I saw a version of this card on Julie Davison's Mega Card Swap. I had no clue what it was called, as I had never seen it before! I LOVE a challenge, so off to Pinterest I went. I FINALLY found it!! Cindy Brumbaugh had one..with a video, somewhat similar to this one! I have since found another version, which I will try, later! Some call this a Center Pop Up Card, some call it a Pillar Pop Up Card, and others call it a Column Pop Up Card. Whatever you call it, it's really neat!! And, yes, it collapses down to fit in an A2 envelope!
Stay tuned...Mom & I are creating today. We're going to make a few more samples for my video which I will be doing tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Be sure to check it out tomorrow, too!
Measurements:
- Cinnamon Cider: 1/4 sheet (card base), 4 1/4" x 9 1/2" (Center Mechanism)
- Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP: 4" x 5 1/4" (Brick), 3 3/4" x 4" (Wood Grain), plants
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scraps
- Window Sheet: 2 1/4" x 3 5/8"
To Make This Card:
- Attach the "brick" DSP to the Cinnamon Cider quarter. Set aside.
- Score the Center Mechanism along the 9 1/2" side at: 1/2", 1 1/4", 2", 2 3/4", 6 3/4", 7 1/2", 8 1/4" and 9". Lightly crease the ends, creating "columns".
- Take the largest Stitched Rectangle Die that will fit on the "wood grain" DSP and cut out the opening. Discard the center.
- Adhere the DSP with the cut opening onto the center 4" section of the Center piece.
- Now, cut a smaller opening with the next, smaller size Stitched Rectangle Die. This creates a nice "frame".
- Place 1/8" Tear n Tape around the opening on the wrong side. Attach Window Sheet.
- Place 1/4" Tear n Tape on each end of the "mechanism" (1/2" piece).
- Skip one scored section on the "mechanism" and then place 2 rows of 1/4" Tear n Tape on the next section.
- Remove backing on 1/2" section.and fold into place (see video).
- Next, remove backing on next section. Take "base" with "bricks" on it. Flatten the Center section one direction (right or left). Match folded edge to cut edge of "base" and adhere.
- Now, flatten the other direction, match the folded edge to cut edge of other side of "base" and adhere.
- Voila! You have a Pop Up Center!!
- Now you need to finish decorating the front!! I cut a "pot" and 2 "plants" from the DSP using the coordinating dies. Assemble and attach to front over Window Sheet. (I would like to try one with the hanging macrame pot, too!)
- Add sentiment in Evening Evergreen, if desired.
- To finish the card, stamp the back White panel, as desired. This is where you write your message and sign your card. Attach to back "base".
