Hey, Crafty Friends! It’s Debbie with Debbie J’s Crafting Corner, and today, we are diving into a fun and festive project using the A7 Fall Tree Pop-Up Card Metal Die Bundle! This is such a fantastic bundle, packed with all the goodies you need to create a stunning pop-up card that screams fall with its sunflowers, pumpkins, and more. If you’re like me and love experimenting with new techniques, you’re going to love what we’re doing today.
Tools & Supplies:
- A7 Fall Tree Pop-Up Card Metal Die Bundle
- Altenew – 9 x 12 Ultra Sticky Mat
- Distress Inks: Carved Pumpkin, Fired Brick, Mustard Seed, Walnut Stain, Rustic Wilderness, Bundled Sage
- Blending brushes
- Spellbinders Platinum 6 Die-cutting machine
- Scotch Foam tape
- My Sweet Petunia – Glue Press
- Bearly Art Glue
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Let’s Cut and Color
To kick things off, I die-cut all the pieces from white cardstock—sunflowers, pumpkins, trees, and even that adorable little fence. If you’re not sure what design direction you’re going to take, starting with white cardstock is perfect! This gives you full flexibility to color and customize your project as you go along, which is exactly what I did. I grabbed my Distress Inks, including Carved Pumpkin and Fired Brick, and started inking up those pumpkins. I love how easy it is to blend the colors together, creating depth and shadow.
For the sunflowers, I used Mustard Seed ink, adding Walnut Stain for the centers. And let me tell you, these sunflowers came to life in no time! A little Rustic Wilderness on the stems added the perfect touch of green. Remember, nature isn’t perfect—so don’t stress about making everything symmetrical. Just play with it and have fun!
Step 2: Build That Forest Backdrop
Next up, we’re focusing on the trees. I wanted to give them some texture, so I dragged some Distress Inks across the die cuts to create a wood grain effect. This step is so fun because no two trees will look exactly the same, and that’s what makes it special. Once the ink dried, I glued two layers of trees together, flipping one layer for a fuller, more realistic backdrop. This extra layer not only looks great but adds sturdiness to the pop-up card.
Step 3: Pop-Up Magic
What makes this die bundle truly amazing is the pop-up feature. After getting all my elements inked and ready, I started assembling the card. The die set includes a special piece to create the pop-up structure inside, and the little crosspiece lets you add different layers, giving your card beautiful depth and dimension. It’s like building a mini fall scene right in front of your eyes!
Step 4: Finishing Touches
With my sunflowers, pumpkins, and trees in place, I started adding the finishing touches. I used more of the Rustic Wilderness ink for the fence and added shading to make it pop. Once everything was glued in place, I admired how it all came together—a perfect autumn card filled with vibrant colors and texture.

This pop-up card was an absolute joy to create! It’s the perfect fall project with all its pumpkins, sunflowers, and trees.
