This is an original creation using the fabulous Field and Flowers SAB DSP and the medium Daisy punch! This is another Oval opening card. (remember my fav shape is the oval). I've found that the Horizontal Oval opening has the most "bounce", as it doesn't catch on the base of the card.
Measurements:
- Basic Black: 1/2 sheet, , 2 3/4" square
- Basic White: 2 pcs 4" x 5 1/4" (inside & outside), 3" x 4" (mechanism), 3/4" x 2 1/4" (mechanism), strip (daisies)
- Field & Flowers SAB DSP (ret): 3 3/4" x 5"
To Make This Card:
- Attach Basic White piece to folded Black card, around the outside edges only. Add Field & Flowers DSP the same way.
- Cut large stitched oval from front of card. Keep the Basic White layer for the "base" and cut a smaller, stitched Oval from the DSP. Discard the Black oval.
- Score the 3" x 4" Basic White piece at 1", 2", 3". Crease well. Fold this piece in half. Add Tear & Tape to one outside 1" area, one of the ends. Flip this over and adhere to inside of card, with cut edge along fold of card. "Eyeball" this so it is centered behind the Oval opening.
- Keeping this piece folded in half, add Tear & Tape to the other "end" and close the card! Voila the first mechanism/pop up!
- Now, take the 3/4" strip and score at 1 1/4". Hold in half and crease well. Flip over so the longer side is up, and place Tear & Tape on this area. Close your card, and place this mechanism so the adhesive side is down, short side is up, and cut edge is against the oval. Press down.
- Now place some adhesive on the shorter side. Close card, and place cut circles in the opening and attach to the flap with the adhesive on it. Check to see that it works!! Isn't it fun!!
- Finish by adding Daisies to the front. I punched out 2 daisies per flower and added Resin Dot centers
- My card wouldn't stay closed, so I added a clear velcro dot!
