Share A Milkshake Pop Up Wave Card

Recently I watched Sam Calcott's YouTube video on creating a Pop Up Wave card, and was thinking about creating a card following Sam's instructions when a fellow crafter in my Silhouette Card Making & Paper Crafts FB group posted a cut file to use in Silhouette Design Studio to create this card design. Thanks, Sabine Harris! I'm going to link Sam's video here: Have you seen this Pop-Up 'Stadium" Wave Card! | WOW!!! 🤩 - YouTube. She does a great job explaining how to create the card. It looks complicated but is actually easy to put together, and you definitely don't need to use an electronic cutting machine to make it.

My daughter-in-law's mom happens to be a good friend of mine (we've known each other for decades now!), and I wanted to make a special card for her birthday using Stampin' Up's Share a Milkshake stamps and dies and thought this pop up wave card would be fun. 

For the front of the card, I used die cut sundae cups, the smaller size of ice cream scoops, whipped cream (in two sizes), and cherries to create a border around the card. I didn't realize the middle sundaes on the top and bottom didn't line up until the glue had set, so I reminded myself that handmade cards aren't perfect and made a mental note to always use a mat piece I haven't adhered to the card base yet for designs like this so if there is something I need to redo, I don't have to start from scratch! The "Happy birthday" sentiment is from Stampin' Up's retired Happiness Abounds stamp set.

For the inside of the card, I used Sabine's cut file to cut out the pieces for the pop-up wave mechanism using my Silhouette Cameo 4. Then I assembled the pop-up elements and glued them together. I created a 6x6 top-folding card and lined the inside with yellow pattern paper that I had embossed using a Craftwell 8 1/2 x 11 inch embossing folder. I adhered that to the inside of the purple card base and then glued down the pop-up wave mechanism. Then I worked on die cutting and stamping all the little sundae cups. I used the waffle cone die from the Share A Milkshake die set and trimmed it down to make each sundae cup (credit for that idea goes to Lisa Curcio). That size fit well on the tiers of the pop up wave mechanism. I die cut the ice cream scoops in several different colors of cardstock and stamped some of them tone-on-tone if they were a plain color. The ones with patterns on them I left as is. I die cut some whipped cream and cherries and stamped the cherries using my MISTI. I added some spoons that I die cut using silver card stock. I just love how the ice cream scoop has a slit in it for the spoon or a straw that's another stamp and die in the set. 

Once I had all the ice cream bowls, scoops, whipped cream, and cherries die cut and stamped, I glued them to the tiers of the pop up wave mechanism. Then I decorated the rest of the inside of the card with elements from the Share A Milkshake stamps and dies. I love the heart dies that are included in the set. I thought a little heart on top of the sundae cup was a cute touch!
