Tim Holtz Wisemen Pop Up Card Tutorial


Today I'm sharing another card I made for the Tim Holtz Christmas release video for Sizzix.  You can see the video and wide array of new products HERE.  This is the photo Sizzix shared on the Tim Holtz Project Inspiration Page HERE.


I absolutely ADORE Tim's Wise Men die and decided to pair it with the new Cut Out Script alphabet set.  I created an easel/pop-up card to show off that beautiful silhouette. 


I started by cutting my card from blue Kraft Core to 6 x 9 3/8" and scoring at 5 1/2" and 8 5/8".  I cut the Wise Men die from sanded Metallic Kraft Core and layered on a second cut from black cardstock.  I mounted this panel over the small section on the card.  I made the background panels with Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans and Black Soot Distress Inks, with lots of water flecks between the sponged layers.


I die cut my letters from the Cut Out Script set and attached to the bottom inky panel.  This panel is raised up so the top can tuck into it.  It is 2 3/8" high.  I tucked the scallop border from the Stitched Ovals die in to help finish the inside. 


I've been seeing some amazing designs with this die, such as THIS colorful card by my talented friend Monika and THIS exquisite metallic design by Jan.  I just know you will love this die as much as I do!  Wishing you a lovely holiday season my friends, Autumn
