I first saw this pop-up card technique on a Stampin’ Up! publication, and then on the SplitCoastStampers.com. I wanted to make one, but didn’t know which stamp to use. Then, I saw one of my favorite stamp company, Elzybells’ challenge, to create a card that includes the colors of my country’s flag.

Well, I’m a Korean-American, so I decided to use the colors from both flags, heehee. Korean flag has Red, Blue, White, and Black.

Stamps: Elzybelles “Rubbadubdub”, “Post Stamp Robin”.
The girl in the tub stamp gave me the idea to make the pop-up card.

Ackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk~~~~!!!!!!! Her arm is not connected! It was 2 am when I was working on this, and I forgot to put bubbles over to disguise what’s not there. Poor girl~.
It was my first time using Marvy Uchida Liquid Applique, and didnt’ know how it would turn out. I put Smoochi on top when the Liquid Applique dried a little bit, but the Smoochi never did. I was supposed to wait over night for the Liquid Applique to dry, but I don’t have that kind of patience. So, I messed up the bubbles with my finger prints. Poor girl~.

Is this a window? Or a picture frame? Haven’t decided it yet. =) Doesn’t show on the photo, but I put clear sheet on it.

Connected two pins to create the towel bar. I cut the towel from my baby’s wash cloth. Stamped the “relax” image using the Palette ink, and colored with Copic.
Urmmm… I wasn’t planning on using the red potty, but I remembered that I had two sheets of baby potty training stickers by Jolee’s, and since it was in red, I decided to use it. Heehee.

Originally, I wanted to stamp bubbles and use the sentiment, “May all your troubles drift away like tiny bubbles” since this sentence was what made me buy the stamp set. But, I thought “Take some time for you” fit better with the potty and the mommy relaxing with her disconnected arm =)

    It’s so cute! I hope my daughter makes one for me when she grows older.Your towel bar is really creative. If you can post some projects on how to use Tim Holtz stamps, that will be fantastic. I got a lot of them from Christina’s Crafts and I’m currently looking for inspiration. Thanks!

    This is stunning. I know some wonderful and effective Tim Holtz Stamps that can be used to make great arts like these.
