shows your personality and much more interesting to watch. Thanks, your my idol!
I have this set and I love that you used H2O crayons! I stamped embossed some of mine and did watercolor paints and it gave a nice effect also! Thanks for you videos! They are fantastic!
actually love it Lindsay, that much of a detail card, easily takes half hour or more for card makers. an absolute true account of what can and does go wrong when creating beautiful cards. Thats the beauty of papercraft :)
Thanks for the tutorial. I learned a lot! You made me want to buy the pop up card dies now. Before I just didn't understand how they worked exactly. Or more how t make one with the weird shaped dies I seen in the packages.
Thank you, Lindsay! I have this stamp and die set and I haven't used it yet. (Didn't really know how to do it! :) Your tutorial is definitely going to help me!
Lindsay, FYI your video is wonderful...only. One that shows entire process for pop ups...and water coloring is a bonus. However, I mostly want to point out how keeping your problems in videos, then resolving them is ther MOST appreciated. Trial and error WITH us...best lesson for us all!
Beautiful! Success is right! I have had this set for a long time and never used it...you must have heard me, been siting here for 3 days trying to decide what to make for my daughter's birthday card...this is perfect, although I am so late with the card, she is going to love this, I just know it...thank you so much Lindsay, you have come to my rescue, not only with inspiration time and time again, but this time with a perfect card!!!! You're the best!
Well Lindsay, I DID IT!!!! Yea, I am also making 2, finished one that I am sending my cousin, and now am working on my daughter's and I already have the inside done on her's...well almost...after the first one, the second one is a piece of cake...thanks again...for saving the day! You're a bit like Supergirl without the costume!
Nice save! I have been following the way Fran shows how to use the pop up die with a slightly wider piece of cardstock that covers the outside. I like your way much better with just covering the front of the card. I just got the new pop up die set that only has the one pop up. I'm hoping that will be a little easier to work with. TFS!
Your water coloring is beautiful! I will have to get out my lyra's & make one of these cards. I have that pop up die & it did seem rather odd to me. I'm glad you left in everything so I know what to do & what not to do when I make my card. Thanks! Jil
This awesome, Lindsay! Sorry I missed commenting on this earlier. We recommend Zip Dry Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives. It is a wet glue which facilitates moving the flowers as needed for placement, but it just rolls off like rubber cement if it gets where it's not wanted, and it dries very quickly. PS...we have tons of videos showing how to assemble this! :) But thanks so much for addressing the issues with your viewers. You always do such a great job!
Hi Lindsay, Don't know if i would take on a card like that...lol looks too much like work! :) But i loved watching you figure it out and make it. Thanks so much for sharing this. Hugs! deb
Lindsay... I was thinking I was the only one having problems with this set. I bought all the stamps and die cuts which was an expensive investment.. honestly I wish I hadn't bothered, so time consuming and fiddly. I wouldn't have bought them if I'd seen your video first haha...TYFS ..Hugs Kat
I love your card and I am so glad I am not the only one who has trouble with pop-up cards. lol I think it almost would be easier to layer up the flowers or whatever you are going to put on it and then add it to one of the pop-up strips thingy then to try and glue each one on the three different pop-up whatever they are called. lol It is still a nice card and its nice to see video were you see a person struggle b/c so many people never show this and then I am getting upset and thinking there is something wrong with me b/c if everyone else can do it then why not me. however I am still jealous of your talent, lol
The card is beautiful Lindsay, the water color crayons really does I nice job. I like my water color pencils, but really need to get some of those crayons. Btw your glue gun looks a lot like mind, I've had it forever and wish every thing I buy would last as long as it has.
Lindsay, I love seeing the process. I'm always having "issues" and I struggle to work them out. If you have the same problems too, I feel as there is still hope for me. LOL!!
I love the watercolor effect on the stamped pieces; beautiful! I watched Fran from Stampendous do this card in her video and she starts from the front and works backwards with the placement of the pieces. That might make it a little easier? I love all your videos; thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Oh, Lindsay, you are an enabler! lol I have started making cards and now I want a manual die cutter. Your videos have shown me how versatile these machines can be. Hey, I had a thought while watching you struggle in the video with keeping the pop-ups from sticking outside the perimeter of the card. Why not butt something against the edge of the card before you start the layout? Anything with some height would do, like an acrylic or wood stamping block. This way if the flower pop-up falls off the edge of the card you know immediately, before you've glued it in place, because it will bump into the side of the block.
What I'm thinking (not having tried it for myself but merely playing Monday morning quarterback) is that if the bouquet was assembled first, like you did in the layout, then affixed to the tabs with doublesided tape all at once, it might be easier. Dimensional adhesive could separate layers of flowers where they overlap, but you'd have one cohesive unit to smoosh down onto those tabs. A paintbrush handle could poke the sticky part of the tab securely onto the bouquet as it's held in the other hand, unless the tabs protrude sufficiently to allow for fingers. I'd use tape mainly because glue, even cyanoacrylic, always allows the joined surfaces to skid over each other for a period of time before it's fully cured. One could even take it a step further by skipping the tab-cutting die altogether and prefabricating one's own tabs. The card is beautiful!
Such a beautiful card! Love everything except the choice of card stock that you added for the tabletop? and label, they look muted and dirty compared to the vibrance of the water colour. Still loving it though. And now you can add floristry to your list of skills!
Lindsay: Fran from Stampendous made a demo tutorial in May 2016 on their pop-up stamp die set. A bit late for you and your pop-up card tribulations, but informative none the less.
Hi Lindsay. Thank you for a great video, once again. I just got this die set. I think you would have had an easier time if you had started from the bottom up. I may be wrong because I have not had a chance to play with mine yet.
The Stampendous website has a Tips & Techniques tab and when you click on it, it has Pop Up tips. If you follow the order on the packaging, it's a big help. The leaves go on separately, that was mistake #1. And the vase does go on first. Wet glue is slow drying, but it gives you a minute to move things. :)
Thank you!!! I'm enjoying your stamp school. I have started making Gelli prints, and I have some beautiful sheets even some on deli paper that I would like to use in some projects. So, yesterday, I took a couple of stamps from Micael's $1 bin - pumpkin, raven and an owl in a tree. One of the pumpkin stamps came out nicely on my Gelli print on deli paper. I would like to make a card using it, but I have no idea where to begin on my composition and what specific elements go into the composition of a card. Of course, I have observed some of the steps that you go through, but I'm writing to ask something specific. Would you please consider doing a stamp school tutorial on the steps or things to consider when designing your own original card? I know this is a HUGE topic, but you explain things so well so even if you just got us started it would be great to learn the thought process behind card design. THANK YOU!!!
I know this isn't a new vid, but it may help others when assembling the inside pop-up to consider doing a dry-fit first, take a photo with your phone, then remove the pieces & glue them back in, starting with the furthest away piece, working forward to the one which is closest to you.
PSA for everyone: the build a bouquet stampset as well as Stampendous's other $11.99 stamps are available on Amazon on sale for $8.97! Also got the fall leaves from the house mouse card.
Lindsay I absolutely LOVE this card!! I especially like the front of the card, it's simply gorgeous. I was wondering though, do you think this watercolor stamping technique would work with water soluble oil pastels (portfolio water soluble oil pastels)? I dont own any water color crayons yet, so I was just wondering which would be better, water soluble oil pastels or watercolor pencils. Also, do you have any suggestions as to what kind of water color paper would be good to practice on and start making cards? I'm just starting making cards, and so far all I have is just plain ole office supply card stock, and I also have a canson XL multi media pad. I've been wanting to get some decent quality water color paper that is fairly affordable, something that I can use to practice my water colors as well as use in card making, but every time I start looking around at all the different types/brands, I just get overwhelmed, especially since I have no idea what the different types really mean and what they are for. Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated, as always. Thank you for this amazing card tutorial. Love that you dont cut out your mistakes, it makes a beginner like me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one who makes mistakes, lol. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us, and for helping us out so much.
I have been using the canson xl watercolor paper for cards and stamping and it is inexpensive. Try what you have for media before buying new. I think pencils are more versitile than crayons if you have to choose.
Thank you for showing the order of placing items. You're right that no one has actually showed how.
That's why your the best!
You don't over edit, we get to see the corrections to be made
WOWWWW - Kudos to you for hanging in there with all the trials and tribulations with this card!!!! I only hope I will have half when I attempt mine. Thank you for doing this for us!!!!!

I love the card as well as watching your trials! Thanks for all of it!
Love the card...thanks for showing how the assembly works and how to fix the overhang problem! TFS
I know it was a pain to make, but really one of the prettiest cards I've seen in a long time!
Lovely card! I would LOVE a pop-up tutorial where you don't use a die! Another great video!
You definitely deserve a thumbs up for that one, Lindsay. I wouldn't want to make a fiddly card like that on camera. It's very pretty. Xo, Shell
oh my gosh, you have so much patience!! I would've been throwing everything out the window, after I kicked it and smashed up the dies! LOL!! I sure do appreciate this tutorial Lindsay!! I'd like to see the DIY version next! hahahaha!! ;-)
As always your card is very pretty and I did learn a lot (like I'll not be buying those dies!). Thank you so much for all you do!! I really look forward to your tutorials!

I got this set, made my Sister - Law a card, It turned out Beautiful, thank you!
I liked this! Those watercolor crayons seem pretty cool, and just dabbing at the lines to get a little more color seemed to save a lot of time with no fuss! Really a great looking card. Thank you for showing us.
Wow! Great job! This is a lot of work, but I would love to make one for a special friend who lives far away! Love it!! Thank you for the idea!
Thanks for sharing this. I have had this set for quite a while and didn't know how to work with it and now, thanks to you, I do.
I just love your videos! I always watch them while I'm painting!
Love this set! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I don't think I would have had the nerve to figure it out on my own, lol. I love your color choices too. You are awesome Lindsay!
I love this series. 👍
Thank you! I have the stamps and both die sets. I am not good at cutting so the extra money made sense to me.
Waxed paper - brilliant!
I put every one of my vases on first. Thank you for showing me it should be done last.
I have stamped with the lyra water color crayons before. I didn't with thdse but that was GENIUS!
My daughter's fiancee and I mass produced these. We gave my mother about 45 of these.
We colored them with colored pencils and watercolor pencils. We colored for 2 weeks!
I truly love this set and I thank you for all the tips and tricks. I used tombow. I think I want to try it with red line tape.
THANK YOU! This set isn't cheap but it won't ever go out of style. I am so glad you did this video!!!!!!!
Another lovely card! You definitely have more patience than me. But perseverance won out and the finished card made it all worthwhile! TFS! Janet 💕
Thank you for explaining this stamp and die set. I hadn't bought it because it looked confusing. I didn't know I could use my water color crayons in this manner. Boy, I learned something new today! Thank you. Have a great day.

I love your version with watercolor crayons. I have sown from stampin up. I can try this. Thank you for the inspiration!
Love the card Lindsay! Beautiful!!!!!
I love your pop up card. It turned out great. I have this pop up set and love it. It just has so much going for it.
Very pretty! I am so glad that you are still doing these! I have been keeping everyone of them in a file on my youtube! I have made cards for years but mine are not as pretty as some of other crafters so I love watching so it helps me get better! I have never tried the popup cards yet or even the shaker cards. Will have to give both a try. Hope you keep up the stamp school! Have a blessed day!
What an impact! Really great card. These flowers will last much longer than real flowers. You have wonderful surgical skills. I'm glad to see other's projects don't go so smoothly either. I was wondering what was wrong with me that my projects aren't as effortless as some of the videos I've watched. Thanks for showing the corrections for what could go wrong instead of editing them out.
looks great Lindsay. I am so glad you did this video I had so many issues with it myself.
i have this set , love your watercoloring, u have given me incentive to make this card!!! thank you!!
I love all of your cool stamps!
VERY pretty card Lindsay. Very informative tutorial; I never would have been able to figure all that out on my own.
WOW! Great card!!
I LOVE that you're truly authentically YOU!!! The card came out so gorgeous, thanks for sharing, going to have to order this stamp set, I just don't have enough...(so untrue!) Keep up the great work!!!
I know what you mean:)
Lindsay,
Thank you for giving me another temptation to want to get a manual die cutter (LOL). In all honesty, thank you for letting us see your difficulties because this is the stuff we all go through. On a timelapse, the best cuts are chosen and then it's made to seem like it's a walk in the park when it's not always the case,
Best,

Pretty nifty card, so so glad you have gone back to live tutorial videos, shows your personality and much more interesting to watch. Thanks, your my idol!
Great job. I needed to be shown how to use these dies. We get them, and then don't know how to use them. Thanks a lot.
Beautiful card. I have lots of trouble with pop ups. Thank you for your great tips.
Thank for another great video !!! I truly enjoy your video's. I have learned a lot from them. :)
Great tutorial, again. Thank you,
I have this set and I love that you used H2O crayons! I stamped embossed some of mine and did watercolor paints and it gave a nice effect also! Thanks for you videos! They are fantastic!
Excellant teaching video!
It looks Awesome! I know this will help many.
Beautiful card!
So pretty!
Great job. Love it.
totally adorable, although I don't have any crafty card tools , this was so cute to watch*
This is a wow card. You inspire me. When things go wrong you always have the right fix. 😺💞
It is perfect and beautiful!!
Chalk and watercolour work well together with regards to stamping...Yels experimenting while watching your videos
Amazing!! I would be in tears. Looks like it could be a frustrating project!
I love this effect.
Loved it!!!
i loved watching this video:)...very nice card
thank you. always learn so much
actually love it Lindsay, that much of a detail card, easily takes half hour or more for card makers. an absolute true account of what can and does go wrong when creating beautiful cards. Thats the beauty of papercraft :)
I have this set & now I know why it remains unopened. I promise to take it on, loved the watercolor look.
Thanks for the tutorial. I learned a lot! You made me want to buy the pop up card dies now. Before I just didn't understand how they worked exactly. Or more how t make one with the weird shaped dies I seen in the packages.

Love the card. I have wanted to do pop ups but haven't yet.
tfs!
Beautiful! Success is right! I have had this set for a long time and never used it...you must have heard me, been siting here for 3 days trying to decide what to make for my daughter's birthday card...this is perfect, although I am so late with the card, she is going to love this, I just know it...thank you so much Lindsay, you have come to my rescue, not only with inspiration time and time again, but this time with a perfect card!!!! You're the best!
+Crafty Grandma thanks, it was tricky and this is the 2nd time I made it, I made one for my sisters birthday last weekend and she loved it!
Well Lindsay, I DID IT!!!! Yea, I am also making 2, finished one that I am sending my cousin, and now am working on my daughter's and I already have the inside done on her's...well almost...after the first one, the second one is a piece of cake...thanks again...for saving the day!

When I mass produced about 45 of these I attached flowers and leaves together then attached each "bundle" to a tab. It did make it easier.
The card is beautiful Lindsay, the water color crayons really does I nice job. I like my water color pencils, but really need to get some of those crayons. Btw your glue gun looks a lot like mind, I've had it forever and wish every thing I buy would last as long as it has.

Well, this confirms it! Pop up cards are just too much work!! lol

Great lindsay, We don't have the dies over here yahoo, save money.
Thank you, I'll try one later, not yet.
Thank you!!! I'm enjoying your stamp school. I have started making Gelli prints, and I have some beautiful sheets even some on deli paper that I would like to use in some projects. So, yesterday, I took a couple of stamps from Micael's $1 bin - pumpkin, raven and an owl in a tree. One of the pumpkin stamps came out nicely on my Gelli print on deli paper. I would like to make a card using it, but I have no idea where to begin on my composition and what specific elements go into the composition of a card. Of course, I have observed some of the steps that you go through, but I'm writing to ask something specific. Would you please consider doing a stamp school tutorial on the steps or things to consider when designing your own original card? I know this is a HUGE topic, but you explain things so well so even if you just got us started it would be great to learn the thought process behind card design. THANK YOU!!!
+encouraginghope good idea!
I know this isn't a new vid, but it may help others when assembling the inside pop-up to consider doing a dry-fit first, take a photo with your phone, then remove the pieces & glue them back in, starting with the furthest away piece, working forward to the one which is closest to you.
Good idea!
PSA for everyone: the build a bouquet stampset as well as Stampendous's other $11.99 stamps are available on Amazon on sale for $8.97! Also got the fall leaves from the house mouse card.
Since most of us don't have a die like this can you please show us how to do this pop up card without these dies?.please?
would using the tape you used for adhering the base work to glue the flowers?
This was great! Thank you for posting☺️. Btw, can the water crayons work on clear stamps!
+Marie Rivera yes:)
do you find that the atg gun has good adhesion over time? I don't want things to come apart over months or years.
Lindsay I absolutely LOVE this card!! I especially like the front of the card, it's simply gorgeous. I was wondering though, do you think this watercolor stamping technique would work with water soluble oil pastels (portfolio water soluble oil pastels)? I dont own any water color crayons yet, so I was just wondering which would be better, water soluble oil pastels or watercolor pencils. Also, do you have any suggestions as to what kind of water color paper would be good to practice on and start making cards? I'm just starting making cards, and so far all I have is just plain ole office supply card stock, and I also have a canson XL multi media pad. I've been wanting to get some decent quality water color paper that is fairly affordable, something that I can use to practice my water colors as well as use in card making, but every time I start looking around at all the different types/brands, I just get overwhelmed, especially since I have no idea what the different types really mean and what they are for. Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated, as always.
Thank you for this amazing card tutorial. Love that you dont cut out your mistakes, it makes a beginner like me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one who makes mistakes, lol. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us, and for helping us out so much.
I have been using the canson xl watercolor paper for cards and stamping and it is inexpensive. Try what you have for media before buying new. I think pencils are more versitile than crayons if you have to choose.
