Check out this fun 3D Pop Up Card! (Part of a Simon Says Stamp blog hop!)

Today features a cardmaking first for me: a 3D card project! And it’s all thanks to a cleverly designed die set!

It’s Day 1 of the Rainbows blog hop for Simon Says Stamp and this 3D Card Die set is just too freaking cool! Never thought I’d make a pop up card, but then again, never thought I’d be a card maker.

So glad I am!

Here is my video showing you how to use the new 3D Card Die set:

    What a great way to display a focal image or sentiment. Love your colors you used and that stencil. Great card. TFS

  3. Claudia says

    I love this (ahem) purple card! And the sassy inside greeting – too funny!

  7. em says

    Very funny. I had other ideas for that adorable little pop-up box…like maybe a pretty little watercolored flower or a cute image for a child. But combined with those messages….perfect….such a fun way to use it.

  11. Lori Spitzer says

    Poo! You know, I had this die set in my cart and then I decided on other stuff. Now I wish I had kept it. Your card is delightful – very appealing visually. I am going to add that back to the cart……
    Have a freakin’ awesome weekend!

    That 3d die set is neat. I will be watching the video next to see how it works. Thanks CZ!

  22. Steffi H. says

    I love the slimline stencils in this release. You made a wonderful card using them.

  24. Tania Wilhelmi says

    The 3D Pop Up cards are fun. Love the clean and simple design. Thanks for sharing

  26. Melodie Freund says

    Love your style! I just ordered several items after watching your video on making the 3D box.

  27. Nicole Bell says

    Was initially a bit intimidated by this 3D card die – but you make it look so easy! I will have to give it a try 😊

  30. Teri S. says

    Something so different from a standard A2 card. I love the humourous sentiments in this set.

  33. Kathryn Gagne says

    Nice!! You always know how to make the cards shine whether simple or complicated.

  36. Siobhann Bakke says

    Look at you go MRS CZ…. your viddies are always colourful and fun! Great stuff!!

  37. Tami B says

    I haven’t made one of these cards in years. (I used to love making them w/ photographs to send to the family.) Excited to see them coming around again- & a whole lot easier now that there is a die set.

  38. Susanbcards says

    Great card! I saw you on the YT live and it was great to hear your backstory. Great die and love the sentiment you used. Funny!

  40. Cyndi Morris says

    Love that fun pop-up card (my grandchildren would love it, too). This is such a fun die and I love those sentiments included.

  42. Miesje says

    Those sentiments are hysterical! Love the pop up box. It was great seeing you on the live today with Heidi!

  45. Denise J says

    I enjoyed your video! The way you were talking softly while doing some of the work reminded me of watching Bob Ross paint! Thanks for the inspiration!

  46. Dee Earnshaw says

    OMG what an extraordinary card – I am going to save this video so that I have it on hand – thanks for sharing this awesome card design

  48. Nancy K Rodeberg says

    That sentiment on the back is hilarious! Love it! I love your CZ designed sets in this release. So much goodness!

  49. Lindar C says

    Cute card! I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t use Scor-tape with ease, it’s always a struggle, lol

  50. Daria Zender says

    Fabulous!! The sentiment is too funny! I haven’t made one of these in years – I’m going to have to make one soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

  51. Kerrie G. says

    Cathy, I think you are amazing. Love your sense of humor and design style. I think I need the die now.

  53. Milena P says

    I love the products you designed for this release. Thanks for all your color-wheel tips!

  56. Susan Austin says

    CZ you always make me giggle!! EVERY. TIME. I love watching you do new things (well also regular things) and watching you leave the struggle bus behind!! You keep doing you and making people like me feel like they can be doing them!!! YOU ROCK!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  57. Dee says

    That would make an EXCELLENT Get Well for someone that is fighting a cold…because it looks to me like a box of kleenex! LOVE IT!!!

  58. Monica Linerode says

    Such a clever card. Reminds me of a tissue box. So cute. Thanks for taking the time to post.

  59. Michele W says

    Thanks for the helpful tutorial. These pop-up cards are really cute. So many possibilities.

  60. Patricia says

    What a fun card. Thanks for showing us you putting it together. The “Obsessed With You” stamps are a hoot!

  64. Lee says

    So cute — looks like you box dots are reflecting the card dots. Gotta put that small sentiment on EVERY card.

  67. Vinessa Buckland says

    I love so much about this- so much fun. The dots, the colors, message. Also love your advice to “live on the wild side!”

  71. Pat says

    I love this type of pop up card. they are great to display and your rainbow colors of dots look really good on it!

  74. Linda Grady says

    What a fun new-to-me technique. Love that is fits into an A-2 envelope. Easy to follow directions.

  75. Savannagh Kacey says

    This pop-up idea is so versatile. You could dress it up or dress it down. Embellish the box or not. Florals, seascapes with a boat that pops up, birthday cakes, tons of balloons, – the sky is the limit! Thanks for the inspiration!

  77. Marie Hansen says

    Oh my! The “Sassy Insides” speak directly to my sassy insides! So great!

  78. Mary G says

    I LOVE these sentiments Cathy! Especially the display one. I have a friend who actually told she didn’t get making cards, it took too much time and too much money for no return. But I sent her a home made card anyway and guess what! She liked it! She said it was totally worth it and she wants another one! That “snarky” sentiment is going on every single card I send her now! 🙂

  81. Denise says

    Love to make interactive cards and this set is great. I especially like how you used different color combinations together.

  84. Carol E. Wortman says

    Oh boy, what a fun pop up (I have done this a long time ago and forgot it, thanks for the reminder) that saying, Ha?.. super fun! I’m a dot gal, love em.

  91. Patricia Coleman says

    Awesome cards-love the pop up card and sentiment!! Thank you for sharing your creativity!

  92. Leslie S says

    I love the simplicity of this card…especially the colors of the stenciled background and on the base….it really makes the sentiment pop! (Literally too!)

  94. Mary Holshouser says

    What a fun card. Love the sentiment
    of stopping by unannounced and watching
    to see if card is displayed. Snarky is
    always great. thanks for sharing

  96. Sheri Kempke says

    Love the pop up, love all the CZ designs in this new release, you did awesome! I gotta love those sassy sentiments, but I’m gonna need to be careful how I use them, some would be offended! But I love it!

  97. Christine C says

    This pop card will definitely amaze anyone who receives it! Thanks for sharing

  101. Janice Hixon says

    I love those little box cards but always thought they looked so complicated. Thank you for demonstrating how easy this die set is. I might work up enough nerve to try it. Lol

  104. Viola Leary says

    Great card. I love that die set. You did a great job showing how it works. Just look at you go?

  108. Lynn C. says

    Love this card. I use to make these but had to figure out all the dimensions. This makes it so easy. Love this card. Easy but fun for the recipient to receive. You colors were fun too. Thanks for sharing.

  112. Kathy McCluskey says

    Such a cute idea! I’ve yet to make a pop-up card, but your card has inspired me! I definitely will try this!

  117. Awesome 3D Cards says

    Great post! I love the idea of incorporating 3D elements into cardmaking, and this 3D Card Die set looks like a lot of fun to work with. The video tutorial was really helpful in showing how to use the die set to create a pop-up card. And thanks for sharing the special offer and giveaway for the blog hop, I’m definitely going to check it out!
