Pop-Up Easel Card

I recently received a card with this fold, which I think is known as a Pop-Up Easel Card.  I've never tried this style of fold before, but thought I'd give it a try for a card I needed to make for card swap and this is what I came up with.

I started with a piece of cardstock 21cm x 21cm.  I used a Couture Creations 'Fireflies' embossing folder for the white panels.  The circles are all cut with Memory Box ' Stitched Circle Layers' dies and the flowers were made with punches.

The computer generated sentiment stands up as a little easel and the small sunflower is layered on a circle die cut and raised up on foam pads.  

The base of the card can be twisted round to reveal a plain white panel for the message.  The card folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges:


As promised in a previous post, here are the cards I made at a Stampin' Up retreat the weekend before last.  I put the finishing touches to a few of the cards at home.

  6. Now that's an impressive fold Liz, looks very complicated! Lovely design, the white embossed background is a lovely contrast to the bright bold borders and die cuts.

    1. It's surprising easy, Chris. I thought it was going to be complicated, but it's basically a square piece of card scored into quarters, one cut and two more score lines. xx

  23. This is a lovely card Liz with a beautiful sentiment. I've only made a couple of cards with folds like this one and I found it so time consuming cutting out all the layers in contrasting colours, so I'm in awe when I see one like yours, it's superb! x

  35. Liz, so happy to have found your blog and this fun fold! This is known as a 'corner fold' and very similar to one I created several years ago. This one is much simpler, however. Thanks for sharing yours! You inspired me to create one like this and it can be found here - http://lovetoscrap2.com/2020/03/02/just-dance - if you'd like to take a peek! I gave you credit in my blog post! ;)
