This month the Fancy Folds Design Team is making a Double Decker Pop Out card. I know the name sounds kind of intimidating. But it’s not, I promise! It’s kind of like a Z-fold with a little something extra.
For my design I decided to take this opportunity and make a graduation card for my oldest munchkin who’s graduating grade 8 this year. I wanted to make something special and so the timing couldn’t be better!
Black and gold are classic graduation colours, so that’s what I’m using for my colour combination. I used Basic Black cardstock for the card base and panels. The panels are also embossed using the splatter folder from the Stripes & Splatter 3D embossing folders. But I’m not sure you can really tell in the pictures. I also used Basic Black cardstock for the large balloon to help the gold pop. For the gold I used 2 different designs from the Golden Celebration Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
The sentiment is from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. And I used the coordinating dies for the balloons and gold foil tassel. The black tassel is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. And I popped up both of the balloons using some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Now I have to make sure I keep this in a good hiding spot so my oldest doesn’t find it!
Keep going on the hop and check out the next Double Decker Pop Out card! This one is made by Mette and you can find her post here.
