Pop and Flip Card

 

Supplies

 

5 ½ X 8 ½” Cardstock base

3 X 4” piece of cardstock

¾ X 2 ¼” piece of cardstock

DSP 4 X 5 ¼”

Die for pop up opening. (I used tasteful label dies)

Die cutting machine

Pansy Dies for main feature or your choice

 

Steps

 

1)    Score 3 X 4” piece of cardstock at 1”, 2” and 3” on the 4” side.  Burnish the folds with a bone folder, so they fold easily.

2)    Score ¾ X 2 ¼” piece of cardstock at 1 ¼” on the 2 ¼” side. Burnish fold.

3)    Score 5 ½ X 8 ½” piece of cardstock at 4 ¼” on the 8 ½” side. (Card Base)

4)    Attach the DSP to the front of the card base putting tape only on the edges of the DSP.

5)    Open up the card and place your die for the pop-up opening in the centre of the front of the card and run it through your die cutting machine.  Reserve the DSP cutout for another use and keep the cardstock cutout for finishing the card.

6)    Fold the 3 X 4 piece of cardstock so all the folds are mountains.  You now have a 3D rectangle.  Put tape along the edge of one of the 3” edges, open your card base and centre the taped piece next to the score line of the card base so it is parallel to the score line on the back of the inside.  Fold the piece upwards on the 2” score line and put tape along the very edge of the other 3” side.  Close the card and press the front where the tape is.  Open the card and you should have a little box placed at the centre crease of the card. 

7)    Close the card again and put adhesive on the ¾” edge of the long side of the ¾ X 2 ¼” piece of cardstock.  And place it with the ¾” edge of the long side near the top of the opening and attached to the 3D box.  The folded edge is toward you.

8)    Glue together your Pansy or whatever embellishment you are using for the front, stamp the die cut piece that you saved from before and glue your embellishment to the front of the die cut piece.

9)    Put tape on the short flap of the ¾” X 2 ¼” piece of cardstock only and with the card closed, replace the die cut into the opening it was cut from.

10)  Open the card and the die cut should swing upwards and inwards to be viewed from inside or outside.

11)  Stamp a greeting to the bottom left of the inside of the card where it will not be covered by the popped-up die cut
