I am honored to be a guest designer for the July, 2025 edition of the Creative Creases Challenge, where it’s always Everything Goes with a Fun Fold. When you are finished here, please visit the challenge site. Each and every design team member is extremely talented and there’s always new inspiration with each challenge. I hope you play along and then post your creation in the gallery.

Here’s my Pop-up Shelf Card:

This DSP (designer series paper) is fantastic in and of itself, but it also includes two

sheets of pop-out die cuts, like the two on the inside shown next. Also, did you notice the googly-eyes? How stinking cute are they!

I saw the tutorial reel on FaceBook posted by the West Coast Papercrafter. You can see her video here.

Measurements:

• The Westcoast Papercrafter’s video gives all the measurements and directions needed.
• I made a template to store in my mini-binder with all my other fun fold templates. You can see my template below:

• I trimmed a piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
• Next, I punched a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal

Things I Learned:

• The video linked above to the West Coast Papercrafter’s video is easy to follow and will allow you to follow along to create the card.
• Here’s somethings I learned or changed along the way:
  • I added mats to the DSP pieces for contrast and the Granny Apple Green and Pumpkin Pie colors coordinate with the DSP patterns
    • The measurements for the mats are on my template
  • I had to add googly-eyes to the little eyes in the windows on the DSP, and I will include the link to the Amazon set of googly-eyes below
  • This card will be hand-delivered, so I didn’t need to worry about extra postage, but with the added bulk of the mats, googly-eyes, and the few dimensionals I used I would definitely have to add extra postage
  • I always use Adtech removable tape to dry-fit card pieces together, however I did mess up when I adhered the white cardstock to the base
    • It’s important to remember that the card will not lay flat when opened
    • Using multipurpose liquid glue will give you a few seconds to move the white cardstock
    • However, if you don’t realize that you made a mistake until after the glue has settled (not that I am saying I did that), remember that you can use your heat tool to loosen the adhesive then use a crafting/thin spatula to very, very carefully lift the white cardstock off the base of the card
    • If you do need to do that, you might need to add a strip of DSP measuring 5/8 by 4 inches to the bottom of the inside of your card – just saying
  • For the EEK! on the front, I cropped the word three times and stacked them together instead of using dimensionals

• I had so much fun creating this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set!
• I hope you enjoy using this fold as well!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
