Priscilla's Papercrafts: Poppin' UP!

Here's a new-to-me fun fold where you get to show off both sides of the beautiful designer series papers.

I was so happy to see that Terrific Toadstools is going to be carried over to the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog! So I decided to use the stamps and coordinating punch to make this card. AND...I happened to have some of the Toadstool Gardens designer paper left over from Sale-a-Bration.

I started with a piece of the designer paper, cut to 5-1/2" x 5-3/4", and scored 2" from the top. This is important because when you fold and turn your paper over you want the pattern to be going in the right direction. This gave me a Fresh Freesia striped design on the top and the cute little mushroom pattern on the bottom.

The designer paper was adhered to a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, leaving a little border at the top and bottom.

Then I added a piece of Basic White cardstock cut to 4-1/4" x 6" and folded in half at 3".

So when your card is done, the bottom flap folds up over the bottom section of the white card, and the top of the white card folds down over the patterned paper.

Then it's time to decorate!

I took a 3" x 4-1/8" piece of Fresh Freesia and embossed it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder. I stamped the "dirt" from the Terrific Toadstools set in Pecan Pie on Pecan Pie cardstock and fussy-cut it, adhering it to the bottom of the embossed piece.

The toadstools were stamped, punched or fussy-cut and adhered with Dimensionals.

I can't wait to try this with other pieces of DSP - it's always so hard for me to choose which side to show (since it's double-sided paper!), and with this technique I don't have to choose! Makes me happy!
