Graphic 45 
Seasons Card 
Three Tier Pop Up Cake

Hello dear G45ers! 

Excited to share with you my project for 
this month #G45PopUp featuring the lovely 
Seasons Collection. This collection is
 just perfect for making cards. I must say this
 was quite a challenge as I rarely make pop up cards. 

I think this is my second one...however 
I did have a lot of fun putting this together.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

Graphic 45 Supplies used:
Seasons Collection 12x12

Seasons Collection 8x8

Seasons Chipboard

Metal Brads

Ornate Metal Keyholes

Large Tag, ATC Tag & Flower Metal Dies

Square Tag & Clock Metal Dies

Other Supplies:

Sizzix Die Cake Three Tier 3-D (Pop-Up)

Poppy Stamp Die Powell Butterfly

Poppy Stamp Die Luxe Poinsettia Outline

Various other Dies 

White Cardstock

Gold Cardstock 

Sequins, String, Eyelet

Scoring Board

Adhesive Foam Squares

Red Double Sided Tape

Glossy Accents

Cut a 6x6 card from white cardstock and
score in half. Cut a piece to mat from the
 8x8 collection pattern sheet to fit the card.

Tip: Cut the mat piece a little smaller
 leaving a border after adhering. It just
 looks prettier that way.

Cut a few die cut shapes using the various other

and G45 metal dies from the collection sheets,

white and gold cardstock.

Cut the three tier pop up cake using the 12x12

collection pattern sheet and die. Colours optional.

I also cut some extra flowers to add to the cake.

Tip: If you have this cutting die the instructions 

for assembling are included otherwise if you 

are like me and misplaced it here is 

a video link you can follow...

Tip: Remember to adhere your pieces 

with a strong double sided tape.

Adhere two brads to the ornate keyhole with 

glossy accents.

Add sequins to the center of the butterflies.

Adhere the ornate key hole with glossy accents.

Tip: I prefer using glossy accents to adhere 

metal pieces on paper ensuring it won't fall off.

Alternatively you can also use a heavy body gel.

Mat the wording piece from the 12x12 collection onto 

white cardstock leaving a small border. 

Add an eyelet and string to the chipboard piece.

Layer all your die cut elements and adhere 

with adhesive foam.

Tip: The foam gives the elements

dimension. I sometimes add two pieces 

on top of one another to give it that extra raise.

After assembling the three tier pop up cake

 adhere to the center of the card and follow the 

last step as per the instructions.

Add the flowers to the cake. I only adhered 3.

Tip: Make sure that you adhere them in 

such a way that it will move easily with the fold.

Add some more die cut elements on the inside of
the card on both sides for decoration. This will

compliment the center piece.

Happy Papercrafting!
