As my third guest designer post for Topflight Stamps<\/a><\/span> featuring Katzelkraft stamps, today I’m sharing a doggy-themed slider pop-up card celebrating Christmas using stamps from\u00a0Katzelkraft Dogs<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0Katzelkraft Funny Accessories<\/a><\/span>, and\u00a0Katzelkraft Sleigh Stamps<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I chose the Dalmatian from the Dogs Stamp Set<\/a><\/span> as the focal point of my card. I Copic colored him using the following colors:
\nWhite: W0 and W1; Black: W5;
\nEyes: B000 and B02 with Signo Uniball White Gel Pen and Black Glaze Pen;
\nTongue and Collar: R35 and 37;
\nTag: Y15 and Y19
\nThen 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\u00a0Funny Accessories Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>\u00a0fully onto his head.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For the card front background, I used the Christmas tree base from the\u00a0Sleigh Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and using a 0.1 pt Copic Mulit-liner Pen<\/a><\/span> 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\u00a0Funny Accessories Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>, and then Copic colored\/drew in a wood floor and the rest of the scene using the following colors:
\nSanta Hat<\/u>: R35, R37 and R39 and C1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Yellow aura around bone<\/u>: Y00, Y11, Y13, Y08
\nTree<\/u>: G43, G14, G17\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Red accents<\/u>: R35, R37 and R39\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Teal accents<\/u>: BG32, BG23, BG45 and BG49
\nWall: BG11<\/u>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Wood Floor<\/u>: E11, E13, E25, E29<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The following are the instructions to create the pop-up mechanism:
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Use the decorated card front measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″ (A2 size)
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Use an X-Acto blade<\/a><\/span> 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.
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Turn the card 90\u00b0 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.
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Burnish 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.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The following are the directions to create the slider mechanism:
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Cut a smaller slider piece of cardstock to 3.25″ 4.75″
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Use Scor-Tape<\/a><\/span> (glue works too) on the back of the bottom smallest section of the pop-Up mechanism you made above.
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Attach the smaller slider piece of cardstock, centered and lined up to the edge of the bottom smallest section of the pop-Up mechanism.
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Now 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.
\n*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Optional<\/i>: 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\u00a0Katzelkraft Sleigh Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I hand wrote and used a couple of stamps from a Prima “Merry Nice” Stamp Set<\/a><\/span> 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<\/a><\/span>, and I colored it up to match the stack of presents on the right side of the card.<\/p>\n
