Making a Twist and Pop card was on my list of techniques to try in 2018 and this is the second one I've made. This one is for my granddaughter, who turned nine just before Christmas.
All the images are Lavina stamps, stamped with Versafine 'Onyx Black'. I've added some clear Wink of Stella to the flowers on the stamped image to add a little sparkle. The patterned papers are all from a LOTV paper pad that came as a freebie with a magazine some time ago. The flower was made with punches.
The fairies inside the card are alI stamped on Memory Box 'Stitched Square' die cuts. I arranged the fairies so it looks as if the single fairies are following the fairy on the snail. The Memory Box 'Sofia Heart' die cut is inlaid on a stitched circle die cut and layered on a Spellbinder 'Scalloped Circle'.
I am joining in the following challenges:
That is a fabulous make Liz, a complex looking piece and beautifully done for your granddaughter. I must admit paper engineering is not my forte but you have obviously got that mathematical brain, and love the fairies silhouettes and the sweet little girl and fairy image on the front too. x

Wow! Such amazing card for your granddaughter's Birthday! It looks so sweet! Love the Twist and Pop folding, I have never tried it but this is in my "to do, some day" list :D
ReplyDeleteAll the stamps and diecuts are adorable! Well done!!
BEAUTIFUL. LOVE your use of the lavinia stamps, they are so pretty...love doing this pop card which is always affective in so many ways.,x
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful Liz. I've had a go at the technique myself but wasn't happy with my results, I found the card too bulky to close properly. Maybe I should have used a lighter weight card? Yours looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteFrom memory, the card I used for the inside was 210gsm. Because of the layers, they are a little bulky, although I got mine to close properly. The first card I made with this fold, I made a box 1cm deep to send it in. I made up a card in copier paper first to see the best place to put the folding mechanism and have kept this as a template for future ones. xx
DeleteSuch a beautiful card Liz, I love the bright papers you've used.

ReplyDeleteLove the look of the pop out! Very tricky to make I'm guessing. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hugs Shaz in Oz.x
It was much easier to make than I thought it would be. I found several instructions online and changed them slightly to make a 7" x 5" finished card. xx
DeleteHi Liz
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card .. .. not a card fold I have ever tried. You have inspired me to give one a go sometime! I bet your Grand-daughter loved it.
Beautiful images too!
I hope you had a really lovely Christmas and wish you all the best for 2019!
Love Jules xx
Super card Liz - I've only made a couple of these myself as I find they take time. Shabneez x
ReplyDeleteSO fun - I love the surprise on the inside with all the additional images - especially the way they pop out for the recipient! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Jill
