4-Panel Pop Out

 I found this interesting Fun Fold, with no particular instructions!  I've done this type of card before, just not recently! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!  I love the use of the decorative frames from the Scalloped Wishes Bundle! I added a touch of Glimmer from the retired Pastel Ombre Glimmer paper, and of course used the gorgeous Valley in Bloom Suite!




Measurements:  

  • Garden Green: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/2" x 11" (inside)
  • Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (2 frames), 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" (2 flower stems)
  • Pastel Ombre Glimmer (ret): 3 3/4" x 4" green - (leaves, dragonfly body); blue scraps (dragonfly wings, small dragonfly)  
  • Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 5 1/4" x 4" (corner flowers); 2 pcs @ 5 1/4" x 4" ("sky" area of bottom border); 4 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (small tulip print - backgrounds); 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" ("sky" background pieces with a little sprig)
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Garden Green card base in half.  Adhere corner DSP piece to front, and 2 
    "sky" pieces to each side of the inside.
  • Score the inside, 4-panel strip in half, @ 5 1/2" and then 2 3/4" from each end.  Accordion Fold and crease well.
  • Adhere the 4 "small tulip" print pieces to the accordion, alternating the tulips and plaid on the reverse side.
  • Next, die cut detailed oval "frame" from the Scalloped Wishes Dies out of the 2 White pieces.
  • Then, cut 2 more from the background scraps of the "sky" pieces.
  • Stamp the small Lily of the Valley Sprig in the 2 White Ovals.
  • Color the flowers with Pool Party Blends and the Leaves with Lemon Lime Twist.
  • Adhere to "small tulip" panels.  Add a little Wink of Stella to the flowers.
  • Now, adhere the 2 "background" oval "frames" to the other 2, plaid, panels. 
  • Stamp a sentiment in the last frame with Garden Green ink.
  • I decided to die cut a "dragonfly" from the Scalloped Wishes Dies from the Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper. 
  • I also stamped a small dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes Stamps in StazOn ink onto the Glitter Paper and die cut with coordinating die.
  • Next, fold the accordion piece into place. Adhere to the back, inside of card, having even edges showing, and making sure the card will close without the inside panel showing.
  • Now, to finish the front.
  • Die cut 2 Lily of the Valley "sprigs" from White cardstock.  Color the "stems" with the Dk Granny Apple Green Blend.  Add a little color to the white flowers with Pool Party.
  • Next, die cut 2 "leaves" from the green Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper.  Assemble onto the front of card, as shown, with the floral "sprigs".
  • I added a small sentiment from the new Phrases & Frames stamps and Impressions dies.  The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink.  I added it to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
  • FInish with double White Baker's Twine bow, and scattered Shimmering Dots.
