First Saturday with Megan

First Saturday with Megan {10.1.22} Have a Spooktacular World Card Making Day!

Happy World Card Making Day! Today we have Megan with us to share an amazing Platform Pop-Up card for Halloween! Let us know in the comments what you have planned to celebrate our card making hobby today! We hope you have a “spooktacular” crafty day!

The colors that Megan used for this amazing design are so eye-catching! Megan die cut the Platform Pop-Up from Bristol cardstock so she could add Distress Oxide color. She chose Lucky Clover and Pine Needles to blend that cool dark teal shade!

Megan created the cute jack o’ lantern using Stitched Pumpkin Frame and Outside In Stitched Pumpkin. She cut the pieces from Fake Tan cardstock, then she added shading with Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink. And then the leaves in Cilantro and Noble Fir cardstock got some inky shading as well.

Next, Megan added lots of fun elements to enhance the spooky look of her design! She used just the Booyah coordinating dies to cut the ghosts from vellum, then she attached them to the pumpkin with clear acetate strips. Then she added happy spider from Cute Cobweb and bare tree from Scalloped Treat Box Haunted House Add-On.

The Platform Pop-Up folds flat for mailing! You may need to use an oversized envelope to accommodate the height of the ghosts. Megan added that fun greeting from Simply Fall Sentiments! Anyone opening this spooktacular card will be sure to smile so big!

I absolutely love this amazing Halloween card! Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Megan!

First Saturday with Megan {9.3.22} Snow One Like You Platform Pop-Up

Megan is back with another amazing project to inspire your creativity! Her wintry Platform Pop-Up card features Snow One Like You and Snowball Fight! She even included a fun slider element!

Megan’s winter fun Platform Pop-Up features the Snow One Like You critters sledding on Slide on Over Waves! She used an Outside In Stitched Rectangle to extend the height of the scene. Then she decorated it with a Stitched Mountain Border and a Forest Border.

The little Snowball Fight mice look so adorable making snowballs!

Megan filled in her winter scene using trees from Winter Village and Yeti or Not!

All folded up and ready for the envelope! Who wouldn’t love to open this happy mail?

First Saturday with Megan {8.6.22} Clever Shadow Box Cuteness, Rain or Shine!

It’s time once again for Megan to inspire us with another creative card design! This month she shares a totally clever shadow box card with a fun pop-up feature!

Megan created this happy scene using raincoat clad bears of Beary Rainy Day! As they splash in the puddles, the frogs are enjoying the raindrops too! She created this 3D scene using Grassy Border and Simple Grassy Hillsides.

To create her shadow bow, Megan used two Peacock cardstock panels cut to 5 3/4″ x 5″. She scored them at 2″ and 1/4 “. She cut the second largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle from one of the panels. Then she assembled the shadow box, inserting the grassy layers.

Megan created a pocket behind the back panel for the pull-tab. When you pull the tab, another colorful scene featuring Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters appears! She used the pull tab from Magic Picture Changer to make it easy to slide the tab up!

I just love this cute and clever design, Megan! Thank you for inspiring us today!
