Welcome to the October 2019 Maui Achievers Blog Hop! Follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of the participants in the list below my signature) so you can see some fabulous cards and projects created by other demonstrators who also earned the Stampin’ Up!® Maui incentive trip coming up in July of 2020.
Long title today, huh?
What’s a Corner Pop Up Gift Card Holder? It’s a fun fold card with an origami-like base that has a pocket. My upline Susan Campfield got the idea from Lisa Curcio. And we ended up using this great idea for our make-n-take at our Demos Galore event last month. It’s a little detailed to explain with just words. So last Wednesday during my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting Class (which I uploaded to YouTube), I shared how to make this type of fun fold. Click here to view Saturday’s blog post where I share this how-to video and close-up photos of the cards I shared during that online class.
I used products from the Let It Snow Suite for the two pop up cards I’m sharing today. These are slightly bigger than yesterday’s cards – 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ when closed instead of 4″ x 4″. Here is the first one.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 8-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored in each direction at 4-1/4” and then diagonally one direction corner to corner
- 4″ x 1-1/2″
- 2″ x 3″
- Let It Snow Designer Paper
- 4” x 4” of the hat pattern
- 4” x 4” of the snow on blue pattern
- Punched out snowman
- Sparkle Glimmer Paper
- Triangle half from 3-7/8” x 3-7/8” piece
- Scraps for punching snowballs
- Coastal Cabana Cardstock
- 4” x 4”
Be sure to watch the video for instructions for folding the base. Keep in mind that this base is slightly bigger, but the same directions apply for the folding and creating the pocket.
Tips for creating the front and inside panels…
- Position 2″ x 3″ Whisper White horizontally. Stamp “Let It Snow” in upper corner with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Tear somewhat diagonally to get your front sentiment piece. Attach to the snowfall patterned designer paper.
- Punch a snowman shape and a 1″ circle from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper scraps. Cut snowman bottom oval and top oval off to create snowballs. Discard the middle one. Attach these to the snowfall patterned designer paper as shown (add the smallest one using a Dimensional).
- Stick on the branches and coal pieces from the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. Add the had and scarf with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Allow to dry.
- Tear along one long edge of the 4″ x 1-1/2″ Whisper White piece. Stamp the other sentiment. Attach to the bottom of the Coastal Cabana square piece using Dimensionals.
- Attach designer paper snowman using SNAIL. Add the scarf and hat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then stick on the branches/
The second card is the same but with different colors.

Such a great idea! So fun and cute. Thanks for sharing all the info!
Thanks so much Jenn! I’m glad you enjoyed this idea. ?
“Some assembly required.” I love that card, it is so cute! 🙂
Hehehe! Love it. I should’ve added that phrase on the front of the card somewhere. Thanks Lisa.
The idea is so ingenious! Many thanks for sharing.
Awww…thank you so much Janas.
