I watched a video recently on Lisa Shaw's Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page demonstrating this fold. After folding the card, I flipped the card over so the middle bits pop forward rather than backwards as it seemed to suite my decorations better.
I started with a 6" x 6" card blank. Lisa used a craft knife and ruler to cut the two slits. As I'm pretty rubbish with a craft knife, I kept the card blank folded, drew a pencil line where the slit needed to go and cut it with scissors, starting at the fold. The patterned paper is from The Works, I bought two of these 12" x 12" paper pads ages ago and they seem to be lasting forever! I used a Cheery Lynn 'Sunflower' die for the large flowers and punches for the small flowers. The leaf tendrils are Poppystamps 'Ivy Tendrils' die cuts. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin' Up 'Boho Indigo' set, using a Versa Color 'Turquoise' inkpad. The sentiment square and mat are Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die cuts. The card folds flat for posting.
Everything apart from the card blank was snippets, so I'll be sharing my card in the Snippets Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:

Your pop-out card is fantastic. The patterned paper and sunflower die cuts add such a cheerful touch, and the sentiment square is beautifully framed. Great technique with the slits—using scissors instead of a craft knife worked perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card, Liz! That is such a clever fold and I love the teal tones in the papers.
