Trying to Make My First Pop Up Card!

[@treatsntrinkets]

It boggles my mind that they wouldn't include instructions for something this complicated. I probably would have given up half way though; you have a lot more patience than I do! The finished product does look amazing though

[@TheKazadoodle]

There are instructions, with pictures but I will admit they are very confusing. I couldn't get mine to work and did, indeed, give up.

[@kkrolf2782]

I TOTALLY agree with “treatstrinkets”, Sea Lemon!! Your patience and persistence is commendable, as is the results thereof!!

[@susanwhite1450]

You deserve some kind of award for having the patience to make this! And they really need to provide proper instructions for people to use.

Jennifer, this is such a lovely card and I am really excited that the dragon was picked and made as it was quite complex. But to have no instructions about how to attach it to the card is a bit odd, but you did it. Thank you for showing this.

This is an interesting project, seeing someone as a beginner trying it is so helpful

[@matthewcienki8064]

Good choice using gold foil for the dragon flames!

[@VioletGlitterworks]

This turned out absolutely lovely!! 😍 It’s so crazy how complicated it seemed though!! 😅👏🏻 Would love to see some more cute cricut projects!💜👌🏻

I think if you fold the yellow flap towards the top of the card, it wouldn't show in the front. But hey, really nice job ☺️

[@nessagirl1911]

If you make this card again you could try to fold that yellow tab that shows through the dragon cutout in the other direction. It looks like that might work spacewise, I don't know if it would affect the pop-up feature in any way.

[@SeaLemonDIY]

Good idea!

[@kkrolf2782]

OR … FIRST glue another piece of cardstock behind that cutout dragon shape of the front. THEN then yellow tab won’t be able to show through. Btw, you did a right FAB job with this project, regardless!!

[@dscrive]

This reminds me of kirigami, which I found a book on in the library when I was a teen, lots of fun. Oh, and I think if you made two slits in the white paper for the circular base to slip into it would retain it while permitting the necessary movement.

[@SeaLemonDIY]

Good idea!

[@recoveringsoul755]

I love pop up things. You did a great job. I've been watching a woman do bujo and she's been doing pop up themes for over a year now. She explains really well though.

[@hiwakoo]

Can you give the Name, please?

[@CherryBlossomHill]

Too cute! The dragon would look so precious on the birthday cake too! Now that you’ve made one you can design a better one!

[@VampyRagDoll]

You need the spatula tool in the accessory kit to lift off tiny pieces. Also a zig two way glue pen or a fine tip applicator bottle for Pva is good.

[@SeaLemonDIY]

I have the spatula tool (metal end) but the edge of it is sharp, which scraped the adhesive layer off my mat :( I could file the end to fix it.

[@donnabonnel1752]

Wow!! Super Cool!

[@kfogo7459]

Already hyped for this! **o**

[@ld2653]

Great project and you did great job. Smart improvising. I have found instructions on Design space lacking.

[@thejuniortaiga7343]

I love your arts . SEA LEMON PLEASE DON'T DELETE EVER YOUR CHANNEL IT'S SO INSPIRING😊👌🦄

[@zamis21]

[@erikamarie5535]

So cool! You did a great job!

[@basuiyer9]

wow looks soo good as it was your first try 😀

[@Zoyphinx]

It’s such a pretty card 😍

[@jaydeecurtis4474]

Fold the yellow tab the other direction. Or trim it down.

Hello Jennifer! I'm watching your bookbinding tutorials for a few years now and I'm having a hard time thinking which would be the best binding for a particular book: it will be about 63 light/medium thickness paper, and I want it to lay flat. I'm ok with having to sew each page individually but I don't want it to be bulky (the number of pages worry me a bit). What could I do? Maybe thus could be a video idea for you. A guide to choose bookbinding methods, based on paper thickness, lay flat or not and signatures vs. single sheet binding. I'll keep researching here. Thanks!

excelente vídeo

[@TheKazadoodle]

I tried making this but my paper was too flimsy. I ended up making the cupcake one instead.

[@carlymiller601]

is it possible to make a hardcover sketchbook with no experience

[@panda.with.a.pencil]

I made the present one. It was...okay. somewhat easy to follow. Not the best, though.

The base is meant to be glued - the instructions are confusing but when it says - slide tabs through base and then glue in place, it means the whole base. The instructions really need a rework.

[@SeaLemonDIY]

Oh! I didn't think to glue the dragon tabs to the card 🙈

[@TheKazadoodle]

@@SeaLemonDIY As you said, the instructions are confusing.

[@belqishamza5481]

dragon

[@mariannerady1137]

wow, you pay extra for it and then it doesn't give you proper instructions and have such flaws? QA anyone? Super cute dragon though and good job!
