TGIF Challenge #583 - Technique Challenge - Popping It Up!

Popping It Up!! Are you KIDDING me???!! I think I use dimensionals on every single stinkin’ card or project I make! So this week’s challenge is right up my alley!

Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.

One of my all-time most favorite Stampin’ Up sets has a flamingo in it (Tickled Pink). I still have it (you will have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers to get it from me!).

So I was ECSTATIC to see the images in the soon-to-be-released “Birthday Song” stamp set! I mean … COME ON!!

Not only did I fussy cut out the image of flamingos, add hats to them and color them with my Stampin’ Blends, but I popped them up on some Dimensonals as well!

And there’s more popping up when you open the card!

I made a swing card! So….. not only does the front panel “pop” and swing as you open it …

… the entire middle section of the card pops up, too!!

Here are the dimensions of each piece:

Barely Blush

  5.5” x 8.5” - scored at 4.25”

Flirty Flamingo

  5.25”x4”

  4 7/8”x1 7/8”

  3.5”x4.75”*

Basic White

  5”x8” - scored at 2”, 4” and 6”

  Scrap for sentiment

2026-2028 Gingham Gallery 12x12 DSP

  3 7/8”x2 3/8” (front panel)

  4.75”x1.75” (inside panel)

*You will have to cut out a panel in the front of the card to accommodate the “swing” panel. Make it the tiniest amount larger than the 3.5”x4.75” panel piece so that it will swing easily!

Here’s a peek from the top down so you can see how to assemble the parts …
