I have been wanting to try a pop out card like this and the Fun for Fall stamp and dies seemed like the perfect set to use, along with the Sunflower Fields designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

• Early Expresso card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• Pecan Pie card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• White card stock
• Sunflower Fields designer series paper (Sept-Dec 2026 Mini Catalog Stampin’ Up)
• Fun for Fall stamp set and dies (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
• Arch dies
• Early Expresso Ink (Stampin’ Up)
• Stampin’ Blends Markers
  • Golden Glow Light
  • Daffodil Delight Light
  • Gray Granite Dark
  • Pecan Pie Light and Dark
  • Real Red Light
• Paper trimmer
• Adhesive of choice
• Pop dots

From a piece of Early Expresso card stock cut a base to 1 ½” x 9” and score at 2 ¼”, 2 5/8”, 3 ½”, 6”, 6 7/8” and 7 ¼”.  Cut a piece to 2 ½” x 3 ¾” and a second to 2” x 3 ¼” and then cut the top of each into rolling hills.  Then cut two more pieces to ¾” x 1 ¼” and score each as ¼”, ½”, ¾” and 1” and fold them into squares and adhere the end panels together.  Use an arch die measuring 3 5/8” x 4 7/8” and cut out from a piece of Early Expresso card stock.  Then from the Sunflower Fields designer series paper pack find the one with the sunflowers that look like they are in a patch and use an arch die measuring 3 3/8” x 4 5/8” to cut out. 

Now time to do some die cutting and coloring.  From a piece of Daffodil Delight cut out three sets of the double sunflower die from the Radiant Sunflowers dies and then six of the flower stalks from Old Olive card stock  Use Golden Glow ink and a sponge or sponge dauber and color the edges of the sunflowers and use Old Olive ink to do the same to the flower stalks, then adhere the flowers to the stalks.  From a piece of Pecan Pie card stock cut out the fence from the Fun for Fall dies.  Now with a piece of white card stock and your Early Expresso ink stamp the scarecrow, the three crows, the flag with the “hay there” greeting on the flag and two of the straw bales. 

For coloring, use the Gray Granite Dark Stampin’ Blends to color the three crows.  Use the Golden Glow Light and Pecan Pie Light to color the straw bales and twine.  For the scarecrow, color the bibs and hat Pecan Pie Light, the patches, the hat band, scarf and flag with Real Red Light.  Then all of the straw for hair, hands and feet with Golden Glow Light.  Finally use the Pecan Pie Dark to color the pole.  Cut them all out with the appropriate dies, all from the Fun for Fall dies.    

To assemble start with adhering the sunflower designer series paper arch to the larger Early Expresso Arch.  Not take you long strip piece and fold each scored section in and fold to form your bottom panel measuring 4 1/8” wide.  Adhere the two back panels together where they meet in the middle.  Then adhere your arches to the back of that panel up about 5/8” from the bottom so that your card measures 5 ½” high. 

Now take the panels you trimmed to for hills and with the higher longer one adhere four of the sunflowers to it forming a row of sunflowers, leaving them as high as you can and adhering the flowers together where they overlap for a bit more strength.  For the smaller panel adhere your scarecrow in the center with the feet and pole mostly on the panel.  Adhere the flag to the back of his right hand angled toward the center making sure it isn’t hanging off too far for your 4 ¼” width allowed.  Then adhere one of each of the two sunflowers to each side of the scarecrow adhering the hands to the front of the sunflowers for stability.  Now take one of your two small boxes and adhere to the front of the scarecrow panel and then adhere that to the inside front of your base, making sure the bottom aligns with the bottom of your card base.  Then adhere the other to the back of your sunflower panel and adhere that to the back inside panel of your card base.  This allows your card to fold down flat for putting in an envelope, but then to pop out when it is removed and able to stand. 

For the back of your card take some white card stock and the arch die measuring 3 3/8” x 4 5/8” and place on your cutting machine with the top of the arch going in first and with the flat bottom of your arch die flat with the bottom edge of the paper up about and inch and then run through your machine but don’t cut the bottom edge of the arch, cut down close to it.  Then use scissors to finish cutting your arch so that it is about an 1” longer to fit the back of your card, trim if needed to make it fit.  Then in Early Expresso ink stamp the bale of hay in the lower left corner and color the hay with Golden Glow Light Stampin’ Blend marker.  Then in Early Expresso ink stamp one of the crows on the top of your hay bale, color his beak with your Daffodil Delight Light Stampin’ Blends and his body with the Gray Granite Light Stampin’ Blends.  Now in Early Expresso ink stamp the “so thankful for you” greeting in the upper center.  Adhere your arch to the back of the card.

What a cute pop out layered card to brighten anyone’s day.
