Here's the card I did yesterday on my video! I used some of the die cuts from the Snail Mail DSP that I had cut previously. Very clean and simple and doable, too!
Measurements:
- Pool Party: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4" (mechanism), 3/4" x 2 1/4" (mechanism)
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/8" x 3" (oval)
- Snail Mail DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4", die cuts
To Make This Card:
- Attach Mushroom DSP piece to folded Black card Pool Party, around the outside edges only.
- Cut large stitched oval from front of card. Keep the Pool Party piece for the "base". Discard the DSP. Cut a smaller, stitched Oval Basic White..
- Score the 3" x 4" Pool Party 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 Mushroom die cuts to the front. I also added several to the inside.
- My card wouldn't stay closed, so I added a clear velcro dot!
