Whimsy & Wonder Pop Out Card

I saw this card and fell in love, both with the colors and the fold, which I had never seen before! It's called a Pop Out card! Mine is actually made with Soft Succulent, not the intended Mint Macaron.  Hmm, how did that color get in the wrong folder??  Anyway, the Poinsettia Petals set does have some nice holly in it, but I really liked the holly from the retired Christmas Gleaming stamp set! So, use whatever YOU have for the holly!!  We WILL be doing this fold in my next FUN FOLD class the 4th week of Octomber.



Measurements:    

  • Mint Macaron (Soft Succulent): 4 1/4" x 9", 3" x 5 1/2"
  • Silver Foil (N): 2 1/2" x 3 1/8"
  • Basic White: 2 1/4" x 2 7/8", scrap
  • Whimsy & Wonder DSP (N): 4" x 4 1/4", 3/4" x 4"
To Make This Card:

  • Score 9" piece at 5 1/2" - 6 1/2" - 7 1/2" - 8 1/2".
  • Crease along all score lines creating a "box".  Place Tear n Tape along 1/2" area. Lay this piece flat onto back of card, so this will go flat into an envelope.
  • Attach DSP to the back.
  • Score 5 1/2" piece at 4" - 5".  Place tear n tape along 1/2" area.  Fold both areas back. Line up second score line to the cut edge and adhere Tape to card. 
  • While laying flat, attach other end to "box". Now, you can add DSP strip.
  • Stamp "holly" onto scrap of White.  Color with Blends and fussy cut out. Add Wink of Stella, if desired.
  • Stamp sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals in Black onto White piece.  Attach to Silver Foil, then to card front.  
  • Finish by attach "holly" to front and scattring a few clear Rhinestones.
