Floating Into Winter Magic | Ally’s Angels Challenge – Anything Goes
Hi crafty friends! I’m back today with my latest design team project for the Ally’s Angels Challenge Blog, where the theme is always Anything Goes. I love these open challenges because they give me the freedom to dust off ideas I’ve been wanting to try — and this time I finally made a floating pop-up octagon card!
A Wintery Pop-Up With “It’s Snome Time 2”
For this project I reached for one of my absolute favorite winter paper collections: Craft Consortium’s “It’s Snome Time 2.” The ephemera in this pack is just too adorable, and the little gnomes and woodland touches were perfect for creating a magical scene inside the floating octagon.
The card base itself may look complicated, but once everything is folded and assembled, the centrepiece appears to float— giving your chosen images a fun dimensional effect. It’s one of those cards that’s extra enjoyable to display because every angle shows off something new.
Building the Card
I created the octagon structure using sturdy cardstock, then layered coordinating patterned papers from the collection to bring out that cozy winter vibe. For the focal point, I selected some of the sweet ephemera pieces — including the charming snome characters — and arranged them inside the pop-up so they appear suspended in mid-air.
A bit of foam tape here and there helped add depth, and I sprinkled in a few sparkly accents to give the whole scene that frosty, festive feel.
