<miles> hello sandy
<Janet> a lot of our convention vendors sell smaller amount of papers, good colors and all. especially check Creative Images
<MomCat> THE BACK GROUND PAPER FOR THIS CARD IS ROYAL MARBLE BLUE
<sandy> hi
<MomCat> Royal Marble http://www.wausaupapers.com/see/see_rm.htm
<Janet> Creative Images for sure sells that! I've bought it from them!
<MomCat> I LOVE THIS PAPER FOR SKIES
<MomCat> http://dragonriddle.com/popup/
<MomCat> AT THE TOP LEFT IS A LINK
<MomCat> TO THE HOW TO PAGES
<MomCat> http://dragonriddle.com/popup/PopupHowTo.html
<MomCat> tHIS CARD LOOKS IMPRESSIVE BUT IS SO SIMPLE TO DO
<MomCat> YOU NEED 3 PIECES OF PAPER
<MomCat> CUT TO THE SIZES INDICATED
<MomCat> YOU WILL FIND THAT ONCE YOU ARE COMFORTABLW WITH THIS
<MomCat> YOU CAN VARY THE SIZES
<MomCat> ANY QUESTIONS?
<cak> so far, so good
<MomCat> FOLD YOUR BIG PIECE OF PAPER IN HALF
<MomCat> FOLD THE PAPERS AS SHOWN BY THE DOTTED LINES
<MomCat> THE BIG PIECE SHOULD HAVE A VALLEY FOLD \/
<MomCat> ALL THE FOLDS ON THE LITTLE PIECES SHOULD BE MOUNTAIN FOLDS /\
<MomCat> ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FOLDS
<cak> http://dragonriddle.com/popup/ (intro) and http://dragonriddle.com/popup/PopupHowTo.html (instructions)
<phyl> very nice and clear Mom
<cak> nope, not from me
<MomCat> I AM GOING TO CALL THE PIECES BY THEIR COLORS
<MomCat> AFTER YOU HAVE FOLDED THE PINK PIECE IN THE MIDDLE
<MomCat> OPEN IT AND FOLD THE EDGES
<MomCat> NOW TURN IT OVER
<MomCat> AND PLACE THE CENTERFOLD OF THE PINK RIGHT OVER THE CENTERFOLD OF THE BUFF PAPER
<MomCat> USE GLUE OR DOUBLE SIDED TAPE TO GLUE THE FOLDED UNDER EDGES OF THE PINK TO THE BUFF PAPER
<MomCat> ANY QUESTIONS?
<Patywak> not sure about that last direction
<phyl> your pictures are great
<Patywak> one goes inside the other?
<Regina> I love this, but I'm pooped after three nites in a row & work day tomorrow. Thanks!
<MomCat> YES THE PINK PIECE WILL BE ON THE INSIDE OF THE CARD
<Patywak> valleys together?
<MomCat> VALLEY FOR THE BUFF
<MomCat> MOUNTAIN FOR THE PINK
<Patywak> ok ty
<MomCat> YW
<MomCat> 3B SHOWS HOW THIS MAKES A "STEP" ON THE INSIDE OF THE CARD
<MomCat> NEXT DO THE SAME THING WITH THE BLUE, BUT STICK IT DOWN WITH REPOSITIONABLE TAPE OR GLUE
<MomCat> BECAUSE SOME TIMES YOU HAVE TO ADJUST SIZES AND POSITIONS TO MAKE THE CARD "WORK"
<MomCat> AND THE CENTER MOUNTAIN FOLD OF THE BLUE
<MomCat> LINES UP WITH THE SENTER MOUNTAIN FOLD OF THE PINK
<MomCat> IF YOU LOOK AT THE CARD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE TOP STEP
<MomCat> IS NARROW AND PLACED TO ONE SIDE
<MomCat> THIS IS A VERY VERSITILE TECHNIQUE
<MomCat> THE BUTTERFLY'S ANTENNA ARE MADE FROM WIRE
<MomCat> LETS GO BACK TO http://dragonriddle.com/popup/
<MomCat> All stamps from Evolving Images http://cyberstampers.com/convention/evo/
<MomCat> Dolphin and whales are from plate #2 (small) or plate #12-A (large)
<MomCat> Shells from plate #5 (small) or plate #37 (large)
<MomCat> http://dragonriddle.com/popup/
<cak> http://dragonriddle.com/popup/ (intro) and http://dragonriddle.com/popup/PopupHowTo.html (instructions)
<MomCat> ANY QUESTIONS?
<cak> nope. very clear!
<MomCat> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THIS CARD WAS BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION OF STEPS
<MomCat> WHEN YOU ARE ASSEMBLING A POP-UP CARD, USE REPOSITIONABLE TAPE OR GLUE
<MomCat> BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO EXPERIMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING STICKS OUT WHEN THE CARD IS CLOSED
<MomCat> I MADE THREE WAVES FOR THIS CARD BY SMOOSHING INK RIGHT ONTO THE CARD STOCK
<phyl> love smooshing
<MomCat> I STARTED WITH LIGHT BLUES AND GREENS
<MomCat> AND MADE EACH WAVE DARKER THAN THE ONE BEFORE
<MomCat> THE FIRST TWO WAVES ARE ON THE BOTTOM STEP
<MomCat> THE DOLPHIN IS FASTENED TO THE FRONT OF THE BOTTOM STEP
<MomCat> actually to the waves
<MomCat> AND PLACED SO IT RISES ABOVE THE WAVE
<MomCat> THE ORCA IS FASTENED TO THE FRONT OF THE BACK WAVE
<MomCat> AND THE TAIL IS FASTED TO THE BACK OF THE BACK WAVE
<MomCat> YOU CAN SEE THAT BY NOT FASTENING THE TAIL TO THE CARD ITSELF YOU GET SHADOWS WHICH GIVE IT DEPTH
<MomCat> I PUT THE SHELLS ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE CARD JUST SO IT WOULDN'T BE EMPTY
<MomCat> WHEN YOU HAVE THINGS PLACED WHERE YOU WANT THEM, STICK THEM DOWN WITH PERMANENT ADHESIVE
<MomCat> I USE RED-LINER TAPE FROM STUBBY STAMPERS
<MomCat> TO FASTEDN THE STEPS IN PLACE
<MomCat> BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF TENSION THAT TENDS TO PULL THEM LOOSE
<MomCat> QUESTIONS?
<phyl> so you stamped the waves and cut them out and adhered them to the front of the pop ups?
<MomCat> YES
<phyl> nice touch the tail. I like that
<MomCat> TO THE FRONT OF THE STEPS
<phyl> ok i see thanks
<MomCat> WHAT OTHER THINGS CAN Y'ALL THINK OF TO DO WITH THIS TECHNIQUE?
<phyl> toys popping out of a toy chest
<MomCat> OPEN FLOOR NOW
<Janet> scenic stamping
<MomCat> OOH!
<phyl> flowers coming out of vases
<Patywak> fireworks
<MomCat> FIRE WORKS IS COOL
<phyl> fairies coming out of the forest
<phyl> or flower bed
<phyl> or a pop up greeting
<Patywak> water fountain
<MomCat> YOU MIGHT WANT TO FASTEN FIRE WORKS TO WIRES

<phyl> ah neat
<phyl> i would like to do a ghost out of a cemetary
<Patywak> is there such a thing as "pop down"? Like a tree with leaves falling?
<MomCat> FROM BEHIND A GRAVESTONE, PHYL
<phyl> ya ya neat
<MomCat> PATY, I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE
<MomCat> BUT NOW YOU HAVE MY BRAIN WORKING
<Patywak> well, what I meant was after it was opened, it would APPEAR that the leaves were falling down.
<Patywak> or just turn the card upside down! LOL
<MomCat> i DON'T THINK IT WORKS UPSIDE DOWN
<MomCat> WILL NEED MORE INNOVATION
<Patywak> I know...just craziness
<MomCat> LOL
<phyl> good thought though
<Patywak> veggies out of a garden
<MomCat> I STAMPED THE WHALES AND DOLPHIN ON COLORED CARD STOCK IN BLUE INK
<phyl> ah that was a good idea
<MomCat> AND THE EYES ARE DONE WITH GLTTER-GLUE
