I'm always on the lookout for easy fun folds, and spotted this one on Pinterest done by fellow demonstrator Sue Campfield. She had some awesome inspiration! This was one of them! I love the colors, the layout, the fold...just everything! And, it was so easy to make!
Measurements:
- Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 2 1/4" x 3" (pop up), 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" (side panels), 3" x 4 1/2" (bottom panel), 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (top panel), scrap
- Night of Navy: 3" x 4", scrap
- Countryside Inn DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4
- Misty Moonlight (ret): scrap
- Boho Blue (N): scrap
To Make This Card:
- Fold the White base in half. Then, fold the card front back on itself, creating a "Z" fold.
- Attach desired DSP to back panel.
- Take the 2 side panel pieces and emboss them (you can do this together) with the new Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. Attach to "Z" panels.
- Next, we'll create the pop up mechanism. Score along the 3" side at 3/4"-1 1/2"-2 1/4". Crease well along all score lines creating a "box".
- Now, flatten that "box" so that the 2 cut edges meet. Place Tear n Tape along the FOLDS (or the entire 3/4" piece if you prefer). Make sure the cut edges do not overlap each other, or prevent the back fold from creasing.
- Next, place the "box" tape side down on the "inside" of the card (so half will be on top of the DSP), so that the cut edges arenalong the crease of the card. This is best done with the card laying flat/open. Adhere the Tear n Tape down well. (I got in there with my bone folder.
- Now, to create the next panel. Stamp the sentiment of your choice in Navy ink.
- Place Tear n Tape on the "top" of the "box". Line the cut edge of this panel even with the embossed panel and centered on the card. Carefully press onto adhesive.
- Now for the top panel. Attach the last White layer to the Night of Navy piece. Set aside.
- Die cut the "flowerbox" from the middle stitched rectangle from the bundle dies. Cut the "largest" set of leaves from Misty Moonlight, one set from Boho Blue, and the "babiesbreath" from White.
- Now to assemble. Tie a knot in the Boho Textured Ribbon. Attach the knot it to the "flowerbox" with a glue dot, then wrap to the back and adhere to the wrong side.
- Next, we'll layer the "flowers".You will build your "arrangement" either from the bottom up or top down, which ever you prefer.
- Place adhesive on the 1/4" base, and attach the next strip on top. Add adhesive to the next, and add the next strip on top. They are spaced so nicely! Then, place adhesive on the top strip and adhere to the "flowerbox" centering the stacked strips, and placing them a little below the top edge so you don't see the edges.
- Place Dimensionals along the bottom (to even out the thickness of the stacked strips, and adhesive on the back of the last strip. Adhere to front White panel.
- Stamp greeting of your choice in Night of Navy.
- Lastly, attach 1/2 of front panel to folded back panel.
- Finish with scattered Tinsel Gems 3-pack in Misty Moonlight.
