I've been wanting to try this fold for a while. It's called a Side Tower Pop Up Card. I did one many years ago! So much fun to create, and the best thing is it fits easily into an A2 envelope! This one is a "Becky Original" inspired by one, a Petal Pink version, by Susan Campfield (which I'll include below). Mine uses Lost Lagoon paired with DSP from the Storybook Moments and Timeless Plaid papers. There wasn't a small enough die cut critter to fit in the frame as I'd like, so this one is stamped and colored with blends! You really need to give this one a try!
Measurements:
- Lost Lagoon:: 1/4 sheet, 4 1/4" x 5" (tower), 3 1/2" x 6" (pop up)
- Pool Party: 3 3/8" x 3 7/8" (pop up), 4" x 5 1/4" (back)
- Mossy Meadow: 3 3/4" x 5" (back), 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" (pop up)
- Timeless Plaid (N): 3" x 3 1/2" (pop up), 1/2" x 3 3/4" strip
- Storybook Moments (N): 2 pcs @ 7/8" x 4 1/8" (tower), 1 1/2" x 4 1/8" (right side)
- Basic White: 3" x 3 1/4" (frame), scrap
To Make This Card:
- Score the "tower" piece at 1" - 2" - 3" - 4". Crease well, making all creases "mountain" folds! (This will create 5 - 1" sections).
- Place Tear n Tape on last 1" section, and adhere together, making "tower". Once, formed, lay flat (it WILL lay better one direction), and place Tear n Tape on one of the other 1" sections. Remove backing, and attach to "postcard" base placing folded edge with the Tear n Tape even to cut edge.
- Adhere DSP pieces to "outside" tower pieces.
- Score the "pop up" piece at 1" - 2". Crease well. These are both "mountain" folds as well.
- Place Tear n Tape on the last 1" section of the "pop up".
- Now, pop the "tower" into place. Flatten the 2 "pop up" sections of the "pop up" piece back behind top.
- Next, line up the left, cut edge of the "pop up" to the crease of the tower, as shown. lay flat, into mailing mode, and stick back piece into place.
- Now, place Tear n Tape on the wrong side of the left edge, and adhere this to the "tower". And, voila!
- Now, you can add the last DSP strip to the right side of the card base.
- Layer all the "pop up" pieces together and add to "pop up" piece.
- Die cut square "frame" from White piece. Add to "pop up" piece with Adhesive Strips.
- Stamp small bunny in Memento Black. Color with Blends, and die cut with corresponding die. Add inside "frame" with Dimensionals.
- Now, for the back. Layer all 3 layers together and adhere to the back. Add decorative strip of DSP, and stamp sentiment on the back.
- To finish, wrap Pool Party ribbon around tower and tie in a knot. Also, scatter Antique Pearls on the inside of the frame.
