I shared this Sailing Home Pop-Up Diorama card during this week’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live and really stumbled through it. My listeners were so kind to stay with me until the end and I hope they were happy with the results.
Paper Cutting/Scoring Guide
- Card Front = 8″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Bermuda Bay card stock scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8″ side. Fold on score line.

- Additional Card stock for Die-cuts = scraps of Whisper White, Sahara Sand and Soft Suede card stock.
It’s important to have the card stock measurements and score lines accurate to create this 3-D pop-up card but look at the result!
Did you notice the wavy water in the background? Watch my video tutorial to see how I was able to create the look of waves with just a scrap of card stock, ink and a blending brush. I mentioned that I had a little trouble assembling this card but edited all the goof-ups out of the video. The replay is a little choppy but it will explain correctly how to make this card.
Product List
Now that I’ve worked out all the kinks and know what I’m doing, I can’t wait to make more of these types of cards. I hope this encourages you to create your own diorama pop-up cards!
