Doggy Christmas Slider Pop-Up Card! | CraftyPaws

As my third guest designer post for Topflight Stamps featuring Katzelkraft stamps, today I’m sharing a doggy-themed slider pop-up card celebrating Christmas using stamps from Katzelkraft Dogs, Katzelkraft Funny Accessories, and Katzelkraft Sleigh Stamps.

I chose the Dalmatian from the Dogs Stamp Set as the focal point of my card. I Copic colored him using the following colors:
White: W0 and W1; Black: W5;
Eyes: B000 and B02 with Signo Uniball White Gel Pen and Black Glaze Pen;
Tongue and Collar: R35 and 37;
Tag: Y15 and Y19
Then I fussy cut him out, taking care to also cut around his eyes about halfway down so that I could position the Santa hat from the Funny Accessories Stamp Set fully onto his head.

For the card front background, I used the Christmas tree base from the Sleigh Stamp Set and using a 0.1 pt Copic Mulit-liner Pen I doodled a bit more of the decorated Christmas tree in order to extend the height of the tree. I also doodled a dog bone hanging from a tree branch as a special doggy-themed Christmas decoration. To fill out a little more of the background scene I added a stack of presents to the right side of the panel from the Funny Accessories Stamp Set, and then Copic colored/drew in a wood floor and the rest of the scene using the following colors:
Santa Hat: R35, R37 and R39 and C1     Yellow aura around bone: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y08
Tree: G43, G14, G17     Red accents: R35, R37 and R39     Teal accents: BG32, BG23, BG45 and BG49
Wall: BG11     Wood Floor: E11, E13, E25, E29

The following are the instructions to create the pop-up mechanism:
*     Use the decorated card front measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″ (A2 size)
*     Use an X-Acto blade and cut 0.75″ from the left, bottom and right sides of the card; take care to leave the top 0.75″ at the top side uncut.
*     Turn the card 90° so the top of the card front is now on the left and use a score board to score at: 0.75″, 2.5″ and 4.25″ between the cut lines.
*     Burnish the scored lines so that you form a valley at the 4.25″ line, a hill at the 2.5″ line and a valley at the 0.75″ line.

The following are the directions to create the slider mechanism:
*     Cut a smaller slider piece of cardstock to 3.25″ 4.75″
*     Use Scor-Tape (glue works too) on the back of the bottom smallest section of the pop-Up mechanism you made above.
*     Attach the smaller slider piece of cardstock, centered and lined up to the edge of the bottom smallest section of the pop-Up mechanism.
*     Now use Scor-Tape (glue works too) on the back of the card front around the left, bottom and right sides, beyond the center-cut pop-up mechanism area and attach this to an A2 sized card base.
*     Optional: You can cut out a thumb window at the top of the cardfront and/or add a pull tab to the top of the smaller slider piece of cardstock. I did both and took the opportunity to create a pull tab using the Christmas wreath from the Katzelkraft Sleigh Stamp Set.

I hand wrote and used a couple of stamps from a Prima “Merry Nice” Stamp Set to add a sentiment on the top half of the slider piece that says: “Have you been naughty or nice?” and a stamp on the bottom half of the slider piece that says: “Merry Christmas”. For a bit more embellishment inside the card, I also stamped a box full of bones from an old Hampton Art Furry Christmas Stamp Set, and I colored it up to match the stack of presents on the right side of the card.
