Pink Butterfly Pop Up Flip Card

Found that I had missed posting this sample! Crazy week this week. Hope to do my video today, to post later, so stay tuned!

Another Circle Pop Up Flip Card! This one is so sweet. It could be used for so many occasions!! It's another one that I found on a website. It does use the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle, but not the coordinating DSP! This card has 3 layers on the front. I don't recommend this as the dies don't cut quite as well through 3 layers. Just my opinion!

Measurements:

Petal Pink: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4" (mechanism), 3/4" x 2 1/4" (mechanism), 2 3/4" square
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (outside), 2 7/8" x 5 1/4", 2 1/4" x 3" (butterfly)
Peony Garden DSP: 3 3/4" x 5"

To Make This Card:

Attach Basic White piece to folded Petal Pink card, around the outside edges only. Add Peony DSP the same way.
Cut large stitched circle from front of card. Keep the Petal Pink layer to cut smaller, and toss the DSP. The Basic White will be the "base".
Cut medium stitch circle from the larger circle cut earlier.
Score the 3" x 4" Petal Pink 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 circle. 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 image to the front. As well as any sentiments.
My card wouldn't stay closed, so I added a clear velcro dot!
