Someone on here asked a few days ago about a happy birthday pop that they couldnt find in the template section and i was able to point them in the right direction , anyway i decided to make one for christmas for anyone who may want to use it.
I know I have given templates before but this is a sort of a little thank you to everyone who gave me help when I first got my robo.
I cut it and made a card with it that i have uploaded into my gallery on here as well.
Hope you like it, the photo of the inside isnt great its not easy photographing a popout card!!!!
Very elegant.
Once again be warned, the folding takes some time and patience. As a lot of the joins are quite fine, do not try to force it to fold too quickly or it will break.
TIP; Make sure that where the tab joins the star, the cuts are right through and the waste is free. Even though all the lines on the template connect, if your Robo is just 1mm out it can leave the waste connected.
made this a few weeks ago but being unable to upload for a quiet a while, just read the thread about some thing being changed and yeaaaaaaaaaa i am able to post again.
this is a print and cut

I'm sure older members will remember, kassy. She has been a very poorly lady and not been with us for a while, after asking if I could convert one of her files to Studio format for someone, she very kindly sent me a whole lot of these lovely print and cut pop up files to share with you all.
I'm not going to convert and upload them all in one go, but you will see them popping up over the coming weeks, Lucille.

I would welcome your comments on my first attempt at a Christmas pop-up. The outer card and insert were both cut on 160grm card , red cap, speed 10 and thickness 30 (My robocop has a blue lid). I put a piece of Mirror Card behind the cutout so that it would reflect the sleigh. It cut like a dream with only one pass. My inspiration came from the lovely Filigree Sleigh made by thecountryrose, many thanks again to her. The font I used was Worstveld Sling Extra. I cannot remember the source of the 'reindeer choir' but I have had it on file for several years. The gift boxes were definitely copyright free clipart.
Nervously awaiting your comments!
A couple of hints for newbies. Firstly, if the filigree 'chews up' when cutting, this means that the carrier sheet is not tacky enough. The filigree is very delicate and if the carrier sheet is too tacky then it will be difficult to remove without tearing. This is really a hint for people making their own carrier sheets. The standard sheet should be fine. Use the red blade and only cut once. (Double cutting may also tear the filigree). Take your time (slowly does it) and if possible, use a slender palette knife to remove the sleigh from the carrier sheet. Look at the picture to see which way the folds go. Bend each fold a little bit at a time until you reach the full angle. The card was assembled with double sided tape. Most of all ENJOY!

Thanks for the challenge, frogzone. My template is a pop-up xmas tree card. The pop-up fits inside a 144x144 mm (5 3/4 x 5 3/4 in) card. The GSD file is made using Robomaster Vs. 4.4.
I thought I'd have a go at this month's challenge. Having been away from home for so long, this is my first opportunity to take part in one.
There are 2 offerings, both with pop-up edges. The baby one is very basic. The Christmas one has been done as a pop-up, pop-over, that's pop-over as in wrap, not as in pudding or tart, (tart as in cake).
I did it this way because the cut away lower edge won't be strong enough to support the finished card. Just cut a piece of suitable card to place the wrap over and glue in place. (Ignore the letter I which isn't stuck down properly, I only noticed it when the sun created the shadow from it.)
It also means you can use thicker embossed or glitter card as the base.
Been playing again. This one was done as a Challenge template.
I've done it as a "wrap/pop-over", which means you can cut it in a lighter weight card and mount it over a different colour, I also designed the angel. I coloured her using water colour crayons and cut her out by hand leaving a very fine border. (I've never come to terms with print and cut.)
The outline is there purely for size, so you can ensure the one you print and colour will fit the space. To get the angel, click the thumbnail then right click the image and save onto your computer.
