Cheerful Daisies Pop Up Vase

I think this Fun Fold has been around a short while, but I just found it thanks to fellow demonstrator, Dawn Griffith! I wanted to use the new Cheerful Daisies Bundle, since I was making cards for my month Stamp Club Meeting. This is my "original" design, but, you could use ANY floral set to recreate this card, and, you can add a "bouquet" of flowers, or just a single one!!  The choice is yours!  So, get creative and see what YOU can do!



Measurements:  

  • Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet - card base
  • Basic White: 3 1/4" X 4 3/4" (3 daisies front), 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (decorative inside piece); 3/4" x 3 7/8" (pull tab); 1/2" x 2" (anchor); scrap - sentiment
  • Garden Green: 4" x 5 1/4", scraps
  • Mint Macaron (ret): scraps
  • Crushed Curry: 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" (3 daisies inside in vase)
  • Fresh as a Daisy DSP (N): 2 1/4" x 5" (vase), 1 1/2" x 4" (strip) - Daisy Print; 4" x 5 1/4" Wild Wheat background
To Make this Card

  • Fold Thick Basic White cardstock in half to create base. Attach Garden Green layer to inside, right side. Set aside.
  • Score DSP "vase" along 5" at 3/4" and 1 1/2". Turn and score along 2 1/4" side 1" from each end.  Lightly crease.
  • Now, take your Paper Snips and make 2 snips along score lines up to 1" score line on each end.
  • On one end, cut away the 2 outside corners, and on the other end cut away the middle section. Set aside.
  • Score the 3/4" pull tab 3/8" from one end. Lightly crease.
  • Place Tear Tape on the "wrong" side of the middle tab.  Attach unscored end of "pull tab" to this vase tab with cut edge matching score edge make one long extended pull
  • Place Tear Tape on 3/8" end of "pull tab"
  • Lay the "vase/pull tab" out flat on inside left of card, with cut edge of "pull tab" (the end with the Tear Tape, up) even with the crease in the card. Close right side of card over Tear Tape.
  • Open up card flat, again, with everything still flat.
  • Next, take the small, "anchor" piece and place a small strip of Tear Tape on each end. Making sure that everything is laying even, attach "anchor" over "pull tab", near the "vase" end.
  • Lastly, fold "vase" back, up into place. Place Tear Tape onto "right" side of 2 outside "tabs". Carefully remove backing and fold these tabs back.
  • With "vase" laying flat, into closed place, tuck the tabs between the "pull tab" and close card, again. Press the area of the tabs to attach.  Now, open the card and the "vase" should pop up into place!
  • Now, to fill the "vase"!  Cut a variety of flowers and stems from the set you have chosen.
  • Place some images flat onto back of card above "vase". (I used 2 Garden Green and one Mint Macaron "sprigs") Then, add some cut flowers, stems and leaves, to the inside front of "vase". Use some "window sheet" extensions, if necessary. (I us!ed the 3 Daisy image, along with some die cut leaves).
  • Die cut a pretty insert from piece of White.  I stamped the small daisy image in Wild Wheat (N) ink!
  • Design a simple, card front (put all your time and efforts on the inside), and Voila you are done!
