Mermaid Platform Pop Up


It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog, and I'm sharing the 7th edition to my monthly series "Platform Pop Up Cards". Considering I sat down thinking I would use the cloud add-on for the Platform Pop Up and possibly a sun die ... I went a little off the rails. But I made it for a friend for Happy Mail, and I'm sure she will enjoy it.


This patterned paper package has been hanging around my craft room for a couple of years, but if it is still available I will link it below for you. The fish stickers had words printed on them so I covered up the letters with the shell stickers. Once they were attached to the card, I brushed baby powder onto the back side to remove any sticky left on the stickers. For some sparkle & shine I added the mirrored hearts. 

The mermaid was attached to the top of an acetate strip, so I could raise her up above the fish a little instead of attaching her directly to the stitched 'hills' that come with the die.


I have found that this scalloped rectangle from a set by Pink and Main fit perfectly on the back section and gives me room for a personal message. This card folds down nice and flat for mailing and this one fits in a standard 5 x 7" envelope.


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
