Moving Arm Pop-Up

Waaaay back in September, I enjoyed teaching how to make this moving arm card in my technique class. This card is a slightly adapted version of a design shared on Mitosu Crafts. After seeing their card, I did a bit more research on the moving arm concept and used what I learned to make some minor adjustments.

This pop-up design is much easier than you might think! Watch my video tutorial at the end of this post to see for yourself!

Since this design was created last fall, some of the supplies used in this project are no longer available to purchase. However, you are very clever, so I know you’ll be able to use my tutorial to make something amazing with alternate supplies! Check back on my blog on Sunday to see another version of this moving arm pop-up card using current supplies. I’ll be using the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set and the Love You More dies from Stampin’ Up!, just like I did on this card – but it will be a whole new look.

Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Bumblebee are a fun combination of colours that coordinate with the patterned paper on this card. You may have noticed that this project doesn’t use much in the way of stamping. That’s because, my focus for this virtual class was to show the paper technique and allow those attending to use any sentiment stamp they already had at home. That way, almost anyone can join in on my class!

Below is the video tutorial provided to those who attended my September technique class. I like that they could refer back to it and easily make more cards with this technique.

I decided it was time, dear reader, to share it with you as well. Enjoy!
