Fold-Back Pop Up Counting Sheep + Video

Dawn Griffith is the queen of folds, with awesome videos to go along with them! I lifted this one directly from her! It's so much fun! It uses the new Incolor - Polished Pink - and the SAB Counting Sheep stamps and Sheep Dies. I have since made 2 more samples with this Fun Fold, and decided to make a video to accompany it below! So, have fun, and enjoy!

Measurements:

Polished Pink (N):1/2 sheet, 2 pcs @ 2 3/4" square, 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" square, 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" square
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" square, 2 pcs @ 2 1/4" square, 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" square, 2" strip for sheep
2021-2023 InColor DSP (N): 3 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5 1/4", 1 @ 2" square
Soft Suede: 1 1/2" x3"

To Make This Card:

Score at Polished Pink base at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Crease well to create a "Z" fold card.
Attach the 3 DSP strips to card base. One on the front fold, one on the inside of the Z fold, and one on the inside/base near the fold.
Take the 2" DSP square (this could be a coordinating piece, or the flip side to what you've already adhered) and cut in half diagonally. Adhere 2 "triangle" to each outer corner of the inside of card, as shown.
Adhere one, white 1/2" square to one of the 2 3/4" Polished Pink squares. Adhere to inside card as shown.
Take the other 2 3/4" Polished Pink square and score it in half, diagonally. Crease well, and trim off the "tip" of one side, leaving an approx 3/4" extension.
Now, apply strong adhesive to this extension. Line up the cut edge to the fold of the wrong side of the Z fold (see pix) and adhere.
Cut remaining 2 1/2" square in half, diagonally. Take time, now, to stamp sentiment while the piece is laying flat. Adhere one half to Pop Up, and toss the other, or save for another card!
Layer the 2 smaller white squares onto the 2 smaller Polished Pink squares. Mount to card front, top and bottom, on point, as shown
Let's stamp and finish the rest of the pieces to finish this card! Stamp 1 each of the 3 "sheep" in Memento Black and cut out with corresponding dies. Add a little color with Blends.
Cut out 1 "balloon" from Polished Pink, and the "fence" from Soft Suede.
Using Mini Dimensionals, add "fence" to the inside of the card. Add the jumping sheep to fence with Dimensionals as well.
Finish by adding the remaining 2 sheep to the front diamonds with Dimensionals and the "balloon" with a Dimensional as well.
