HOW TO MAKE A FUN WIPER CARD USING THE CAMPOLOGY & HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS STAMP SETS

 Hi Stampers, 

Today I am using two stamp sets, Campology and Happiest of Birthdays. Both sets are featured in the Stampin’ Up!®️ 2020-2021 Annual catalog. Today’s card is called a Wiper Card. The movement of the pop up mechanism resembles that of a car’s windshield wiper. Let’s get started with a look at the stamp sets.

CAMPOLOGY

When I saw this stamp set, I knew it would become a part of my collection! What great images! “Happy Trails” is my favorite sentiment in the set. For me Campology is my go to set for creating fun cards to send the happy campers in my life. 

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS

The large greetings included in this birthday stamp set really take the cake! The large greetings can function as the focal point for easy, yet awesome cards!

Now that we’ve seen today’s featured stamp sets, let’s take a look at today’s Wiper Card.

SUPPLIES 

Along with the stamps sets, here are other supplies needed to create this card:

* For the card base - Two pieces of Real Red cardstock 8 1/2”  x 4 1/4” and one piece of Real Red that is 3” x 1 3/8”

* Two pieces of Basic Black cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” for mats.

* Two pieces of Basic White cardstock for stamping the main images.

* Scraps of Basic White and Real Read 

* Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

* Stampin’ Blends Markers - Real Read (dark and light)

* Paper Snips 

* Stitched Rectangles Dies - this one measures 2 7/8” x 1 1/2”.

* Stampin’ Seal+

* Tear & Tape

* Dimensionals

ASSEMBLING THE CARD

* Score the two pieces of 8 1/2” x 4 1/4” cardstock at 1 1/2” and 3” along the 8 1/2” side. Lightly score the 3” x 1 3/8” piece of cardstock at 1 1/2” using the score blade on your trimmer. Next rotate the cardstock so one end of the score line and one corner of the cardstock align in the cutting/ scoring track, and score. There should be a diagonal score line running along one half of the cardstock piece.

* On one piece of Basic White cardstock randomly stamp the lantern image using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

* On the other piece of Basic White cardstock stamp the “ Wishing You the Happiest of Birthdays” greeting toward the left hand side of the paper. Then stamp the lantern image to the right and toward the top of the greeting. I angled the lantern a bit.

* Add color to the lanterns using the Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

* Mat each of these focal pieces to a Basic Black mat using the Stampin’ Seal or adhesive of your choice.

* On the scrap piece of Basic White cardstock stamp the “It’s your day” sentiment and the  “Happy B-Day” sentiment. 

* Use the paper snips to fussy cut the “Happy B-Day” greeting and adhere it to the top of the 3” x 1 3/8” piece of Real Red cardstock. (The top is the end that is not scored.)

* Use the Stitched Rectangles die to cut out the remaining sentiment. Mount this on a piece of Real Red cardstock that is 2 7/8” x 1 1/2”.

* With the “Happy B-Day” facing up, place Tear & Tape on the bottom left side of the piece - below the  diagonal score line. This is the “Wiper.” It will be adhered to the back side of the card front.

*Remove the backing from the Tear & Tape on the “wiper.” Place the card front face down. Align the wiper between the two score lines on the card front. Use the horizontal score line on the wiper (the one lightly scored at 1 1/2”) and line it up with the top edge of the card. Adhere into place.

* Put adhesive on the back side of left hand section of the card front. Adhere the right hand side of the card back to this section. Repeat the process to attach the  remaining sides of the card.

* This is how the card should look when looking down over it.

* Adhere the “It's Your Day” sentiment to the front of the card using dimensionals. The card is complete!

* To operate the wiper device: pull outwards on both sides of the card to make the wiper come up. Push inward on both sides of the card to make the wiper go down.

WIPER CARD HOW TO VIDEO

Here are two other Wiper Cards I made using the CAMPOLOGY stamp set.

I played up the binocular theme on this card by adding the two die cut circle frames around the Happy Birthday.

The theme for this card - Pop Up Tent, of course! 

I had a lot of fun making these cards, and I can’ t wait to send them to the camping enthusiasts in my life,

I hope you give the Wiper Card a try. It is fun to make and fun to receive, That’s all for today. Until next time...

Stamp Happy!
