I wanted to do another owl card, but I wanted it to be different. And, as usual, I was lying in bed thinking about my next card instead of sleeping. That’s when I thought of the pop-up and spent a BUNCH of time (way more than I had!!) the next day experimenting with it.
I created 2 versions – a simple one and an advanced one. I actually did the advanced one first – that’s me trying to overdo it my first time out of the gate. Then, I decided I needed something a little more basic to show how to do it, so I created the simple version. Watch the simple one first because I slow it down to show you how it works.
After you watch the advanced one, you’ll see that there are so many things you can do with the technique!! I created a PDF with a sketch and measurement for each card to help you (see links below) – I know the video is fast!

Total awesome tutorials- I had a little trouble understanding looking at the measurements, but the video made it all perfectly clear and entertaining. Thanks for sharing and all your work!!!
Your cards are awesome. I cant wait to try some of your techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for the video. I’ve always wanted to try a pop-up-card and was always intimated. You made it seem so easy. I’m going to try this for my grandsons birthday.
I stumbled upon this by looking up stampin up products that I use here in Australia and wish to complement you on your cards and your generosity in sharing them with people like me searching for inspiration and techniques. You have an amazing gift and are so kind to share it in video format. Thank you so very much.
What is Ranger Ice Stickles? Where can I get it?
I am so Happy I found your site. You have inspired me by your creative cards. I just made my first pop-up card with my owl punch and I love it!!! So creative and fun. I am not speedy with the owl so it took me quite some time to get the card finished. You make it look so Easy lol. Just wondering what you use to pick the tiny eye dots up I find them hard to pick up and place in the right spot. I have sent links to your site to my Mom and my friends who make cards.
Hi Denise! I use the tip of a paper piercer. It works great!! You just need to dip the tip into a little bit of the glue to make the little pieces stick to it. I actually have two piercers – one that I use for this purpose and one that I use for real paper piercing. Thanks for watching!
OMGoodness! Darlene ~ this is awesome!! I was poking around SCS and then I saw that you were on Stampin’ Connection also. I am so glad that I clicked on your blog!! This card is simply adorable!! Thank you for the PDF and the video, I’m going to make this for the numerous birthdays that I have in September. You are a wonderful papercrafter and I’ll be back for more Ü
Hugs,
Joani
I have been trying to find the “Party Hearty” stamp set. Stampin Up, does not show them on their site unless I have been looking in the wrong category?
I just watched your video on the owl.What do you use to pick up small objects?
Hi Sandy – it’s a paper piercer that has some adhesive on the tip. I use it for unclogging glue bottles, so it has become one of my most useful tools!
I love these popup cards. Your instructions are so easy. Will use for many different cards. Ibwanted to ask about the music. Who is singing? Loved it.
Hi Debbie – the songs are by the Indigo Girls.
I just love all your owl cards, they are so pretty and you give us the tutorials to stretch our skills, Thank you!!! PS: for your kids – I am from Australia. regards Jas
I found your site via Pinterest and love your cards. Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks for posting this video, I ordered this punch because I thought it was cute, I really didn’t know how to put it together, thanks again!
Wow!! What an awesome video. I just received my owl punch,now I’m so happy I did. And I just joined SU. I love the way you direct the item to your su website. TFS
