3 D Pop Up Tags
Hello friends, Thank you so much for all the Anniversary wishes you showered upon me in my last blogpost " Mini Album Tutorial " .
Sharing a trio of 3 D Christmas tags made as my DT project for Maureen's Rudolph Days Challenge!
3 D Pop Up Tags
The 3 D tags/mini cards feature a pop up staircase which can fold flat.
2 of the tags feature an adorable Santa standing on the steps of a staircase . The holly leaves and poinsettias are from a stamp set gifted to me by Maureen. 
Watercoloring
I stamped and gold embossed the images and after water-coloring with Zig Watercolor Brush Pens gave a wash of gold using Gansai Tambi watercolors! Love the look!

The 2nd tag has a golden staircase with a  cute Christmas robin  made with Dee's Distinctively Winter Robin die again a gift from Maureen. Made the tree using handmade paper and foam as a backing.
3 D Pop Up Tag Tutorial
I bought the newly launched Graphic 45 square tag die and used it to make the frame for all the tags. Embossed a square of white card stock to layer over it. The staircase I used was diecut using a Memory Box die but I think there are quite a few companies who manufacture staircase dies.
Here is how I made the staircase dimensional....leave a strip of cardstock to the die cut

I made it upside down for the next step which is scoring. Score at 1/2 inch intervals to get  four 1/2 inch segments and cut off the extra card-stock.

Fold at the score lines  and glue the last segment behind your staircase...you get a nice pop up 3 D structure which you can glue to your cards/ tags!
