This hourglass card shape is not only unusual but it stands up on its own. The image floats as this pop up card provides a stunning bow card feature.
This pop up bow card is easy to create using your trimmer or ruler, a pencil and a pair of scissors. Start with scrap cardstock and stamp right along with me. Don’t miss the free project sheet linked below which also contains a template for this fancy fold card.

Springy Pop Up Bow Card | Heirloom Boutique
This card is a great representation of the power of fantastic dies. The new Heirloom Boutique Dies include a variety of flowers and leaves making it easy to construct gorgeous booms in minutes!

I’ve paired the flowers with the Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper. The gold foil accents in this pattern paper provide a beautiful shimmery detail that’s not overwhelming. It’s perfect for adding gold foil accents to the center of your flowers.

Stampin’ Up!’s color coordination allows you to mix and match designer papers easily. Here I’ve mixed in the Moonlit Flora designer paper to emphasize the greenery.

This free-standing card is one they’ll display proudly! The secret to the perfect stand up feature is the additional back piece which mimics the size of the front bow giving the entire bow stability. Don’t miss all the tips and tricks I provide in today’s video.

Springy Pop Up Bow Card | Sweet Old Friends
Whether you’re a Winnie the Pooh fan or not, the Silly Old Bear Suite includes a variety of designer papers, stamps, dies and an embossing folder to make creating a breeze!

The new Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper has a neutral color palette making it perfect for cards for babies, friends and thinking of you. Pair it with the Sweet Words & Labels Bundle to complete this old fashioned storybook theme.

The new 2026-2028 In Colors are among my all-time favorites. The Golden Glow featured here is the perfect, warm color of honey without being overpowering. If you haven’t checked out the five (5) new In Colors you’ll find them in my online store HERE.

Do you see the small Pooh bear in the tree in the designer paper? The themed pattern papers allow you to skip adding extra stamped images or accessories.

Life in Bloom
I’m totally obsessed with black and white designer papers! You can use them plain or color them however you like. Use blending brushes, sponge daubers, Stampin’ Blends Markers, or colored pencils – whatever you’ve got – and you can get the perfect color for your project without buying a bunch of different papers.

I kept the color palette on this card simple using the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Papers as they are. The black and white provides a striking background to the Hydrangea Hue accents in the pot and flowers. This stunning color is another of the new In Colors you won’t want to miss adding to your collection.

If you’re new to Stampin’ Blends alcohol based markers, click HERE to access my entire playlist on YouTube which is filled with various ways to use them. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

The back bow adds extra support and hides those alcohol marker details, plus, it’s super easy to add some color to a black and white design – just pick your fave shade for a pop of fun!
